d. vCenter and Update Manager, Oracle JRE 1.7 Update 55

   Oracle has documented the CVE identifiers that are addressed in    JRE 1.7.0 update 55 in the Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update    Advisory of April 2014. The References section provides a link to    this advisory.

The version of Oracle Enterprise Data Quality running on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw in Apache Commons BeanUtils allows a remote     attacker to execute arbitrary code by manipulating the     ClassLoader. (CVE-2014-0114)

  - A flaw in Apache Tomcat allows a remote attacker to     replace the XML parsers and thereby gain access to     sensitive information. (CVE-2014-0119)

Updated struts packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Network Satellite 5.4 and 5.5, and Red Hat Satellite 5.6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

Red Hat Satellite is a systems management tool for Linux-based infrastructures. It allows for provisioning, monitoring, and remote management of multiple Linux deployments with a single, centralized tool.

Apache Struts is a framework for building web applications with Java.

It was found that the Struts 1 ActionForm object allowed access to the 'class' parameter, which is directly mapped to the getClass() method.
A remote attacker could use this flaw to manipulate the ClassLoader used by an application server running Struts 1. This could lead to remote code execution under certain conditions. (CVE-2014-0114)

All Satellite users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. For this update to take effect, the tomcat6 service must be restarted ('service tomcat6 restart').

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:02056-1 advisory.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

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

The remote web application appears to use Struts, a web application framework. The version of Struts in use contains a flaw that allows the manipulation of the ClassLoader via the 'class' parameter of an ActionForm object that results a denial of service.

Note that this vulnerability may be exploited to execute arbitrary remote code in certain application servers with specific configurations; however, Nessus has not tested for this issue.

Additionally, note that this plugin will only report the first vulnerable instance of a Struts application.

Updated struts packages fix security vulnerability :

It was found that the Struts 1 ActionForm object allowed access to the 'class' parameter, which is directly mapped to the getClass() method.
A remote attacker could use this flaw to manipulate the ClassLoader used by an application server running Struts 1. This could lead to remote code execution under certain conditions (CVE-2014-0114).

The remote Oracle Adaptive Access Manager installation is missing a vendor supplied update that fixes a flaw in Apache Struts which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

The remote host has a version of Oracle WebLogic Server installed that is affected by multiple unspecified vulnerabilities affecting the following components :

  - WebLogic Tuxedo Connector
  - WLS-Console (Struts based)
  - WLS-Console

The version of Apache ActiveMQ running on the remote host is 5.x prior to 5.15.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

The version of IBM WebSphere Portal installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     Apache Struts ClassLoader. A remote attacker can exploit     this issue by manipulating the 'class' parameter of an     ActionForm object to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2014-0114)

  - An unspecified information disclosure vulnerability     exists which allows a remote attacker to gain access to     sensitive information. (CVE-2014-3083)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists which     allows a remote, authenticated attacker to gain access     to sensitive information, such as user credentials,     through certain HTML pages. (CVE-2014-4761)

  - An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability exists     due to improper validation of user input. This can be     exploited by a remote, authenticated attacker to execute     code in the security context of a user's browser.
    (CVE-2014-4762)

  - An unrestricted file upload vulnerability exists which     allows a remote, authenticated attacker to upload large     files, potentially resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2014-4792)

  - An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability exists     that allows remote, authenticated attackers to execute     arbitrary code via a specially crafted URL.
    (CVE-2014-6093)

It was discovered that missing access checks in the Struts ActionForm object could result in the execution of arbitrary code. This update fixes this problem.

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