Denial of Service (DoS)

  • Vulnerable module: com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core
  • Introduced through: com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind@2.14.1

Detailed paths

  • Introduced through: carbynestack/java-http-client@carbynestack/java-http-client#9a46a9c233abcd8007b272ec6a69a1263c51def6 › com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind@2.14.1 › com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core@2.14.1
    Remediation: Upgrade to com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind@2.15.0.

Overview

com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core is a Core Jackson abstractions, basic JSON streaming API implementation

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) due to missing input size validation when performing numeric type conversions. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by causing the application to deserialize data containing certain numeric types with large values, causing the application to exhaust all available resources.

Details

Denial of Service (DoS) describes a family of attacks, all aimed at making a system inaccessible to its intended and legitimate users.

Unlike other vulnerabilities, DoS attacks usually do not aim at breaching security. Rather, they are focused on making websites and services unavailable to genuine users resulting in downtime.

One popular Denial of Service vulnerability is DDoS (a Distributed Denial of Service), an attack that attempts to clog network pipes to the system by generating a large volume of traffic from many machines.

When it comes to open source libraries, DoS vulnerabilities allow attackers to trigger such a crash or crippling of the service by using a flaw either in the application code or from the use of open source libraries.

Two common types of DoS vulnerabilities:

  • High CPU/Memory Consumption- An attacker sending crafted requests that could cause the system to take a disproportionate amount of time to process. For example, commons-fileupload:commons-fileupload.

  • Crash - An attacker sending crafted requests that could cause the system to crash. For Example, npm ws package

Remediation

Upgrade com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core to version 2.15.0-rc1 or higher.

Stack-based Buffer Overflow

  • Vulnerable module: com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core
  • Introduced through: com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind@2.14.1

Detailed paths

  • Introduced through: carbynestack/java-http-client@carbynestack/java-http-client#9a46a9c233abcd8007b272ec6a69a1263c51def6 › com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind@2.14.1 › com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core@2.14.1
    Remediation: Upgrade to com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind@2.15.0.

Overview

com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core is a Core Jackson abstractions, basic JSON streaming API implementation

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Stack-based Buffer Overflow due to the parse process, which accepts an unlimited input file with deeply nested data. An attacker can cause a stack overflow and crash the application by providing input files with excessively deep nesting.

Remediation

Upgrade com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core to version 2.15.0-rc1 or higher.

Information Exposure

  • Vulnerable module: commons-codec:commons-codec
  • Introduced through: org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient@4.5.14

Detailed paths

  • Introduced through: carbynestack/java-http-client@carbynestack/java-http-client#9a46a9c233abcd8007b272ec6a69a1263c51def6 › org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient@4.5.14 › commons-codec:commons-codec@1.11

Overview

commons-codec:commons-codec is a package that contains simple encoder and decoders for various formats such as Base64 and Hexadecimal.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. When there is no byte array value that can be encoded into a string the Base32 implementation does not reject it, and instead decodes it into an arbitrary value which can be re-encoded again using the same implementation. This allows for information exposure exploits such as tunneling additional information via seemingly valid base 32 strings.

Remediation

Upgrade commons-codec:commons-codec to version 1.14 or higher.
