Read Time:30 Second

It was discovered that Tomcat incorrectly performed input verification.
A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to intercept sensitive
information. (CVE-2020-13943, CVE-2020-17527, CVE-2021-25122, CVE-2021-30640)

It was discovered that Tomcat did not properly deserialize untrusted data.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2020-9484, CVE-2021-33037)

It was discovered that Tomcat did not properly validate the input length. An
attacker could possibly use this to trigger an infinite loop, resulting in a
denial of service. (CVE-2020-9494, CVE-2021-25329, CVE-2021-41079)

SpringShell (Spring4Shell) : New Unpatched RCE Vulnerability in Spring Core Framework

Read Time:2 Minute, 23 Second

FortiGuard Labs is aware that an alleged Proof-of-Concept (POC) code for a new Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in Spring Core, part of the popular web open-source framework for Java called “Spring,” was made available to the public (the POC was later removed). Dubbed SpringShell (Spring4Shell), CVE-2022-22965 has been assigned to the vulnerability and an emergency fix was released on March 31st, 2022.Why is this Significant?This is significant because Spring Core is part of Spring Framework, one of the most popular JAVA frameworks used in the field and is very popular for enterprise applications. As such, wide exploitation of the vulnerability can impact users globally if the security update is not applied.What is the Vulnerability Detail?An insecure de-serialization exists in Spring Core Framework. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user supplied inputs and could lead to remote code execution.The official advisory reads “A Spring MVC or Spring WebFlux application running on JDK 9+ may be vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE) via data binding. The specific exploit requires the application to run on Tomcat as a WAR deployment. If the application is deployed as a Spring Boot executable jar, i.e. the default, it is not vulnerable to the exploit. However, the nature of the vulnerability is more general, and there may be other ways to exploit it”.Has the Vendor Released an Advisory?An advisory has been published by both Spring and VMware, who supports Spring. See the Appendix for a link to “Spring Framework RCE, Early Announcement” and “CVE-2022-22965: Spring Framework RCE via Data Binding on JDK 9+”.What Versions of Spring Core are Vulnerable?The official advisory states that the following prerequisites for the exploit:JDK 9 or higherApache Tomcat as the Servlet containerPackaged as a traditional WAR (in contrast to a Spring Boot executable jar)spring-webmvc or spring-webflux dependencySpring Framework versions 5.3.0 to 5.3.17, 5.2.0 to 5.2.19, and older versionsHas a CVE been Assigned to the Vulnerability?CVE-2022-22965 has been assigned to the vulnerability.There is a lot of online chatter about SpringShell being related to CVE-2022-22963 or CVE-2022-27772, but that is not the case.CVE-2022-22963 is a vulnerability in Spring Cloud and was patched on March 29, 2022.CVE-2022-27772 is a vulnerability in Spring Boot that allows temporary directory hijacking.Has the Vendor Released a Patch?Yes, the fix was released on March 31, 2022 for the following versions of Spring Framework:5.3.185.2.20What is the Status of Coverage?FortiGuard Labs provides the following AV coverage based on available SpringShell POCs:Python/SpingShell.A!exploitFortiGuard Labs is currently investigating for IPS coverage. This Threat Signal will be updated when coverage becomes available.

USN-5358-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Read Time:27 Second

It was discovered that the network traffic control implementation in the
Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1055)

It was discovered that the IPsec implementation in the Linux kernel did not
properly allocate enough memory when performing ESP transformations,
leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. A local attacker could use this to
cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2022-27666)
