Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-5237)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
2) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22569)
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. protobuf-java allowes the interleaving of
com.google.protobuf.UnknownFieldSet fields in such a way that would be
processed out of order. A small malicious payload can occupy the parser
for several minutes by creating large numbers of short-lived objects
that cause frequent, repeated pauses. A remote attacker can trick the victim into passing specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service attack.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3171)
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 containing multiple instances of non-repeated embedded messages with repeated or unknown fields. A remote attacker can cause objects to be converted back-n-forth between mutable and immutable forms, resulting in potentially long garbage collection pauses.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3509)
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 when parsing textformat data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3510)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Policy (Google Protobuf-Java) component in Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core Policy. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
