Description

This security bulletin contains information about 10 vulnerabilities.


1) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5764)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when handling templates. A remote user can remove the unsafe designation from template data and execute arbitrary code on the system.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41723)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources in the HPACK decoder. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 stream to the application, cause resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34055)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in Web Observations. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that application is using Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux and that org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-actuator is on the classpath.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48564)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability occurs when processing malformed Apple Property List files in binary format. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48560)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free exists via heappushpop in heapq. A remote attacker can trigger the vulnerability to perform a denial of service attack.


6) Improper authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2048)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of client TLS certificates when configured with a non-CA certificate as trusted certificate. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted certificate file to bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the application.


7) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22243)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing URL with the UriComponentsBuilder component. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.


8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5954)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling policy requests. A remote attacker can send multiple requests to the application, which trigger policy checks and consume large amounts of memory, leading to a denial of service condition.


9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4785)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to lack of error handling in the TCP server in Google's gRPC. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack by initiating a significant number of connections with the server.


10) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0475)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when processing archvies. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted archive to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
