MySQL Enterprise Monitor 4.x < 4.0.10 / 8.x < 8.0.15 DoS (Jul 2019 CPU)

high Nessus Plugin ID 138904

Language:

Synopsis

MySQL Enterprise Monitor running on the remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability

Description

A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in MySQL Enterprise Monitor due the use of a vulnerable Spring Framework version. Spring Framework, version 5.1, versions 5.0.x prior to 5.0.10, versions 4.3.x prior to 4.3.20, and older unsupported versions on the 4.2.x branch provide 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, to cause a DoS.

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

Solution

Upgrade to MySQL Enterprise Monitor version 4.0.10, 8.0.15 or later as referenced in the Oracle security advisory.
