Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21634)
CWE-ID: CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
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 due in `ion-java` for applications that use `ion-java` to deserialize Ion text encoded data, or deserialize Ion text or binary encoded data into the `IonValue` model and then invoke certain `IonValue` methods on that in-memory representation. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7885)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure sharing of resources where the ProxyProtocolReadListener reuses the same StringBuilder instance across multiple requests. As a result, different requests may share the same StringBuilder instance, potentially leading to information leakage between requests or responses. In some cases, a value from a previous request or response may be erroneously reused, which could lead to unintended data exposure.
