Description

The remote Debian 11 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5312 advisory.

- Those using Jettison to parse untrusted XML or JSON data may be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks (DOS). If the parser is running on user supplied input, an attacker may supply content that causes the parser to crash by stackoverflow. This effect may support a denial of service attack. (CVE-2022-40149)

- Those using Jettison to parse untrusted XML or JSON data may be vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks (DOS). If the parser is running on user supplied input, an attacker may supply content that causes the parser to crash by Out of memory. This effect may support a denial of service attack. (CVE-2022-40150)

- A stack overflow in Jettison before v1.5.2 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via crafted JSON data. (CVE-2022-45685)

- Jettison before v1.5.2 was discovered to contain a stack overflow via the map parameter. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted string. (CVE-2022-45693)

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

Solution

Upgrade the libjettison-java packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in version 1.5.3-1~deb11u1.
