Oracle GoldenGate for Big Data 12.3.1.1.x < 12.3.1.1.6 / 12.3.2.1.x < 12.3.2.1.5 Spring Framework DoS (Oct 2019 CPU)

Synopsis

The Oracle GoldenGate for Big Data application on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

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.

Solution

Apply the appropriate patches according to the October 2019 Oracle Critical Patch Update advisory.
