Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU51821

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22876

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 libcurl does not strip off user credentials from the URL when automatically populating the Referer: HTTP request header field in outgoing HTTP requests and therefore risks leaking sensitive data to the server that is the target of the second HTTP request.

Mitigation

Update the affected package curl to the latest version.

2) Use of uninitialized variable

EUVDB-ID: #VU53587

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22898

CWE-ID: CWE-457 - Use of Uninitialized Variable

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to usage of uninitialized variable in code, responsible for processing TELNET requests when parsing NEW_ENV variables. A remote attacker can force the affected application to connect to a telnet server under attackers control and read up to 1800 bytes from the uninitialized memory on the libcurl client system.

Proof of concept:

curl telnet://example.com -tNEW_ENV=a,bbbbbb (256 'b's)

Mitigation

Update the affected package curl to the latest version.
