CVE-2022-21616

Service interruption and limited data access or modification

Published Oct 18, 2022 · Updated Sep 24, 2024

Denial of service in Oracle WebLogic Server 12.2.1.3.0, 12.2.1.4.0, and 14.1.1.0.0 allows local users to hang or crash the server. Oracle identifies the Web Container as the affected component but has not disclosed the code locus or operation that mishandles input. Exploitation requires a high-privilege infrastructure logon and can also read a subset of accessible data or update, insert, or delete some accessible data.
