high Nessus Plugin ID 148925

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Oracle WebCenter Portal installed on the remote host is missing a security patch from the January 2021 Critical Patch Update (CPU). It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

 - Vulnerability in the Oracle WebCenter Portal product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Security Framework (Apache Commons Compress)). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.3.0 and 12.2.1.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebCenter Portal. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle WebCenter Portal (CVE-2019-12402).

 - Vulnerability in the Oracle WebCenter Portal product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Security Framework (Netty)). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.3.0 and 12.2.1.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle WebCenter Portal. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Oracle WebCenter Portal (CVE-2020-11612).

- Vulnerability in the Oracle WebCenter Portal product of Oracle Fusion Middleware (component: Security Framework (Apache Tika)). Supported versions that are affected are 12.2.1.3.0 and 12.2.1.4.0. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle WebCenter Portal executes to compromise Oracle WebCenter Portal. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle WebCenter Portal (CVE-2020-9489).

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

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch according to the April 2021 Oracle Critical Patch Update advisory.
