Atlassian Jira < 7.13.16 / 8.x < 8.5.7 / 8.6.x < 8.10.2 / 8.11.x < 8.11.1 DoS (JRASERVER-71388)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 140768

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a web application that is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Atlassian Jira hosted on the remote web server is prior to 7.3.16, or is 8.x < 8.5.7, 8.6.x < 8.10.2, or 8.11.x < 8.11.0. It is, therefore, affected by a regex-based denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in JQL version searching. A remote, authenticated attacker can exploit this to impact the application's availability.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Atlassian Jira version 7.13.16, 8.5.7, 8.10.2, 8.11.1 or later
