Spring Framework, versions 5.0.x prior to 5.0.7 and 4.3.x prior to 4.3.18 and older unsupported versions, allows web applications to enable cross-domain requests via JSONP (JSON with Padding) through AbstractJsonpResponseBodyAdvice for REST controllers and MappingJackson2JsonView for browser requests. Both are not enabled by default in Spring Framework nor Spring Boot, however, when MappingJackson2JsonView is configured in an application, JSONP support is automatically ready to use through the "jsonp" and "callback" JSONP parameters, enabling cross-domain requests.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in libspring-java, a modular Java/J2EE application framework. An attacker may execute code, perform XST attack, issue unauthorized cross-domain requests or cause a DoS (denial of service) in specific configurations.

CVE-2018-1270

Spring Framework allows applications to expose STOMP over WebSocket endpoints with a simple, in-memory STOMP broker through the spring-messaging module. A malicious user (or attacker) can craft a message to the broker that can lead to a remote code execution attack.

CVE-2018-11039

Spring Framework allows web applications to change the HTTP request method to any HTTP method (including TRACE) using the HiddenHttpMethodFilter in Spring MVC. If an application has a pre-existing XSS vulnerability, a malicious user (or attacker) can use this filter to escalate to an XST (Cross Site Tracing) attack.

CVE-2018-11040

Spring Framework allows web applications to enable cross-domain requests via JSONP (JSON with Padding) through AbstractJsonpResponseBodyAdvice for REST controllers and MappingJackson2JsonView for browser requests. Both are not enabled by default in Spring Framework nor Spring Boot, however, when MappingJackson2JsonView is configured in an application, JSONP support is automatically ready to use through the 'jsonp' and 'callback' JSONP parameters, enabling cross-domain requests.

CVE-2018-15756

Spring Framework provides support for range requests when serving static resources through the ResourceHttpRequestHandler, or starting in 5.0 when an annotated controller returns an org.springframework.core.io.Resource. A malicious user (or attacker) can add a range header with a high number of ranges, or with wide ranges that overlap, or both, for a denial of service attack.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 4.3.5-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libspring-java packages.

The version of Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities in Enterprise Manager Base Platform component:

  - A deserialization vulnerability in Apache Commons     FileUpload allows for remote code execution.
    (CVE-2016-1000031)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in OpenSSL     due to the potential for a side-channel timing attack.
    An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to disclose     potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2018-0734)

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in Apache     HTTP Server 2.4.17 to 2.4.34, due to a design error. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue     by sending continuous, large SETTINGS frames to cause a     client to occupy a connection, server thread and CPU     time without any connection timeout coming to effect.
    This affects only HTTP/2 connections. A possible     mitigation is to not enable the h2 protocol.
    (CVE-2018-11763).

  - Networking component of Enterprise Manager Base Platform     (Spring Framework) is easily exploited and may allow an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to takeover the     Enterprise Manager Base Platform. (CVE-2018-1258)

  - Networking component of Enterprise Manager Base Platform (Spring Framework)   is easily exploited and may allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to takeover   the Enterprise Manager Base Platform.
  (CVE-2018-1258, CVE-2018-11039, CVE-2018-11040, CVE-2018-1257, CVE-2018-15756)

  - Agent Next Gen (IBM Java) vulnerability allows unauthenticated, remote attacker   unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Enterprise Manager   Base Platform accessible data. (CVE-2018-1656, CVE-2018-12539)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in OpenSSL due to the potential   for a side-channel timing attack. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit   this to disclose potentially sensitive information.   (CVE-2018-0734, CVE-2018-0735, CVE-2018-5407)
