Description

An unauthenticated attacker in SAP Web Dispatcher - versions WEBDISP 7.49, WEBDISP 7.53, WEBDISP 7.54, WEBDISP 7.77, WEBDISP 7.81, WEBDISP 7.85, WEBDISP 7.88, WEBDISP 7.89, WEBDISP 7.90, KERNEL 7.49, KERNEL 7.53, KERNEL 7.54 KERNEL 7.77, KERNEL 7.81, KERNEL 7.85, KERNEL 7.88, KERNEL 7.89, KERNEL 7.90, KRNL64NUC 7.49, KRNL64UC 7.49, KRNL64UC 7.53, HDB 2.00, XS_ADVANCED_RUNTIME 1.00, SAP_EXTENDED_APP_SERVICES 1, can submit a malicious crafted request over a network to a front-end server which may, over several attempts, result in a back-end server confusing the boundaries of malicious and legitimate messages. This can result in the back-end server executing a malicious payload which can be used to read or modify information on the server or make it temporarily unavailable.
