Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Credentials management (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-18074)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to access sensitive information on a targeted system.

The vulnerability exists due to the software does not remove the HTTP Authorization header when following an HTTPS-to-HTTP redirect with the same hostname. A remote attacker who is able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack can sniff network traffic in transit between two systems on the targeted network and access sensitive information, such as user credentials.

2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20060)

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

The vulnerability exists due to Authorization HTTP header is not removed from the HTTP request during request redirection in "urllib3/util/retry.py". A remote attacker can intercept the request and gain access to sensitive information, passed via Authorization HTTP header.


3) CRLF injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11236)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data passed via HTTP request parameters to urllib3 library. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data that contains CRLF sequences and perform a spoofing attack.


4) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11324)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the urllib3 library for Python mishandles certain cases where the desired set of CA certificates is different from the OS store of CA certificates. A remote attacker can cause the certificates to be considered trusted contrary to expectations. This is related to use of the "ssl_context", "ca_certs" or "ca_certs_dir" argument.
