Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24998)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to Apache Commons FileUpload does not limit the number of request parts. A remote attacker can initiate a series of uploads and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Sensitive cookie in HTTPS session without Secure attribute (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28708)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to Apache Tomcat does not set the "Secure" attribute for the JSESSIONID session cookie when using the RemoteIpFilter with requests received from a reverse proxy via HTTP that include the X-Forwarded-Proto header set to https. A remote attacker can force the application to transmit cookie via an insecure channel and intercept it.
3) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28709)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fox for #VU72427 (CVE-2023-24998). If non-default HTTP connector settings were used such that the maxParameterCount could be reached using query string parameters and a request was submitted that supplied exactly maxParameterCount parameters in the query string, the limit for uploaded request parts could be bypassed. A remote attacker can initiate a series of uploads and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.4) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46589)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests when parsing malformed trailer headers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
5) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41080)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.
The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data, if the ROOT (default) web application is configured to use FORM authentication. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to perform a phishing attack and steal potentially sensitive information.
6) Exposed dangerous method or function (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42794)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to Tomcat's internal fork of a Commons FileUpload included an unreleased, in progress refactoring that exposed a potential denial of service on Windows. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack by uploading multiple files to the server that are not removed.
7) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42795)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when recycling various internal objects. A remote attacker can force Tomcat to skip some parts of the recycling process leading to information leaking from the current request/response to the next.
8) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45648)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation when parsing HTTP trailer headers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
