Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions

EUVDB-ID: #VU65273

Risk: Medium

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32212

CWE-ID: CWE-703 - Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to IsIPAddress does not properly checks if an IP address is invalid or not. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to bypass the IsAllowedHost check and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests

EUVDB-ID: #VU65275

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-2022-32213

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially-crafted request to lead to HTTP Request Smuggling to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

3) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests

EUVDB-ID: #VU65278

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-2022-32214

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to llhttp parser in the http module does not strictly use the CRLF sequence to delimit HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

4) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests

EUVDB-ID: #VU65282

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-2022-32215

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to llhttp parser in the http module does not correctly handle multi-line Transfer-Encoding headers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

5) Security features bypass

EUVDB-ID: #VU65280

Risk: Medium

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32222

CWE-ID: CWE-254 - Security Features

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions

The vulnerability exists due to Node.js after start on linux based systems attempts to read /home/iojs/build/ws/out/Release/obj.target/deps/openssl/openssl.cnf, which ordinarily doesn't exist. A remote unauthenticated attacker can attemp to read openssl.cnf from /home/iojs/build/ upon startup to create this file and affect the default OpenSSL configuration for other users.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
