Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU47252

Risk: Medium

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7070

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists in the way PHP parser handles cookies with percent character (e.g. '%'). A remote attacker can send a crafted HTTP request with a `__%48ost-` or `__%53ecure-` cookie that will be processed before other cookies sent in the same request. As a result, an attacker can set malicious `__Host-` cookie on a subdomain and bypass origin restrictions, imposed by browsers.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to perform a spoofing attack.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

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) Cryptographic issues

EUVDB-ID: #VU47253

Risk: Low

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:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7069

CWE-ID: CWE-310 - Cryptographic Issues

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to the openssl_encrypt() function generates a wrong ciphertext and a wrong tag for AES-CCM for a 12 bytes IV. As a result, a 7-byte nonce is used instead of 12 bytes. A remote attacker can abuse such behavior and decrypt data.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
