The version of Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities in Enterprise Manager Base Platform component:

  - An unspecified vulnerability in the subcomponent Networking     (jQuery) of Enterprise Manager Ops Center. Supported versions     that are affected are 12.2.2 and 12.3.3. An easy to exploit     vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated attacker with     network access via HTTP to compromise Enterprise Manager Ops     Center. A successful attacks requires human interaction and     can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access     to some of Enterprise Manager Ops Center accessible data.
    (CVE-2015-9251)

  - An unspecified vulnerability in the subcomponent Networking     (OpenSSL) of the Enterprise Manager Ops Center. Supported     versions that are affected are 12.2.2 and 12.3.3. An easy     to exploit vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated     attacker with network access via HTTPS to compromise     Enterprise Manager Ops Center. A successful attack of this     vulnerability could result in unauthorized ability to cause     a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of     Enterprise Manager Ops Center. (CVE-2018-0732)

  - An unspecified vulnerability in the subcomponent Networking     (cURL) of Enterprise Manager Ops Center. Supported versions     that are affected are 12.2.2 and 12.3.3. Difficult to exploit     vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network     access via HTTP to compromise Enterprise Manager Ops Center.
    A successful attack requires human interaction from a person     other than the attacker and can result in takeover of     Enterprise Manager Ops Center. (CVE-2018-1000300)

The version of Oracle HTTP Server installed on the remote host is affected by vulnerabilities as noted in the October 2018 CPU advisory:

  - A vulnerability exists in the Oracle HTTP Server component     of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: Web Listener     (curl)). The affected version is 12.2.1.3. This is a     difficult to exploit vulnerability that allows an     unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to     compromise Oracle HTTP Server. A successful attacks     requires human interaction from a person other than the     attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can     result in takeover of Oracle HTTP Server. (CVE-2018-1000300)     
  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in curl due     to Buffer Over-read. Affected versions are from curl version     7.20.0 to curl 7.59.0. The vulnerable component can be     tricked into reading data beyond the end of the heap.
    An unauthenticated attacked with network access can exploit     this issue to cause the application to stop responding.
    (CVE-2018-1000301)

  - A buffer over-read vulnerability exists in curl that could lead to     information leakage. Affected versions are from  7.20.0 to     curl 7.58.0. A vulnerability in the RTSP+RTP handling code     could allows an attacker to cause a denial of service or     information leakage. An unauthenticated attacked with     network access can exploit this vulnerability to cause     a denial of service (DoS) or to leak information     from the vulnerable application.
    (CVE-2018-1000122)

The version of Oracle Secure Global Desktop installed on the remote host is 5.3 / 5.4 and is missing a security patch from the July 2018 Critical Patch Update (CPU). It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - curl version curl 7.54.1 to and including curl 7.59.0 contains a  Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in FTP connection closing  down functionality which can lead to DoS and RCE conditions. This  vulnerability appears to have been fixed in curl < 7.54.1 and  curl >= 7.60.0. (CVE-2018-1000300)

 - Security constraints defined by annotations of Servlets in Apache  Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.4, 8.5.0 to 8.5.27, 8.0.0.RC1 to 8.0.49 and  7.0.0 to 7.0.84 were only applied once a Servlet had been loaded.  It was possible - depending on the order Servlets were loaded - for  some security constraints not to be applied. This could have exposed  resources to unauthorized users. (CVE-2018-1305)

 - ASN.1 types with a recursive definition could exceed the stack  given malicious input with excessive recursion. This could result  in a Denial Of Service attack. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.0h (Affected  1.1.0-1.1.0g). Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2o (Affected 1.0.2b-1.0.2n).
 (CVE-2018-0739)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201806-05 (cURL: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in cURL. Please review the       CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    Remote attackers could cause a Denial of Service condition, obtain       sensitive information, or have other unspecified impacts.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Curl version curl 7.54.1 to and including curl 7.59.0 contains a CWE-122: Heap-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in denial of service and more that can result in curl might overflow a heap based memory buffer when closing down an FTP connection with very long server command replies.(CVE-2018-1000300)

Curl version curl 7.20.0 to and including curl 7.59.0 contains a CWE-126: Buffer Over-read vulnerability in denial of service that can result in curl can be tricked into reading data beyond the end of a heap based buffer used to store downloaded RTSP content.(CVE-2018-1000301)

Dario Weisser discovered that curl incorrectly handled long FTP server command replies. If a user or automated system were tricked into connecting to a malicious FTP server, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 17.10 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-1000300)

Max Dymond discovered that curl incorrectly handled certain RTSP responses. If a user or automated system were tricked into connecting to a malicious server, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause curl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2018-1000301).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

cURL security problems :

CVE-2018-1000300: FTP shutdown response buffer overflow

curl might overflow a heap based memory buffer when closing down an FTP connection with very long server command replies.

When doing FTP transfers, curl keeps a spare 'closure handle' around internally that will be used when an FTP connection gets shut down since the original curl easy handle is then already removed.

FTP server response data that gets cached from the original transfer might then be larger than the default buffer size (16 KB) allocated in the 'closure handle', which can lead to a buffer overwrite. The contents and size of that overwrite is controllable by the server.

This situation was detected by an assert() in the code, but that was of course only preventing bad stuff in debug builds. This bug is very unlikely to trigger with non-malicious servers.

We are not aware of any exploit of this flaw.

CVE-2018-1000301: RTSP bad headers buffer over-read

curl can be tricked into reading data beyond the end of a heap based buffer used to store downloaded content.

When servers send RTSP responses back to curl, the data starts out with a set of headers. curl parses that data to separate it into a number of headers to deal with those appropriately and to find the end of the headers that signal the start of the 'body' part.

The function that splits up the response into headers is called Curl_http_readwrite_headers() and in situations where it can't find a single header in the buffer, it might end up leaving a pointer pointing into the buffer instead of to the start of the buffer which then later on may lead to an out of buffer read when code assumes that pointer points to a full buffer size worth of memory to use.

This could potentially lead to information leakage but most likely a crash/denial of service for applications if a server triggers this flaw.

We are not aware of any exploit of this flaw.

New curl packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and
-current to fix security issues.
