Oracle WebCenter Sites Apache Xalan-Java Library Security Bypass (January 2016 CPU)

high Nessus Plugin ID 88044

Language:

Synopsis

The website content management system installed on the remote host is affected by a security bypass vulnerability.

Description

The version Oracle WebCenter Sites installed on the remote host is missing a security patch from the January 2016 Critical Patch Update (CPU). It is, therefore, affected by a security bypass vulnerability in the Apache Xalan-Java library due to a failure to properly restrict access to certain properties when FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING is enabled. A remote attacker can exploit this to bypass restrictions and load arbitrary classes or access external resources.

Solution

Apply the appropriate patch according to the January 2016 Oracle Critical Patch Update advisory.
