Oracle WebLogic Server Multiple Vulnerabilities (January 2019 CPU)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 121226

Synopsis

An application server installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Oracle WebLogic Server installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability in the SqlXmlUtil code in Apache Derby before 10.12.1.1, when a Java Security Manager is not in place, allows context-dependent attackers to read arbitrary files or cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via vectors involving XmlVTI and the XML datatype.
(CVE-2015-1832)

- Bouncy Castle BC 1.54 - 1.59, BC-FJA 1.0.0, BC-FJA 1.0.1 and earlier have a flaw in the Low-level interface to RSA key pair generator, specifically RSA Key Pairs generated in low-level API with added certainty may have less M-R tests than expected. This appears to be fixed in versions BC 1.60 beta 4 and later, BC-FJA 1.0.2 and later. (CVE-2018-1000180)

- Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server component of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: WLS Core Components). Supported versions that are affected are 10.3.6.0, 12.1.3.0 and 12.2.1.3.
Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all Oracle WebLogic Server accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle WebLogic Server accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle WebLogic Server. (CVE-2019-2452)

- Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server component of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: WLS Core Components). Supported versions that are affected are 10.3.6.0, 12.1.3.0 and 12.2.1.3.
Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via T3 to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server. While the vulnerability is in Oracle WebLogic Server, attacks may significantly impact additional products.
Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle WebLogic Server accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle WebLogic Server accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle WebLogic Server. (CVE-2019-2418)

- Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server component of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: WLS - Web Services). The supported version that is affected is 10.3.6.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server.
Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle WebLogic Server accessible data and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of Oracle WebLogic Server.
(CVE-2019-2395)

- Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server component of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: Application Container - JavaEE). The supported version that is affected is 12.2.1.3. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle WebLogic Server accessible data. (CVE-2019-2441)

- Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server component of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: WLS - Deployment). Supported versions that are affected are 10.3.6.0, 12.1.3.0 and 12.2.1.3.
Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low privileged attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Oracle WebLogic Server accessible data. (CVE-2019-2398)

- Legion of the Bouncy Castle Java Cryptography APIs versions prior to 1.60 are affected by CWE-470: Use of Externally-Controlled Input to Select Classes or Code ('Unsafe Reflection') flaw in XMSS/XMSS^MT private key deserialization routines. This allows an attacker to force execution of arbitrary code. Successful attack could be conducted via usage of a handcrafted private key object with references to unexpected classes which allow malicious commands execution. (CVE-2018-1000613)

- Vulnerability in the Oracle WebLogic Server component of Oracle Fusion Middleware (subcomponent: WLS - Web Services). Supported versions that are affected are 12.1.3.0 and 12.2.1.3. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebLogic Server.
Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle WebLogic Server accessible data. (CVE-2018-3246)

- In Apache Derby 10.3.1.4 to 10.14.1.0, a specially-crafted network packet can be used to request the Derby Network Server to boot a database whose location and contents are under the user's control. If the Derby Network Server is not running with a Java Security Manager policy file, the attack is successful.
If the server is using a policy file, the policy file must permit the database location to be read for the attack to work.
The default Derby Network Server policy file distributed with the affected releases includes a permissive policy as the default Network Server policy, which allows the attack to work.
(CVE-2018-1313)
