Resource exhaustion in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform - CVE-2023-3171

Vulnerability identifier: #VU82197

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3171

CWE-ID: CWE-400

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to an error in EAP-7 during deserialization of certain classes, which permits instantiation of HashMap and HashTable with no checks on resources consumed. A remote attacker can send specially crafted requests using these classes to trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
