CVE-2016-7050: SerializableProvider in RESTEasy in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server…

CriticalCVSS 9.8 · v3.0—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Plan (action score 41/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 5.3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 92.7% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: resteasy-base (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:7::client) 0:3.0.6-4.el7; resteasy-base-atom-provider (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:7::client) 0:3.0.6-4.el7; resteasy-base-client (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:7::client) 0:3.0.6-4.el7.

Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to resteasy-base (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:7::client) 0:3.0.6-4.el7; resteasy-base-atom-provider (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:7::client) 0:3.0.6-4.el7; resteasy-base-client (Red Hat:enterprise_linux:7::client) 0:3.0.6-4.el7 or later.

Weakness class (CWE)

CWE-502 · Deserialization of Untrusted Data

CVSS vector

CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

nvd-primary

Root cause

Data received over the network is deserialized into the language’s native object format without verifying its source. Code paths inside the object can be triggered during deserialization.

The bug in code

The whole CWE-502 class

A representative example of this vulnerability class. Not the vendor's source code; it shows the faulty pattern and its fix.

Vulnerable

python
payload = sock.recv(65536)job = pickle.loads(payload)

Fixed

python
payload = sock.recv(65536)if not hmac.compare_digest(sign(payload), header_sig):    raise PermissionError("invalid signature")job = JobSchema.validate(json.loads(payload))
