Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28165)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
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 to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing large TLS frames. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the server, trigger CPU high load and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-57699)
CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
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 to improper management of internal resources within the application when handling a specially crafted JSON input. A remote attacker can pass a large number of ’{’ characters to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Note, the vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU75044 (CVE-2023-1370).
3) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1370)
CWE-ID: CWE-674 - Uncontrolled Recursion
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 to uncontrolled recursion when processing nested arrays and objects. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted JSON data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5072)
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
