How to Fix CVE-2019-3422

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Software dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2019-3422, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Software in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Security researcher Shen Ying from the Sec Consult Security Lab reported an information disclosure vulnerability in MF910S product to ZTE PSIRT in October 2019. Through the analysis of related product team, the information disclosure vulnerability is confirmed. The MF910S product's one-click upgrade tool can obtain the Telnet remote login password in the reverse way. If Telnet is opened, the attacker can remotely log in to the device through the cracked password, resulting in information leakage. The MF910S was end of service on October 23, 2019, ZTE recommends users to choose new products for the purpose of better security.
