In spring security versions prior to 5.4.11+, 5.5.7+ , 5.6.4+ and older unsupported versions, RegexRequestMatcher can easily be misconfigured to be bypassed on some servlet containers. Applications using RegexRequestMatcher with `.` in the regular expression are possibly vulnerable to an authorization bypass.

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

  - In spring security versions prior to 5.4.11+, 5.5.7+ , 5.6.4+ and older unsupported versions,     RegexRequestMatcher can easily be misconfigured to be bypassed on some servlet containers.

The remote host contains a Spring Security version that is prior to 5.5.7 or 5.6.x prior to 5.6.4. It is, therefore, affected by an authorization bypass vulnerability.

  - In Spring Security versions 5.5.6 and 5.6.3 and older unsupported versions, RegexRequestMatcher can easily   be misconfigured to be bypassed on some servlet containers. Applications using RegexRequestMatcher with `.`   in the regular expression are possibly vulnerable to an authorization bypass. (CVE-2022-22978)

    (CVE-2022-42252)

  - Vulnerability in the MySQL Enterprise Monitor product of Oracle MySQL (component: Monitoring: General     (Spring Framework)). Supported versions that are affected are 8.0.32 and prior. Easily exploitable     vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise     MySQL Enterprise Monitor. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to     cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of MySQL Enterprise Monitor. (CVE-2022-22971)
