ActionServlet.java in Apache Struts 1 1.x through 1.3.10 mishandles multithreaded access to an ActionForm instance, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (unexpected memory access) via a multipart request, a related issue to CVE-2015-0899.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-031329 advisory.

    ActionServlet.java in Apache Struts 1 1.x through 1.3.10 mishandles multithreaded access to an ActionForm     instance, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (unexpected     memory access) via a multipart request, a related issue to CVE-2015-0899.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Atlassian Jira Service Management Data Center and Server (Jira Service Desk) running on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the JSDSERVER-16462 advisory.

  - ActionServlet.java in Apache Struts 1 1.x through 1.3.10 mishandles multithreaded access to an ActionForm     instance, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (unexpected     memory access) via a multipart request, a related issue to CVE-2015-0899. (CVE-2016-1181)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - ActionServlet.java in Apache Struts 1 1.x through 1.3.10 mishandles multithreaded access to an ActionForm     instance, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (unexpected     memory access) via a multipart request, a related issue to CVE-2015-0899. (CVE-2016-1181)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is version 7.0.0.x through 7.0.0.45, 8.0.0.x through 8.0.0.15, 8.5.0.x prior to 8.5.5.14 or 9.0.x prior to 9.0.0.9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities related to Apache Struts, including the following:

  - Apache Commons BeanUtils, as distributed in lib/commons-beanutils-1.8.0.jar in Apache Struts 1.x through     1.3.10 and in other products requiring commons-beanutils through 1.9.2, does not suppress the class     property, which allows remote attackers to manipulate the ClassLoader and execute arbitrary code via the     class parameter, as demonstrated by the passing of this parameter to the getClass method of the ActionForm     object in Struts 1. (CVE-2014-0114)

  - ActionServlet.java in Apache Struts 1 1.x through 1.3.10 mishandles multithreaded access to an ActionForm     instance, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (unexpected     memory access) via a multipart request, a related issue to CVE-2015-0899. (CVE-2016-1181)

  - ActionServlet.java in Apache Struts 1 1.x through 1.3.10 does not properly restrict the Validator     configuration, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or cause a     denial of service via crafted input, a related issue to CVE-2015-0899. (CVE-2016-1182)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control installed on the remote host is missing a security patch. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists in the Bouncy Castle Java library due to     improper validation of a point within the elliptic     curve. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this to obtain private keys by using a series of     specially crafted elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH)     key exchanges, also known as an 'invalid curve attack.'     (CVE-2015-7940)

  - A flaw exists in the PathTools module for Perl in the     File::Spec::canonpath() function that is triggered as     strings are returned as untainted even when passing     tainted input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to pass unvalidated user input to sensitive     or insecure areas. (CVE-2015-8607)

  - An overflow condition exists in Perl in the MapPathA()     function due to improper validation of user-supplied     input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit     this to cause a denial of service condition or the     execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-8608)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     Apache Struts component due to improper handling of     multithreaded access to an ActionForm instance. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted multipart request, to execute     arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2016-1181)

  - A flaw exists in Perl that is triggered during the     handling of variables that appear twice in the     environment (envp), causing the last value to appear in     %ENV, while getenv would return the first. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause variables to be incorrectly propagated to     subprocesses, regardless of the protections offered by     taint checking. (CVE-2016-2381)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Apache     Commons FileUpload component due to improper handling of     boundaries in content-type headers when handling file     upload requests. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to cause processes linked against the     library to become unresponsive. (CVE-2016-3092)

  - A man-in-the-middle vulnerability exists in various     components, known as 'httpoxy', due to a failure to     properly resolve namespace conflicts in accordance with     RFC 3875 section 4.1.18. The HTTP_PROXY environment     variable is set based on untrusted user data in the     'Proxy' header of HTTP requests. The HTTP_PROXY     environment variable is used by some web client     libraries to specify a remote proxy server. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     crafted 'Proxy' header in an HTTP request, to redirect     an application's internal HTTP traffic to an arbitrary     proxy server where it may be observed or manipulated.
    (CVE-2016-5385, CVE-2016-5386, CVE-2016-5387,     CVE-2016-5388)

  - A carry propagating error exists in the OpenSSL     component in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring     implementation that may cause the BN_mod_exp() function     to produce incorrect results. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker with sufficient resources can exploit this to     obtain sensitive information regarding private keys.
    Moreover, the attacker would additionally need online     access to an unpatched system using the target private     key in a scenario with persistent DH parameters and a     private key that is shared between multiple clients. For     example, this can occur by default in OpenSSL DHE based     SSL/TLS cipher suites. (CVE-2017-3732)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the UI Framework component    that allows authenticated, remote attacker to have an    impact on integrity. (CVE-2017-10091)

The version of Oracle WebLogic Server installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     Apache Struts component due to improper handling of     multithreaded access to an ActionForm instance. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a     specially crafted multipart request, to execute     arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2016-1181)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the Web Services     subcomponent that allows an unauthenticated, remote     attacker to modify or delete arbitrary data accessible     to the server. (CVE-2017-3506)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Web     Container subcomponent due to improper handling of     reflected PartItem File requests. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially     crafted request, to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-3531)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     Apache Struts component in the Jakarta Multipart parser     due to improper handling of the Content-Type,     Content-Disposition, and Content-Length headers.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this,     via a specially crafted header value in the HTTP     request, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5638)
