Advisory Summary

CVE-2023-7033 is a MODERATE (CVSS 5.3) security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-410: Insufficient Resource Pool) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product's resource pool is not large enough to handle peak demand, which allows an attacker to prevent others from accessing the resource by using a (relatively) large number of requests for resources.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.

How to Fix CVE-2023-7033

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-2023-7033, 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 CWE-410: Insufficient Resource Pool, where the product's resource pool is not large enough to handle peak demand, which allows an attacker to prevent others from accessing the resource by using a (relatively) large number of requests for resources. 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

Insufficient Resource Pool vulnerability in Ethernet function of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation MELSEC iQ-F Series CPU modules allows a remote attacker to cause a temporary Denial of Service condition for a certain period of time in Ethernet communication of the products by performing TCP SYN Flood attack.
