Summary

The Spring Framework vulnerabilities identified are located within open source components utilized by Brocade SANnav, however none of these vulnerabilities are in the executable code path. As a part of good security practice, the open source component was updated in the Brocade SANnav 3.0.0 release.

CVE-2024-38808: Spring Expression DoS Vulnerability

In Spring Framework versions 5.3.0 - 5.3.38 and older unsupported versions, it is possible for a user to provide a specially crafted Spring Expression Language (SpEL) expression that may cause a denial of service (DoS) condition.

Specifically, an application is vulnerable when the following is true:

• The application evaluates user-supplied SpEL expressions.

CVE-2024-38809: Spring Framework DoS via conditional HTTP request

Applications that parse ETags from "If-Match" or "If-None-Match" request headers are vulnerable to DoS attack.

CVE-2024-22262: Spring Framework URL Parsing with Host Validation (3rd report)

Applications that use UriComponentsBuilder to parse an externally provided URL (e.g. through a query parameter) AND perform validation checks on the host of the parsed URL may be vulnerable to a open redirect attack or to a SSRF attack if the URL is used after passing validation checks.

This is the same as CVE-2024-22259 and CVE-2024-22243, but with different input.
