Security Bulletin: Multiple Apache Tomcat Vulnerabilities Affect IBM Control Center

Summary

Multiple Apache Tomcat vulnerabilities affect IBM Control Center. See vulnerability details for descriptions.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2020-9484
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Tomcat could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an unsafe deserialization when the server is configured to use the PersistenceManager with a FileStore. By sending specially-crafted input, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 8.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/182231 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2020-11996
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to a denial of service. By sending a specially crafted sequence of HTTP/2 requests, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to trigger high CPU usage for several seconds.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/184012 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2020-13934
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by not releasing the HTTP/1.1 processor after the upgrade to HTTP/2 in an h2c direct connection. By sending specially-crafted requests, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause OutOfMemoryException resulting in a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/185239 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2020-13935
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Tomcat is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper validation of the payload length in a WebSocket frame. By sending multiple requests with invalid payload lengths, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to enter into an infinite loop.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/185227 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2020-13943
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw when HTTP/2 client exceeded the agreed maximum number of concurrent streams for a connection. By sending a specially-crafted HTTP request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to see the responses for unexpected resources, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/189643 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2020-17527
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an issue when the HTTP request header value can be reused from the previous stream received on an HTTP/2 connection. By sending a specially-crafted HTTP request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/192612 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2021-24122
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache Tomcat could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a flaw when serving resources from a network location using the NTFS file system. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to view the source code for JSPs in some configurations, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 8.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/194894 for the current score.
