Rewterz Threat Advisory – CVE-2018-15756 – Oracle Retail Invoice Matching Denial of Service Vulnerability

Severity

Medium

Analysis Summary

A vulnerability has been reported in Oracle Retail Invoice Matching, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

CVE-2018-15756
Spring Framework, version 5.1, versions 5.0.x prior to 5.0.10, versions 4.3.x prior to 4.3.20, and older unsupported versions on the 4.2.x branch provide support for range requests when serving static resources through the ResourceHttpRequestHandler, or starting in 5.0 when an annotated controller returns an org.springframework.core.io.Resource. A malicious user (or attacker) can add a range header with a high number of ranges, or with wide ranges that overlap, or both, for a denial of service attack.

This vulnerability affects applications that depend on either spring-webmvc or spring-webflux. Such applications must also have a registration for serving static resources (e.g. JS, CSS, images, and others), or have an annotated controller that returns an org.springframework.core.io.Resource. Spring Boot applications that depend on spring-boot-starter-web or spring-boot-starter-webflux are ready to serve static resources out of the box and are therefore vulnerable.
Versions 12.0, 13.0, 13.1, 13.2, 14.0, and 14.1 are reportedly vulnerable.
