high Nessus Plugin ID 174510

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.1.0.0 versions of Coherence installed on the remote host are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the April 2023 CPU advisory.

- Vulnerability in the Netty component of Oracle Coherence 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.1.0.0. Netty component is an event-driven asynchronous network application framework. In versions prior to 4.1.86.Final, a StackOverflowError can be raised when parsing a malformed crafted message due to an infinite recursion.
(CVE-2022-41881)

- Vulnerability in the jackson-databind component of Oracle Coherence 12.2.1.4.0 and 14.1.1.0.0. In FasterXML jackson-databind before 2.14.0-rc1, resource exhaustion can occur because of a lack of a check in primitive value deserializers to avoid deep wrapper array nesting, when the UNWRAP_SINGLE_VALUE_ARRAYS feature is enabled. (CVE-2022-42003)

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

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch according to the April 2023 Oracle Critical Patch Update advisory.
