Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11798)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: 6.9 [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]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to unspecified flaw. A remote attacker can access files outside the set webservers docroot path.


2) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-0205)

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when processing user-supplied input. A remote attacker can pass malicious input to the application and consume all available system resources or cause denial of service conditions.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13949)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: 8.7 [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]


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. A remote attacker can send specially crafted messages and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-41603)

CWE-ID: CWE-297 - Improper Validation of Certificate with Host Mismatch

CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to impersonate a trusted host.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of certificate with host mismatch in Java TSSLTransportFactory when establishing TLS connections. A remote attacker can present a certificate with a mismatched hostname to impersonate a trusted host.


5) Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-66053)

CWE-ID: CWE-297 - Improper Validation of Certificate with Host Mismatch

CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass hostname verification in TLS certificate validation.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of certificate with host mismatch in the Python TSSLSocket hostname matcher import in Apache Thrift Python bindings when establishing TLS connections. A remote attacker can present a certificate with a mismatched hostname to bypass hostname verification in TLS certificate validation.


6) Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43869)

CWE-ID: CWE-297 - Improper Validation of Certificate with Host Mismatch

CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to spoof a trusted server.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of certificate with host mismatch in TSSLTransportFactory.java when establishing TLS connections. A remote attacker can present a certificate for a different host to spoof a trusted server.
