SB2024091810 - Multiple vulnerabilities in Apache CXF

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-32007)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

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

The vulnerability exists within the JOSE code due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input passed via the p2c parameter. A remote attacker can pass a large value for the affected parameter in a token and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

2) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29736)

CWE-ID: CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input passed via the WADL stylesheet parameter. 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 requires that a custom stylesheet parameter is configured.

3) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-41172)

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in HTTPClient. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.
