Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2024-38819
DESCRIPTION: Applications serving static resources through the functional web frameworks WebMvc.fn or WebFlux.fn are vulnerable to path traversal attacks. An attacker can craft malicious HTTP requests and obtain any file on the file system that is also accessible to the process in which the Spring application is running.
CWE: CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
CVSS Source: security@vmware.com
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-22968
DESCRIPTION: Spring Framework could provide weaker than expected security, caused by a data binding rules vulnerability in which the patterns for disallowedFields on a DataBinder are case sensitive. The case sensitivity allows that a field is insufficiently protected unless it is listed with both upper and lower case for the first character of the field. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to launch further attacks on the system.
CWE: CWE-178: Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 3.7
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2024-38828
DESCRIPTION: Spring MVC controller methods with an @RequestBody byte[] method parameter are vulnerable to a DoS attack.
CWE: CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
CVSS Source: IBM X-Force
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2024-38808
DESCRIPTION: VMware Tanzu Spring Framework is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation. By sending a specially crafted Spring Expression Language (SpEL) expression, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CWE: CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling
CVSS Source: VMware
CVSS Base score: 4.3
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2024-38809
DESCRIPTION: VMware Tanzu Spring Framework is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation. By sending a specially crafted HTTP request containing ETags from "If-Match" or "If-None-Match" request headers, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CWE: CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
CVSS Source: GitHub, Inc.
CVSS Base score: 5.3

CVEID: CVE-2024-47072
DESCRIPTION: XStream is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a stack-based buffer overflow in BinaryStreamDriver. By sending a specially crafted binary input stream, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CWE: CWE-121: Stack-based Buffer Overflow
CVSS Source: Github
CVSS Base score: 7.5

Disclaimer
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." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. 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.
