Spring Framework, version 5.1, versions 5.0.x prior to 5.0.10, versions 4.3.x prior to 4.3.20, and older unsupported versions on the 4.2.x branch provide support for range requests when serving static resources through the ResourceHttpRequestHandler, or starting in 5.0 when an annotated controller returns an org.springframework.core.io.Resource. A malicious user (or attacker) can add a range header with a high number of ranges, or with wide ranges that overlap, or both, for a denial of service attack. This vulnerability affects applications that depend on either spring-webmvc or spring-webflux. Such applications must also have a registration for serving static resources (e.g. JS, CSS, images, and others), or have an annotated controller that returns an org.springframework.core.io.Resource. Spring Boot applications that depend on spring-boot-starter-web or spring-boot-starter-webflux are ready to serve static resources out of the box and are therefore vulnerable.

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

  - Spring Framework, version 5.1, versions 5.0.x prior to 5.0.10, versions 4.3.x prior to 4.3.20, and older     unsupported versions on the 4.2.x branch provide support for range requests when serving static resources     through the ResourceHttpRequestHandler, or starting in 5.0 when an annotated controller returns an     org.springframework.core.io.Resource. A malicious user (or attacker) can add a range header with a high     number of ranges, or with wide ranges that overlap, or both, for a denial of service attack.

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

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - Spring Framework, version 5.1, versions 5.0.x prior to 5.0.10, versions 4.3.x prior to 4.3.20, and older
    unsupported versions on the 4.2.x branch provide support for range requests when serving static resources
    through the ResourceHttpRequestHandler, or starting in 5.0 when an annotated controller returns an
    org.springframework.core.io.Resource. A malicious user (or attacker) can add a range header with a high
    number of ranges, or with wide ranges that overlap, or both, for a denial of service attack. This
    vulnerability affects applications that depend on either spring-webmvc or spring-webflux. Such
    applications must also have a registration for serving static resources (e.g. JS, CSS, images, and
    others), or have an annotated controller that returns an org.springframework.core.io.Resource. Spring Boot
    applications that depend on spring-boot-starter-web or spring-boot-starter-webflux are ready to serve
    static resources out of the box and are therefore vulnerable. (CVE-2018-15756)

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in libspring-java, a modular Java/J2EE application framework. An attacker may execute code, perform XST attack, issue unauthorized cross-domain requests or cause a DoS (denial of service) in specific configurations.

CVE-2018-1270

Spring Framework allows applications to expose STOMP over WebSocket endpoints with a simple, in-memory STOMP broker through the spring-messaging module. A malicious user (or attacker) can craft a message to the broker that can lead to a remote code execution attack.

CVE-2018-11039

Spring Framework allows web applications to change the HTTP request method to any HTTP method (including TRACE) using the HiddenHttpMethodFilter in Spring MVC. If an application has a pre-existing XSS vulnerability, a malicious user (or attacker) can use this filter to escalate to an XST (Cross Site Tracing) attack.

CVE-2018-11040

Spring Framework allows web applications to enable cross-domain requests via JSONP (JSON with Padding) through AbstractJsonpResponseBodyAdvice for REST controllers and MappingJackson2JsonView for browser requests. Both are not enabled by default in Spring Framework nor Spring Boot, however, when MappingJackson2JsonView is configured in an application, JSONP support is automatically ready to use through the 'jsonp' and 'callback' JSONP parameters, enabling cross-domain requests.

CVE-2018-15756

Spring Framework provides support for range requests when serving static resources through the ResourceHttpRequestHandler, or starting in 5.0 when an annotated controller returns an org.springframework.core.io.Resource. A malicious user (or attacker) can add a range header with a high number of ranges, or with wide ranges that overlap, or both, for a denial of service attack.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 4.3.5-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libspring-java packages.

A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in MySQL Enterprise Monitor due the use of a vulnerable Spring Framework version. Spring Framework, version 5.1, versions 5.0.x prior to 5.0.10, versions 4.3.x prior to 4.3.20, and older unsupported versions on the 4.2.x branch provide support for range requests when serving static resources through the ResourceHttpRequestHandler, or starting in 5.0 when an annotated controller returns an org.springframework.core.io.Resource. A malicious user (or attacker) can add a range header with a high number of ranges, or with wide ranges that overlap, or both, to cause a DoS. 

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

The remote host is missing the April 2020 Critical Patch Update for Oracle Identity Manager Connector. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

 - Vulnerability in the Identity Manager Connector product of Oracle Fusion Middleware  (component: General (Apache ActiveMQ)). The supported version that is affected is 9.0. Easily exploitable  vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Identity Manager Connector.  Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable  crash (complete DOS) of Identity Manager Connector. (CVE-2019-0222)

 - Vulnerability in the Identity Manager Connector product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: LDAP Gateway  (Spring Framework)). The supported version that is affected is 9.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows  unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Identity Manager Connector. Successful attacks of  this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of  Identity Manager Connector. (CVE-2018-15756)

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

Oracle WebCenter Sites component of Oracle Fusion Middleware is vulnerable to multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A deserialization vulnerability exists in the Oracle WebCenter Sites component of Oracle Fusion Middleware     (subcomponent: Advanced UI (Apache Groovy)) due to a lack of isolation of object deserialization code. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via HTTP, to execute arbitrary code on the target host.
    (CVE-2016-6814)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the Oracle WebCenter Sites component of Oracle Fusion     Middleware (subcomponent: Advanced UI (Apache Commons FileUpload)) due to an unspecified reason. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands.
    (CVE-2016-1000031)

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the Oracle WebCenter Sites component of Oracle Fusion     Middleware (subcomponent: Third Party Tools (Apache Batik)) due to an issue with deserialization. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via HTTP, to cause the application to stop     functioning properly. (CVE-2018-8013)

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the Oracle WebCenter Sites component of Oracle Fusion     Middleware (subcomponent: Advanced UI (Spring Framework)) due to an issue handling range requests with     a high number of ranges, wide ranges that overlap, or both. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this issue, via HTTP, to cause the application to stop responding. (CVE-2018-15765)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its self-reported version number, the Oracle GoldenGate for Big Data application located on the remote host is 12.3.1.1.x less than 12.3.1.1.6 or 12.3.2.1.x less than 12.3.2.1.5. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. This vulnerability is due to its use of Spring Framework, which provides support for range requests when serving static resources through the ResourceHttpRequestHandler or when an annotated controller returns an org.springframework.core.io.Resource. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue by adding a range header with a high number of ranges, or with wide ranges that overlap, or both to cause the application to stop responding.

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