Summary

Security Bulletin: IBM Rational Build Forge 8.0.0.24 addresses multiple vulnerabilities by updating Apache Tomcat Server

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2023-28708
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the missing of secure attribute in some configurations for JSESSIONID Cookie when using the RemoteIpFilter. By sniffing the network traffic, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain session cookie information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/250740 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2022-42252
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by the failure to reject a request containing an invalid Content-Length header when configured to ignore invalid HTTP headers via setting rejectIllegalHeader to false. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 4.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/239171 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2023-28709
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an incomplete fix for CVE-2023-24998 related to the failure to limit the number of request parts to be processed in the file upload function. By sending a specially crafted request using query string parameters, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/255893 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2022-34305
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the Form authentication example in the examples web application to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim’s Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim’s cookie-based authentication credentials.
CVSS Base score: 6.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/229596 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2022-45143
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by not escape the type, message or description values in the JsonErrorReportValve function. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to supply values that invalidated or manipulated the JSON output.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/243565 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2023-41080
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to conduct phishing attacks, caused by an open redirect vulnerability in the FORM authentication feature. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially crafted URL to redirect a victim to arbitrary Web sites.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/264483 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2021-43980
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a long standing concurrency flaw in the simplified implementation of blocking reads and writes. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain Http11Processor instance information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/237447 for the current score.

CVEID:CVE-2023-24998
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Commons FileUpload and Tomcat are vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by not limit the number of request parts to be processed in the file upload function. By sending a specially-crafted request with series of uploads, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
