1) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU22585

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 6.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12526

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing URN requests. A remote attacker can send specially crafted request to the Squid client, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
net-proxy/squid to version: 4.10

Vulnerable software versions

Gentoo Linux: All versions

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

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

2) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU25019

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12528

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when translating FTP server listing into HTTP responses. A remote attacker can trick the victim into vising a specially crafted FTP server, trigger out-of-bounds read and gain access to memory contents of the heap.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
net-proxy/squid to version: 4.10

3) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests

EUVDB-ID: #VU22587

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-18678

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of HTTP request headers in Squid. A remote attacker can initiate a specially crafted HTTP request that will cause the software to split HTTP request and display to the end user content, controlled by the attacker at arbitrary URL.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
net-proxy/squid to version: 4.10

Vulnerable software versions

Gentoo Linux: All versions

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

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

4) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU22589

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-18679

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect data management when processing HTTP Digest Authentication. Nonce tokens contain the raw byte value of a pointer which sits within heap memory allocation. This allows a remote attacker to gain knowledge of memory allocations and bypass ASLR protection and help in exploitation of other vulnerabilities.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
net-proxy/squid to version: 4.10

Vulnerable software versions

Gentoo Linux: All versions

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

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

5) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU25017

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8449

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request, bypass configured security filters and gain access to certain server resources.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
net-proxy/squid to version: 4.10

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8450

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing HTTP requests, when Squid is acting as a reverse proxy. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected proxy server, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8517

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

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