Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12519

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling the tag esi:when within ESIExpression::Evaluate. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

2) Out-of-bounds write

EUVDB-ID: #VU27667

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12521

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input. When Squid is parsing ESI, it keeps the ESI elements in ESIContext. ESIContext contains a buffer for holding a stack of ESIElements. When a new ESIElement is parsed, it is added via addStackElement. addStackElement has a check for the number of elements in this buffer, but it's off by 1, leading to a Heap Overflow of 1 element. The overflow is within the same structure so it can't affect adjacent memory blocks, and thus just leads to a crash while processing.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

3) Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component

EUVDB-ID: #VU27677

Risk: Low

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-18860

CWE-ID: CWE-74 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cache poisoning attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation of HTML code within the hostname parameter in cachemgr.cgi. A remote attacker can send a specially crated HTTP request and poison the cache.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

4) Integer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU27666

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 6.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-11945

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when processing HTTP Digest Authentication tokens, if memory pooling is disabled. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted authentication nonce and execute arbitrary code on the server through the free'd nonce credentials.

In case memory pooling is enabled, a remote attacker can replay a sniffed Digest Authentication nonce to gain access  to resources that are otherwise forbidden.

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