Description

This security bulletin contains information about 29 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-20005)

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the ngx_gmtime() function when processing dates within the autoindex module. A remote attacker with the ability to pass a file to the server with a specially crafted timestamp with a year prior to 1970 and after the year 10000, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


2) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0673)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output in the UHCI USB controller. A remote user with administrative access to the guest OS can read memory from the vmx process.


4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22254)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input. A local user with privileges within the VMX process can trigger an out-of-bounds write and escape sandbox restrictions.


5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22253)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the UHCI USB controller. A remote attacker with administrative access to the guest OS can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the host OS.

On ESXi, the exploitation is contained within the VMX sandbox whereas, on Workstation and Fusion, this may lead to code execution on the machine where Workstation or Fusion is installed.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in privilege escalation on the vulnerable system.

12) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7529)

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when processing specially crafted requests. A remote attacker can send a malicious request to vulnerable server and gain access to potentially sensitive information.
 
When using nginx with standard modules this allows an attacker to obtain a cache file header if a response was returned from cache. In some configurations a cache file header may contain IP address of the backend server or other sensitive information.

13) Buffer over-read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-16845)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information or trigger denial of service conditions.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when processing headers of MP4 files within the ngx_http_mp4_module module. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted MP4 file, trick the victim into uploading it on the server and trigger application crash or disclosure of the worker's process memory.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that nginx is compiled with support for ngx_http_mp4_module module (not a default configuration).


14) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20372)

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

The vulnerability exists with certain error_page configurations. A remote attacker can read unauthorized web pages in environments where NGINX is being fronted by a load balancer.


15) Off-by-one (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23017)

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

The vulnerability exists due to an off-by-one error within the ngx_resolver_copy() function when processing DNS responses. A remote attacker can trigger an off-by-one error, write a dot character (‘.’, 0x2E) out of bounds in a heap allocated buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

The vulnerability can be triggered by a DNS response in reply to a DNS request from nginx when the resolver primitive is configured. A specially crafted packet allows overwriting the least significant byte of next heap chunk metadata with 0x2E.


16) Origin validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3618)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to a logic error in TLS implementation when handling different protocols but using compatible certificates, such as multi-domain or wildcard certificates. A remote attacker with ability to perform TCP/IP layer MitM attack can redirect traffic from one subdomain to another, resulting in a valid TLS session.
