Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.

1) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU83900

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46218

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 an error in curl that allows a malicious HTTP server to set "super cookies" that are then passed back to more origins than what is otherwise allowed or possible. A remote attacker can force curl to send such cookie to different and unrelated sites and domains.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

2) Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data

EUVDB-ID: #VU83899

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-2023-46219

CWE-ID: CWE-311 - Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling HSTS long file names. When saving HSTS data to an excessively long file name, curl can end up removing all contents from the file, making subsequent requests using that file unaware of the HSTS status they should otherwise use. As a result, a remote attacker can perform MitM attack.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

3) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU82248

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31122

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within mod_macro module. A remote attacker can send specially crafted requests to the server, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

4) Stored cross-site scripting

EUVDB-ID: #VU87679

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 5.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N/E:P/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6710

CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

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 passed via the "alias" parameter in he URL. A remote attacker can permanently inject 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.

Mitigation
