CVE-2020-14307

Description

A vulnerability was found in Wildfly's Enterprise Java Beans (EJB), where SessionOpenInvocations are never removed from the remote InvocationTracker after a response is received in the EJB Client, as well as the server. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a denial of service attack to make the service unavailable.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details

Info alert:Important note

CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)

CWE-404

Availability,Other

Technical Impact: DoS: Resource Consumption (Other); Varies by Context

Most unreleased resource issues result in general software reliability problems, but if an attacker can intentionally trigger a resource leak, the attacker might be able to launch a denial of service attack by depleting the resource pool.

Confidentiality

Technical Impact: Read Application Data

When a resource containing sensitive information is not correctly shutdown, it may expose the sensitive data in a subsequent allocation.
