SB2013082103 - Multiple vulnerabilities in Puppet Enterprise

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4762)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

Puppet Enterprise before 3.0.1 does not sufficiently invalidate a session when a user logs out, which might allow remote attackers to hijack sessions by obtaining an old session ID.

2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4955)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

Open redirect vulnerability in the login page in Puppet Enterprise before 3.0.1 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a URL in the service parameter.

3) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4958)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Puppet Enterprise before 3.0.1 does not use a session timeout, which makes it easier for attackers to gain privileges by leveraging an unattended workstation.

4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4959)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

Puppet Enterprise before 3.0.1 uses HTTP responses that contain sensitive information without the "no-cache" setting, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information such as (1) host name, (2) MAC address, and (3) SSH keys via the web browser cache.

5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4961)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

Puppet Enterprise before 3.0.1 includes version information for the Apache and Phusion Passenger products in its HTTP response headers, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.

6) Credentials management (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4962)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate or delete data.

The reset password page in Puppet Enterprise before 3.0.1 does not force entry of the current password, which allows attackers to modify user passwords by leveraging session hijacking, an unattended workstation, or other vectors.

7) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4964)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

Puppet Enterprise before 3.0.1 does not set the secure flag for the session cookie in an https session, which makes it easier for remote attackers to capture this cookie by intercepting its transmission within an http session.

8) Credentials management (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4967)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

Puppet Enterprise before 3.0.1 allows remote attackers to obtain the database password via vectors related to how the password is "seeded as a console parameter," External Node Classifiers, and the lack of access control for /nodes.
