Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-25091)

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

The vulnerability exists due to urllib3 does not remove the authorization HTTP header when following a cross-origin redirect. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information.

Note, the vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU26413 (CVE-2018-20060).


2) CRLF injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11236)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data passed via HTTP request parameters to urllib3 library. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data that contains CRLF sequences and perform a spoofing attack.


3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-43804)

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

The vulnerability exists due to urllib does not strip the "Cookie" HTTP header during cross-origin HTTP redirects. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.


4) CRLF injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-26137)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary data in server response.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of attacker-supplied data passed via the "method" parameter. A remote authenticated attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application containing CR-LF characters and modify application behavior.


5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33503)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in urllib3 when processing URL with multiple "@" characters in the authority component. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45803)

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

The vulnerability exists due to urllib3 does not remove the HTTP request body when redirecting HTTP response using status codes 301, 302, or 303, after the request had its method changed from one that could accept a request body (e.g. from POST to GET). A remote attacker can gain access to potentially sensitive information.


7) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11324)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the urllib3 library for Python mishandles certain cases where the desired set of CA certificates is different from the OS store of CA certificates. A remote attacker can cause the certificates to be considered trusted contrary to expectations. This is related to use of the "ssl_context", "ca_certs" or "ca_certs_dir" argument.
