When reading a specially crafted TAR archive an Apache Ant build can be made to allocate large amounts of memory that finally leads to an out of memory error, even for small inputs. This can be used to disrupt builds using Apache Ant. Apache Ant prior to 1.9.16 and 1.10.11 were affected.

The version of Oracle Business Process Management Suite installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as referenced in the July 2023 CPU advisory, including:

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Business Process Management Suite product of Oracle Fusion Middleware     (component: Runtime Engine (Apache Xerces2 Java)). The supported version that is affected is     12.2.1.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via     HTTP to compromise Oracle Business Process Management Suite. Successful attacks require human interaction     from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in     unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle Business     Process Management Suite. (CVE-2022-23437)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Business Process Management Suite product of Oracle Fusion Middleware     (component: BPM Studio (jQueryUI)). The supported version that is affected is 12.2.1.4.0. Easily     exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise     Oracle Business Process Management Suite. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person     other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Oracle Business Process Management Suite,     attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this     vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle Business     Process Management Suite accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle     Business Process Management Suite accessible data. (CVE-2021-41184)

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Business Process Management Suite product of Oracle Fusion Middleware     (component: Installer (Apache Ant)). The supported version that is affected is 12.2.1.4.0. Easily     exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle     Business Process Management Suite executes to compromise Oracle Business Process Management Suite.
    Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of     this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash     (complete DOS) of Oracle Business Process Management Suite. (CVE-2021-36374)

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

According to the versions of the ant package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - When reading a specially crafted TAR archive an Apache Ant build can be made to allocate large amounts of     memory that finally leads to an out of memory error, even for small inputs. This can be used to disrupt     builds using Apache Ant. Apache Ant prior to 1.9.16 and 1.10.11 were affected. (CVE-2021-36373)

  - When reading a specially crafted ZIP archive, or a derived formats, an Apache Ant build can be made to     allocate large amounts of memory that leads to an out of memory error, even for small inputs. This can be     used to disrupt builds using Apache Ant. Commonly used derived formats from ZIP archives are for instance     JAR files and many office files. Apache Ant prior to 1.9.16 and 1.10.11 were affected. (CVE-2021-36374)

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