SB2024122303 - Multiple vulnerabilities in Western Digital My Cloud Home & Duo firmware

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4154)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a design error in Samba's implementation of the DirSync control, which can allow replication of critical domain passwords and secrets by Active Directory accounts authorized to do some replication, but not to replicate sensitive attributes. A remote user can obtain sensitive information from the AD DC and compromise the Active Directory.

2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38545)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the SOCKS5 proxy handshake. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a malicious website, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system but requires that SOCKS5 proxy is used and that SOCKS5 handshake is slow (e.g. under heavy load or DoS attack).

3) External control of file name or path (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38546)

The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary cookies into request.

The vulnerability exists due to the way cookies are handled by libcurl. If a transfer has cookies enabled when the handle is duplicated, the cookie-enable state is also cloned - but without cloning the actual cookies. If the source handle did not read any cookies from a specific file on disk, the cloned version of the handle would instead store the file name as none (using the four ASCII letters, no quotes).

Subsequent use of the cloned handle that does not explicitly set a source to load cookies from would then inadvertently load cookies from a file named none - if such a file exists and is readable in the current directory of the program using libcurl.

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
