Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21705)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request, bypass the FILTER_VALIDATE_URL and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21703)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists in the way PHP handles shared memory access, when using PHP FPM SAPI with main FPM daemon process running as root and child worker processes running as lower-privileged users. A child process can access shared memory with the main process and write to it. As a result, it is possible to cause the root process to conduct invalid memory reads and writes with root privileges. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write error and execute arbitrary code on the system with root privileges.
