Summary

IBM WebSphere Application Server 7.x before 7.0.0.31, 8.0.x before 8.0.0.8, and 8.5.x before 8.5.5.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a crafted request to a web services endpoint.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Server Side Include (SSI) Injection
    An attacker can use Server Side Include (SSI) Injection to send code to a web application that then gets executed by the web server. Doing so enables the attacker to achieve similar results to Cross Site Scripting, viz., arbitrary code execution and information disclosure, albeit on a more limited scale, since the SSI directives are nowhere near as powerful as a full-fledged scripting language. Nonetheless, the attacker can conveniently gain access to sensitive files, such as password files, and execute shell commands.
  • Cross Zone Scripting
    An attacker is able to cause a victim to load content into their web-browser that bypasses security zone controls and gain access to increased privileges to execute scripting code or other web objects such as unsigned ActiveX controls or applets. This is a privilege elevation attack targeted at zone-based web-browser security. In a zone-based model, pages belong to one of a set of zones corresponding to the level of privilege assigned to that page. Pages in an untrusted zone would have a lesser level of access to the system and/or be restricted in the types of executable content it was allowed to invoke. In a cross-zone scripting attack, a page that should be assigned to a less privileged zone is granted the privileges of a more trusted zone. This can be accomplished by exploiting bugs in the browser, exploiting incorrect configuration in the zone controls, through a cross-site scripting attack that causes the attackers' content to be treated as coming from a more trusted page, or by leveraging some piece of system functionality that is accessible from both the trusted and less trusted zone. This attack differs from "Restful Privilege Escalation" in that the latter correlates to the inadequate securing of RESTful access methods (such as HTTP DELETE) on the server, while cross-zone scripting attacks the concept of security zones as implemented by a browser.
  • Cross Site Scripting through Log Files
    An attacker may leverage a system weakness where logs are susceptible to log injection to insert scripts into the system's logs. If these logs are later viewed by an administrator through a thin administrative interface and the log data is not properly HTML encoded before being written to the page, the attackers' scripts stored in the log will be executed in the administrative interface with potentially serious consequences. This attack pattern is really a combination of two other attack patterns: log injection and stored cross site scripting.
  • Command Line Execution through SQL Injection
    An attacker uses standard SQL injection methods to inject data into the command line for execution. This could be done directly through misuse of directives such as MSSQL_xp_cmdshell or indirectly through injection of data into the database that would be interpreted as shell commands. Sometime later, an unscrupulous backend application (or could be part of the functionality of the same application) fetches the injected data stored in the database and uses this data as command line arguments without performing proper validation. The malicious data escapes that data plane by spawning new commands to be executed on the host.

to be running on the remote host and is, therefore, potentially
affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Numerous errors exist related to the included IBM SDK
    for Java (based on the Oracle JDK) that could allow
    denial of service attacks and information disclosure.
    (CVE-2013-5372, CVE-2013-5780, CVE-2013-5803)

  - User input validation errors exist related to the
    Administrative console and the Oauth component that
    could allow cross-site scripting attacks.
    (CVE-2013-6725 / PM98132, CVE-2013-6323 / PI04777,
    CVE-2013-6738 / PI05661)

  - An error exists due to a failure to properly
    handle by web services endpoint requests that
    could allow denial of service attacks.
    (CVE-2013-6325 / PM99450, PI08267)

  - An error exists in the included IBM Global Security
    Kit related to SSL handling that could allow denial
    of service attacks. (CVE-2013-6329 / PI05309)

  - A flaw exists with the 'mod_dav' module that is caused
    when tracking the length of CDATA that has leading
    white space. A remote attacker with a specially crafted
    DAV WRITE request can cause the service to stop
    responding. (CVE-2013-6438 / PI09345)

  - An error exists in the included IBM Global Security
    Kit related to malformed X.509 certificate chain
    handling that could allow denial of service attacks.
    (CVE-2013-6747 / PI09443)

  - An error exists in the included Apache Tomcat version
    related to handling 'Content-Type' HTTP headers and
    multipart requests such as file uploads that could
    allow denial of service attacks. (CVE-2014-0050 /
    PI12648, PI12926)

  - An unspecified error exists that could allow file
    disclosures to remote unauthenticated attackers.
    (CVE-2014-0823 / PI05324)

  - An unspecified error exists related to the
    Administrative console that could allow a security
    bypass. (CVE-2014-0857 / PI07808)

  - An error exists related to a web server plugin and
    retrying failed POST requests that could allow denial
    of service attacks. (CVE-2014-0859 / PI08892)

  - An error exists related to the Proxy and ODR components
    that could allow information disclosure. (CVE-2014-0891
    / PI09786)

  - An unspecified error exists related to the 'Liberty
    Profile' that could allow information disclosure.
