Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests

EUVDB-ID: #VU26355

Risk: Medium

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10108

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 attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when processing two Content-length headers, sent within one HTTP request that caused the request body to be interpreted as a pipelined request. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected web server and posing HTTP cache or perform other attacks against web application.

Mitigation

Update to version 1.12.0.

Vulnerable software versions

Synapse: 1.6.0 - 1.11.1

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) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests

EUVDB-ID: #VU26356

Risk: Medium

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10109

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 input validation when processing Content-length and a Chunked encoding header, sent within one HTTP request. The Content-length header took precedence and the remainder of the request body was interpreted as a pipelined request. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected web server and poison HTTP cache or perform other attacks against web application.

Mitigation

Update to version 1.12.0.

Vulnerable software versions
