Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) 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.
4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21733)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application when processing incomplete HTTP POST requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the server and obtain data from a previous request from another user.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23672)
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. A remote attacker can keep WebSocket connections open for a long time to trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24549)
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 handling HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP/2 requests to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34750)
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 handling HTTP/2 stream. A remote attacker can initiate multiple HTTP/2 connections to the server that are remain open and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-38286)
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 during the TLS handshake process. A remote attacker can initiate multiple TLS connections, trigger memory exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
