Summary

A vulnerability in the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) subsystem of Cisco IOS Software running on certain models of Cisco Catalyst Switches could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition, aka a GET MIB Object ID Denial of Service Vulnerability. The vulnerability is due to a condition that could occur when the affected software processes an SNMP read request that contains a request for the ciscoFlashMIB object ID (OID). An attacker could trigger this vulnerability by issuing an SNMP GET request for the ciscoFlashMIB OID on an affected device. A successful exploit could cause the affected device to restart due to a SYS-3-CPUHOG. This vulnerability affects the following Cisco devices if they are running a vulnerable release of Cisco IOS Software and are configured to use SNMP Version 2 (SNMPv2) or SNMP Version 3 (SNMPv3): Cisco Catalyst 2960-L Series Switches, Cisco Catalyst Digital Building Series Switches 8P, Cisco Catalyst Digital Building Series Switches 8U. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvd89541.

    descriptionThe version of Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities in Enterprise Manager Base Platform component: - A deserialization vulnerability in Apache Commons FileUpload allows for remote code execution. (CVE-2016-1000031) - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in OpenSSL due to the potential for a side-channel timing attack. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2018-0734) - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.17 to 2.4.34, due to a design error. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue by sending continuous, large SETTINGS frames to cause a client to occupy a connection, server thread and CPU time without any connection timeout coming to effect. This affects only HTTP/2 connections. A possible mitigation is to not enable the h2 protocol. (CVE-2018-11763). - Networking component of Enterprise Manager Base Platform (Spring Framework) is easily exploited and may allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to takeover the Enterprise Manager Base Platform.
