Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10097)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when processing PROXY header within the mod_remoteip. A remote attacker that controls a trusted proxy server can send a specially crafted PROXY header,  trigger stack overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10092)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data on the mod_proxy error page. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-0220)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to the web server does not merge consecutive slashes in URLs, that can lead to incorrect processing of requests when accessing CGI programs. Such web server behavior may lead to security restrictions bypass.


4) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17199)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.

The weakness exists due to mod_session checks the session expiry time before decoding the session. A remote attacker сan cause session expiry time to be ignored for mod_session_cookie sessions since the expiry time is loaded when the session is decoded and reuse old session credentials or session IDs, which the attacker could use to access web pages previously accessed by a targeted user. 

5) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-0217)

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to impersonate other users.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the mod_auth_digests module. A remote authenticated attacker can send a series of requests and impersonate other users under a threaded MPM.

6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17189)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to an error when handling malicious input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request bodies in a slow loris way to plain resources and cause the h2 stream for that request unnecessarily occupied a server thread cleaning up that incoming data.
