Descriptions

This issue affects Progress Application Server (PAS) for OpenEdge in versions 11.7 prior to 11.7.18, 12.2 prior to 12.2.13, and innovation releases prior to 12.8.0

.

An attacker who can produce a malformed web request may cause the crash of a PASOE agent potentially disrupting the thread activities of many web application clients. Multiple of these DoS attacks could lead to the flooding of invalid requests as compared to the server’s remaining ability to process valid requests.

Este problema afecta a Progress Application Server (PAS) para OpenEdge en las versiones 11.7 anteriores a 11.7.18, 12.2 anteriores a 12.2.13 y versiones de innovación anteriores a 12.8.0. Un atacante que pueda generar una solicitud web con formato incorrecto puede provocar el bloqueo de un agente PASOE, lo que podría interrumpir las actividades de subprocesos de muchos clientes de aplicaciones web. Varios de estos ataques DoS podrían provocar una inundación de solicitudes no válidas en comparación con la capacidad restante del servidor para procesar solicitudes válidas.
