Description
This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28330)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition with the mod_isapi module. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Note, only Windows installations are affected by this vulnerability.
2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30556)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when processing HTTP requests in mod_lua with websockets. A remote attacker can force the module to return lengths to applications calling r:wsread() that point past the end of the storage allocated for the buffer and gain access to sensitive information.
3) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31813)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in mod_proxy implementation, where the web server may not send the X-Forwarded-* headers to the origin server based on client side Connection header hop-by-hop mechanism. A remote attacker can bypass IP based authentication on the origin server/application and gain access to otherwise restricted functionality.
4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30522)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to mod_sed does not properly control consumption of internal resources, if the web server is configured to do transformations with mod_sed in contexts where the input to mod_sed may be very large. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28615)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the ap_strcmp_match() function when processing an extremely large input buffer. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the web server, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
Note, the code distributed with the Apache HTTP Server cannot be coerced into such a call. The vulnerability can affect third-party modules or lua scripts that use ap_strcmp_match().
6) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-26377)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests in mod_proxy_ajp. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle requests to the AJP server it forwards requests to.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
7) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-25032)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when compressing data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2068)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the c_rehash script distributed by some operating systems. A remote attacker with ability to pass data to c_rehash script can and execute arbitrary OS commands with the privileges of the script.
The vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU62765 (CVE-2022-1292).
9) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-22868)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in the Web UI. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
10) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47986)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized YAML data. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to an obsolete API endpoint and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
