CVSS v3.1 |
| Apache Log4j Core's XmlLayout https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html#XmlLayout , in versions up to and including 2.25.3, fails to sanitize characters forbidden by the XML 1.0 specification https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#charsets producing invalid XML output whenever a log message or MDC value contains such characters.
The impact depends on the StAX implementation in use:
* JRE built-in StAX: Forbidden characters are silently written to the output, producing malformed XML. Conforming parsers must reject such documents with a fatal error, which may cause downstream log-processing systems to drop the affected records.
* Alternative StAX implementations (e.g., Woodstox https://github.com/FasterXML/woodstox , a transitive dependency of the Jackson XML Dataformat module): An exception is thrown during the logging call, and the log event is never delivered to its intended appender, only to Log4j's internal status logger.
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Log4j Core 2.25.4, which corrects this issue by sanitizing forbidden characters before XML output. |
| Solaris 9, with Solaris Auditing enabled and certain patches for sshd installed, can generate audit records with an audit-ID of 0 even when the user logging into ssh is not root, which makes it easier for attackers to avoid detection and can make it more difficult to conduct forensics activities. |
| The default configuration of Sun ONE/iPlanet Web Server 4.1 SP1 through SP12 and 6.0 SP1 through SP5 responds to the HTTP TRACE request, which can allow remote attackers to steal information using cross-site tracing (XST) attacks in applications that are vulnerable to cross-site scripting. |
| Chipmunk Blogger Script allows remote attackers to gain administrator privileges via a direct request to admin/reguser.php. NOTE: this is only a vulnerability when the administrator does not properly follow installation directions. |
| Cisco Content Switching Modules (CSM) 4.2 before 4.2.7, and Cisco Content Switching Module with SSL (CSM-S) 2.1 before 2.1.6, when service termination is enabled, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reboot) via unspecified vectors related to high network utilization, aka CSCsh57876. |
| The default configuration of Centre for Speech Technology Research (CSTR) Festival 1.95 beta (aka 2.0 beta) on Gentoo Linux, SUSE Linux, and possibly other distributions, is run locally with elevated privileges without requiring authentication, which allows local and remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the local daemon on port 1314, a different vulnerability than CVE-2001-0956. NOTE: this issue is local in some environments, but remote on others. |
| The default configuration of Uber Uploader (UU) 5.3.6 and earlier does not block uploads of (1) .html, (2) .asp, and other possibly dangerous extensions, which allows remote attackers to use these extensions in uploads via (a) uu_file_upload.php, related to uu_file_upload.js and (b) uber_uploader_file.php, related to uber_uploader_file.js, a different issue than CVE-2007-0123. NOTE: the vendor disputes the severity of the issue, noting that it is the administrator's responsibility to "add file extensions that you may or may not want uploaded." |
| The installation process for the File Transfer servlet in the System Management/Repository component in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1.x before 6.1.0.19 does not enable the secure version, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors. |
| The TCP implementation in (1) Linux, (2) platforms based on BSD Unix, (3) Microsoft Windows, (4) Cisco products, and probably other operating systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection queue exhaustion) via multiple vectors that manipulate information in the TCP state table, as demonstrated by sockstress. |
| Quick Look Apple Mac OS X 10.5.1, when previewing an HTML file, does not prevent plug-ins from making network requests, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information. |
| includes/bootstrap.inc in Drupal 5.x before 5.12 and 6.x before 6.6, when the server is configured for "IP-based virtual hosts," allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary files via the HTTP Host header. |
| IBM DB2 8 before FP17, 9.1 before FP5, and 9.5 before FP2 provides an INSTALL_JAR (aka sqlj.install_jar) procedure, which allows remote authenticated users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via unspecified calls. |
| The TCP implementation in Sun Solaris 8, 9, and 10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and new connection timeouts) via a TCP SYN flood attack. |
| Secure Static Versioning in Sun Java JDK and JRE 6 Update 6 and earlier, and 5.0 Update 6 through 15, does not properly prevent execution of applets on older JRE releases, which might allow remote attackers to exploit vulnerabilities in these older releases. |
| Microsoft Windows does not properly enforce the Autorun and NoDriveTypeAutoRun registry values, which allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code by (1) inserting CD-ROM media, (2) inserting DVD media, (3) connecting a USB device, and (4) connecting a Firewire device; (5) allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by mapping a network drive; and allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code by clicking on (6) an icon under My Computer\Devices with Removable Storage and (7) an option in an AutoPlay dialog, related to the Autorun.inf file. NOTE: vectors 1 and 3 on Vista are already covered by CVE-2008-0951. |
| The default SNMP configuration on ZyXEL Prestige routers, including P-660 and P-661 models with firmware 3.40(AGD.2) through 3.40(AHQ.3), has a Trusted Host value of 0.0.0.0, which allows remote attackers to send SNMP requests from any source IP address. |
| DenyHosts 2.6 processes OpenSSH sshd "not listed in AllowUsers" log messages with an incorrect regular expression that does not match an IP address, which might allow remote attackers to avoid detection and blocking when making invalid login attempts with a username not present in AllowUsers, as demonstrated by the root username, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-4323. |
| Unspecified vulnerability in Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) 5.x before 5.1(8)E2 and 6.x before 6.0(5)E2, when inline mode and jumbo Ethernet support are enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic), and possibly bypass intended restrictions on network traffic, via a "specific series of jumbo Ethernet frames." |
| The default configuration of VMware Workstation 6.0.2, VMware Player 2.0.x before 2.0.3, and VMware ACE 2.0.x before 2.0.1 makes the console of the guest OS accessible through anonymous VIX API calls, which has unknown impact and attack vectors. |
| The default configuration of Microsoft Windows uses the Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol (WPAD) without static WPAD entries, which might allow remote attackers to intercept web traffic by registering a proxy server using WINS or DNS, then responding to WPAD requests, as demonstrated using Internet Explorer. NOTE: it could be argued that if an attacker already has control over WINS/DNS, then web traffic could already be intercepted by modifying WINS or DNS records, so this would not cross privilege boundaries and would not be a vulnerability. It has also been reported that DHCP is an alternate attack vector. |
