Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2023-36478
DESCRIPTION: Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an integer overflow and buffer allocation in MetaDataBuilder.checkSize. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CWE: CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2024-30171
DESCRIPTION: The Bouncy Castle Crypto Package For Java could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw in the RSA decryption (both PKCS#1v1.5 and OAEP) feature. By utilize timing side-channel attack techniques, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CWE: CWE-203: Observable Discrepancy
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-6763
DESCRIPTION: Eclipse Jetty is a lightweight, highly scalable, Java-based web server and Servlet engine . It includes a utility class, HttpURI, for URI/URL parsing.
The HttpURI class does insufficient validation on the authority segment of a URI. However the behaviour of HttpURI
differs from the common browsers in how it handles a URI that would be
considered invalid if fully validated against the RRC. Specifically HttpURI
and the browser may differ on the value of the host extracted from an
invalid URI and thus a combination of Jetty and a vulnerable browser may
be vulnerable to a open redirect attack or to a SSRF attack if the URI
is used after passing validation checks.
CWE: CWE-1286: Improper Validation of Syntactic Correctness of Input
CVSS Source: GitHub
CVSS Base score: 3.7
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-30172
DESCRIPTION: The Bouncy Castle Crypto Package For Java is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an infinite loop in the Ed25519 verification code. By persuading a victim to use a specially crafted signature and public key, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CWE: CWE-835: Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-33201
DESCRIPTION: The Bouncy Castle Crypto Package For Java (bc-java) could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by not validating the X.500 name of any certificate in the implementation of the X509LDAPCertStoreSpi.java class. By using blind LDAP injection attack techniques, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CWE: CWE-295: Improper Certificate Validation
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 7.1
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-33202
DESCRIPTION: Bouncy Castle for Java before 1.73 contains a potential Denial of Service (DoS) issue within the Bouncy Castle org.bouncycastle.openssl.PEMParser class. This class parses OpenSSL PEM encoded streams containing X.509 certificates, PKCS8 encoded keys, and PKCS7 objects. Parsing a file that has crafted ASN.1 data through the PEMParser causes an OutOfMemoryError, which can enable a denial of service attack. (For users of the FIPS Java API: BC-FJA 1.0.2.3 and earlier are affected; BC-FJA 1.0.2.4 is fixed.)
CWE: CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2021-28170
DESCRIPTION: Eclipse EE4J Jakarta Expression Language could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw in the ELParserTokenManager module. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass input validation of EL expressions.
CWE: CWE-20: Improper Input Validation
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-29857
DESCRIPTION: The Bouncy Castle Crypto Package For Java is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation. By importing an EC certificate with crafted F2m parameters, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause excessive CPU consumption.
CWE: CWE-125: Out-of-bounds Read
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-40167
DESCRIPTION: Jetty is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by improper parsing of the HTTP/1 request header. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CWE: CWE-130: Improper Handling of Length Parameter Inconsistency
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-8184
DESCRIPTION: Eclipse Jetty is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out of memory flaw in the ThreadLimitHandler.getRemote() function. By sending specially crafted requests, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust the server memory and results in a denial of service condition.
CWE: CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
CVSS Source: GitHub
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2023-4218
DESCRIPTION: Eclipse IDE could allow a local authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by improper handling of XML external entity (XXE) declarations. By persuading a victim to open specially crafted XML content, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CWE: CWE-611: Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2023-48795
DESCRIPTION: The SSH transport protocol with certain OpenSSH extensions, found in OpenSSH before 9.6 and other products, allows remote attackers to bypass integrity checks such that some packets are omitted (from the extension negotiation message), and a client and server may consequently end up with a connection for which some security features have been downgraded or disabled, aka a Terrapin attack. This occurs because the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), implemented by these extensions, mishandles the handshake phase and mishandles use of sequence numbers. For example, there is an effective attack against SSH's use of ChaCha20-Poly1305 (and CBC with Encrypt-then-MAC). The bypass occurs in chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com and (if CBC is used) the -etm@openssh.com MAC algorithms.

According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response."

CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
