Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Environment variable injection in TYPO3

EUVDB-ID: #VU194

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 7.4 [AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2016-5385

CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect an application's outbound HTTP traffic.

The vulnerability exists in TYPO3 CMS. A remote attacker can redirect an application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in XSS attack and data injection.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote authenticated user via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Improper access control

EUVDB-ID: #VU33632

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 7.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2016-5386

CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The net/http package in Go through 1.6 does not attempt to address RFC 3875 section 4.1.18 namespace conflicts and therefore does not protect CGI applications from the presence of untrusted client data in the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to redirect a CGI application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request, aka an "httpoxy" issue.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

3) Httpoxy issue

EUVDB-ID: #VU337

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 7.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2016-5387

CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information and compromise vulnerable server.

The vulnerability exists due to a design error in multiple implementations of web servers. A remote unauthenticated attacker can use a specially crafted Proxy header in HTTP request to influence HTTP_PROXY environment variable and redirect application’s HTTP traffic to arbitrary proxy server.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and compromise vulnerable server.

This vulnerability is known as httppoxy.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

4) Improper access control

EUVDB-ID: #VU64586

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2016-5388

CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.

The vulnerability exists when the CGI Servlet is enabled, follows RFC 3875 section 4.1.18 and therefore does not protect applications from the presence of untrusted client data in the HTTP_PROXY environment variable. A remote attacker can redirect an application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request, aka an "httpoxy" issue.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
