Published Apr 13, 2020
·
Updated

A CRLF injection flaw was found in the Lightweight HTTP Server component of OpenJDK. The HttpServer implementation did not restrict the use of CR and LF characters in values for HTTP headers, possibly allowing HTTP response splitting attacks.

Other sources

An unspecified vulnerability in Java SE related to the Java SE Lightweight HTTP Server component could allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause low confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, and no availability impact.

— IBM

Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded product of Oracle Java SE (component: Lightweight HTTP Server). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u251, 8u241, 11.0.6 and 14; Java SE Embedded: 8u241. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to some of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of Java SE, Java SE Embedded accessible data. Note: This vulnerability can only be exploited by supplying data to APIs in the specified Component without using Untrusted Java Web Start applications or Untrusted Java applets, such as through a web service. CVSS 3.0 Base Score 4.8 (Confidentiality and Integrity impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N).
