The Django project reports:

These releases address an unexpected code-execution issue, a caching issue which can expose CSRF tokens and a MySQL typecasting issue. While these issues present limited risk and may not affect all Django users, we encourage all users to evaluate their own risk and upgrade as soon as possible.

Applications that use SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS, such as nginx, are prone to a race condition which may allow a remote attacker to inject random data into other connections.

A Bugzilla Security Advisory reports:

The login form had no CSRF protection, meaning that an attacker could force the victim to log in using the attacker's credentials. If the victim then reports a new security sensitive bug, the attacker would get immediate access to this bug.

Due to changes involved in the Bugzilla API, this fix is not backported to the 4.0 and 4.2 branches, meaning that Bugzilla 4.0.12 and older, and 4.2.8 and older, will remain vulnerable to this issue.

A Bugzilla Security Advisory reports:

Dangerous control characters can be inserted into Bugzilla, notably into bug comments. If the text, which may look safe, is copied into a terminal such as xterm or gnome-terminal, then unexpected commands could be executed on the local machine.

Jan Lieskovsky reports:

OpenLDAP does not properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority

cURL reports:

When doing GSSAPI authentication, libcurl unconditionally performs credential delegation. This hands the server a copy of the client's security credentials, allowing the server to impersonate the client to any other using the same GSSAPI mechanism.

Sebastian Krahmer reports:

A privilege escalation flaw was found in the way dbus-glib, the D-Bus add-on library to integrate the standard D-Bus library with the GLib thread abstraction and main loop, performed filtering of the message sender (message source subject), when the NameOwnerChanged signal was received. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate their privileges.

Hamid Zamani reports:

multiple security problems (buffer overflows, format string vulnerabilities and missing input sanitising), which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

Debian reports:

Heap-based buffer overflow in msadpcm.c in libaudiofile in audiofile 0.2.6 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted WAV file.

JVN iPedia reports:

ChaSen provided by Nara Institute of Science and Technology is a software for morphologically analyzing Japanese. ChaSen contains an issue when reading in strings, which may lead to a buffer overflow.

An arbitrary script may be executed by an attacker with access to a system that is running a product listed in "Products Affected."

OpenSSL reports:

A flaw in the implementation of Montgomery Ladder Approach would create a side-channel that leaks sensitive timing information.

A local attacker might be able to snoop a signing process and might recover the signing key from it.

The OpenAFS development team reports:

An attacker with the ability to connect to an OpenAFS fileserver can trigger a buffer overflow, crashing the server.

The buffer overflow can be triggered by sending an unauthenticated request for file server statistical information.

Clients are not affected.

OpenSSL Reports:

A missing bounds check in the handling of the TLS heartbeat extension can be used to reveal up to 64k of memory to a connected client or server.

Affected users should upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.1g. Users unable to immediately upgrade can alternatively recompile OpenSSL with -DOPENSSL_NO_HEARTBEATS.

The bug allows anyone on the Internet to read the memory of the systems protected by the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL software. This compromises the secret keys used to identify the service providers and to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the users and the actual content. This allows attackers to eavesdrop communications, steal data directly from the services and users and to impersonate services and users.

The code used to handle the Heartbeat Extension does not do sufficient boundary checks on record length, which allows reading beyond the actual payload.

The OTRS Project reports:

An attacker could embed OTRS in a hidden iframe tag of another page, tricking the user into clicking links in OTRS.

oCERT reports:

The LibYAML project is an open source YAML 1.1 parser and emitter written in C.

The library is affected by a heap-based buffer overflow which can lead to arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability is caused by lack of proper expansion for the string passed to the yaml_parser_scan_uri_escapes() function.

A specially crafted YAML file, with a long sequence of percent-encoded characters in a URL, can be used to trigger the overflow.

The Icinga Team reports:

Wrong strlen check against MAX_INPUT_BUFFER without taking '\0' into account [...]

Aaron Reffett reports:

softmagic.c in file ... and libmagic allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access and crash) via crafted offsets in the softmagic of a PE executable.

Jan Kundrát reports:

An SSL stripping vulnerability was discovered in Trojitá, a fast Qt IMAP e-mail client. User's credentials are never leaked, but if a user tries to send an e-mail, the automatic saving into the "sent" or "draft" folders could happen over a plaintext connection even if the user's preferences specify STARTTLS as a requirement.

The nginx project reports:

A bug in the experimental SPDY implementation in nginx was found, which might allow an attacker to cause a heap memory buffer overflow in a worker process by using a specially crafted request, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution (CVE-2014-0133).

The problem affects nginx 1.3.15 - 1.5.11, compiled with the ngx_http_spdy_module module (which is not compiled by default) and without --with-debug configure option, if the "spdy" option of the "listen" directive is used in a configuration file.

The problem is fixed in nginx 1.5.12, 1.4.7.

Beatrice Torracca and Evgeni Golov report:

A buffer overflow has been discovered that could result in denial of service or potential execution of arbitrary code.

This condition can be triggered by malformed RFC2047 header lines

JonApps reports:

The read-only mode can be bypassed and any command sent to bash session

Samba project reports:

In Samba's SAMR server we neglect to ensure that attempted password changes will update the bad password count, nor set the lockout flags. This would allow a user unlimited attempts against the password by simply calling ChangePasswordUser2 repeatedly.

This is available without any other authentication.

smbcacls can remove a file or directory ACL by mistake.

The Asterisk project reports:

Stack Overflow in HTTP Processing of Cookie Headers. Sending a HTTP request that is handled by Asterisk with a large number of Cookie headers could overflow the stack. You could even exhaust memory if you sent an unlimited number of headers in the request.

Denial of Service Through File Descriptor Exhaustion with chan_sip Session-Timers. An attacker can use all available file descriptors using SIP INVITE requests. Asterisk will respond with code 400, 420, or 422 for INVITEs meeting this criteria. Each INVITE meeting these conditions will leak a channel and several file descriptors. The file descriptors cannot be released without restarting Asterisk which may allow intrusion detection systems to be bypassed by sending the requests slowly.

Remote Crash Vulnerability in PJSIP channel driver. A remotely exploitable crash vulnerability exists in the PJSIP channel driver if the "qualify_frequency" configuration option is enabled on an AOR and the remote SIP server challenges for authentication of the resulting OPTIONS request. The response handling code wrongly assumes that a PJSIP endpoint will always be associated with an outgoing request which is incorrect.

Mateusz Jurczyk reports:

Out of bounds stack-based read/write in cf2_hintmap_build.

This is a critical vulnerability in the CFF Rasterizer code recently contributed by Adobe, leading to potential arbitrary code execution in the context of the FreeType2 library client.

Secunia reports:

Secunia Research has discovered two vulnerabilities in XMMS, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

1) An integer underflow error exists in the processing of skin bitmap images. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via specially crafted skin images containing manipulated header information.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

2) An integer overflow error exists in the processing of skin bitmap images. This can be exploited to cause memory corruption via specially crafted skin images containing manipulated header information.

Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.

The nginx project reports:

A bug in the experimental SPDY implementation in nginx 1.5.10 was found, which might allow an attacker to corrupt worker process memory by using a specially crafted request, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution (CVE-2014-0088).

The problem only affects nginx 1.5.10 on 32-bit platforms, compiled with the ngx_http_spdy_module module (which is not compiled by default), if the "spdy" option of the "listen" directive is used in a configuration file.

GnuTLS project reports:

A vulnerability was discovered that affects the certificate verification functions of all gnutls versions. A specially crafted certificate could bypass certificate validation checks. The vulnerability was discovered during an audit of GnuTLS for Red Hat.

Suman Jana reported a vulnerability that affects the certificate verification functions of gnutls 2.11.5 and later versions. A version 1 intermediate certificate will be considered as a CA certificate by default (something that deviates from the documented behavior).

The Fine Free file project reports:

file before 5.17 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion, CPU consumption, and crash) via a crafted indirect offset value in the magic of a file.

Vincent Danen via Red Hat Issue Tracker reports:

A vulnerability was reported in Python's socket module, due to a boundary error within the sock_recvfrom_into() function, which could be exploited to cause a buffer overflow. This could be used to crash a Python application that uses the socket.recvfrom_info() function or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running vulnerable Python code.

This vulnerable function, socket.recvfrom_into(), was introduced in Python 2.5. Earlier versions are not affected by this flaw.

Subversion Project reports:

Subversion's mod_dav_svn Apache HTTPD server module will crash when it receives an OPTIONS request against the server root and Subversion is configured to handle the server root and SVNListParentPath is on. This can lead to a DoS. There are no known instances of this problem being exploited in the wild, but the details of how to exploit it have been disclosed on the Subversion development mailing list.

The OTRS Project reports:

An attacker could send a specially prepared HTML email to OTRS. If he can then trick an agent into following a special link to display this email, JavaScript code would be executed.

PostgreSQL Project reports:

This update fixes CVE-2014-0060, in which PostgreSQL did not properly enforce the WITH ADMIN OPTION permission for ROLE management. Before this fix, any member of a ROLE was able to grant others access to the same ROLE regardless if the member was given the WITH ADMIN OPTION permission. It also fixes multiple privilege escalation issues, including: CVE-2014-0061, CVE-2014-0062, CVE-2014-0063, CVE-2014-0064, CVE-2014-0065, and CVE-2014-0066. More information on these issues can be found on our security page and the security issue detail wiki page.

With this release, we are also alerting users to a known security hole that allows other users on the same machine to gain access to an operating system account while it is doing "make check": CVE-2014-0067. "Make check" is normally part of building PostgreSQL from source code. As it is not possible to fix this issue without causing significant issues to our testing infrastructure, a patch will be released separately and publicly. Until then, users are strongly advised not to run "make check" on machines where untrusted users have accounts.

The phpMyAdmin development team reports:

When importing a file with crafted filename, it is possible to trigger an XSS. We consider this vulnerability to be non critical.

Jenkins Security Advisory reports:

This advisory announces multiple security vulnerabilities that were found in Jenkins core.

1. iSECURITY-105

   In some places, Jenkins XML API uses XStream to deserialize arbitrary content, which is affected by CVE-2013-7285 reported against XStream. This allows malicious users of Jenkins with a limited set of permissions to execute arbitrary code inside Jenkins master.

2. SECURITY-76 & SECURITY-88 / CVE-2013-5573

   Restrictions of HTML tags for user-editable contents are too lax. This allows malicious users of Jenkins to trick other unsuspecting users into providing sensitive information.

3. SECURITY-109

   Plugging a hole in the earlier fix to SECURITY-55. Under some circimstances, a malicious user of Jenkins can configure job X to trigger another job Y that the user has no access to.

4. SECURITY-108

   CLI job creation had a directory traversal vulnerability. This allows a malicious user of Jenkins with a limited set of permissions to overwrite files in the Jenkins master and escalate privileges.

5. SECURITY-106

   The embedded Winstone servlet container is susceptive to session hijacking attack.

6. SECURITY-93

   The password input control in the password parameter definition in the Jenkins UI was serving the actual value of the password in HTML, not an encrypted one. If a sensitive value is set as the default value of such a parameter definition, it can be exposed to unintended audience.

7. SECURITY-89

   Deleting the user was not invalidating the API token, allowing users to access Jenkins when they shouldn't be allowed to do so.

8. SECURITY-80

   Jenkins UI was vulnerable to click jacking attacks.

9. SECURITY-79

   "Jenkins' own user database" was revealing the presence/absence of users when login attempts fail.

10. SECURITY-77

    Jenkins had a cross-site scripting vulnerability in one of its cookies. If Jenkins is deployed in an environment that allows an attacker to override Jenkins cookies in victim's browser, this vulnerability can be exploited.

11. SECURITY-75

    Jenkins was vulnerable to session fixation attack. If Jenkins is deployed in an environment that allows an attacker to override Jenkins cookies in victim's browser, this vulnerability can be exploited.

12. SECURITY-74

    Stored XSS vulnerability. A malicious user of Jenkins with a certain set of permissions can cause Jenkins to store arbitrary HTML fragment.

13. SECURITY-73

    Some of the system diagnostic functionalities were checking a lesser permission than it should have. In a very limited circumstances, this can cause an attacker to gain information that he shouldn't have access to.

Severity

1. SECURITY-106, and SECURITY-80 are rated high. An attacker only needs direct HTTP access to the server to mount this attack.
2. SECURITY-105, SECURITY-109, SECURITY-108, and SECURITY-74 are rated high. These vulnerabilities allow attackes with valid Jenkins user accounts to escalate privileges in various ways.
3. SECURITY-76, SECURIT-88, and SECURITY-89 are rated medium. These vulnerabilities requires an attacker to be an user of Jenkins, and the mode of the attack is limited.
4. SECURITY-93, and SECURITY-79 are rated low. These vulnerabilities only affect a small part of Jenkins and has limited impact.
5. SECURITY-77, SECURITY-75, and SECURITY-73 are rated low. These vulnerabilities are hard to exploit unless combined with other exploit in the network.

lighttpd security advisories report:

It is possible to inadvertantly enable vulnerable ciphers when using ssl.cipher-list.

In certain cases setuid() and similar can fail, potentially triggering lighttpd to restart running as root.

If FAMMonitorDirectory fails, the memory intended to store the context is released; some lines below the "version" compoment of that context is read. Reading invalid data doesn't matter, but the memory access could trigger a segfault.

The phpMyFAQ team reports:

An arbitrary script may be executed on the user's Internet Explorer when using an older version of the browser. If a user views a malicious page while logged in, settings may be changed unintentionally.

Adobe reports:

These updates address vulnerabilities that could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.

libyaml was prone to a heap overflow that could result in arbitrary code execution. Pkg uses libyaml to parse the package manifests in some cases. Pkg also used libyaml to parse the remote repository until 1.2.

RedHat Product Security Team reports on libyaml:

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libyaml parsed YAML tags. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted YAML document that, when parsed by an application using libyaml, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.

Florian Weimer of the Red Hat Product Security Team reports:

Due to a missing check during assembly of the HTTP request line a long target server name in the PROXY-CONNECT address can cause a stack buffer overrun. Exploitation requires that the attacker is able to provide the target server name to the PROXY-CONNECT address in the command line. This can happen for example in scripts that receive data from untrusted sources.

The OTRS Project reports:

SQL injection issue

An attacker that managed to take over the session of a logged in customer could create tickets and/or send follow-ups to existing tickets due to missing challenge token checks.

The RT development team reports:

Versions of RT between 4.2.0 and 4.2.2 (inclusive) are vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack via the email gateway; any installation which accepts mail from untrusted sources is vulnerable, regardless of the permissions configuration inside RT. This vulnerability is assigned CVE-2014-1474.

This vulnerability is caused by poor parsing performance in the Email::Address::List module, which RT depends on. We recommend that affected users upgrade their version of Email::Address::List to v0.02 or above, which resolves the issue. Due to a communications mishap, the release on CPAN will temporarily appear as "unauthorized," and the command-line cpan client will hence not install it. We expect this to be resolved shortly; in the meantime, the release is also available from our server.

strongSwan Project reports:

A DoS vulnerability triggered by crafted IKEv1 fragmentation payloads was discovered in strongSwan's IKE daemon charon. All versions since 5.0.2 are affected.

A DoS vulnerability and potential authorization bypass triggered by a crafted ID_DER_ASN1_DN ID payload was discovered in strongSwan. All versions since 4.3.3 are affected.

A DoS vulnerability in strongSwan was discovered, which is triggered by XAuth usernames and EAP identities in versions 5.0.3 and 5.0.4.

Varnish Cache Project reports:

If Varnish receives a certain illegal request, and the subroutine 'vcl_error{}' restarts the request, the varnishd worker process will crash with an assert.

The varnishd management process will restart the worker process, but there will be a brief interruption of service and the cache will be emptied, causing more traffic to go to the backend.

We are releasing this advisory because restarting from vcl_error{} is both fairly common and documented.

This is purely a denial of service vulnerability, there is no risk of privilege escalation.

ntp.org reports:

Unrestricted access to the monlist feature in ntp_request.c in ntpd in NTP before 4.2.7p26 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (traffic amplification) via forged (1) REQ_MON_GETLIST or (2) REQ_MON_GETLIST_1 requests, as exploited in the wild in December 2013

Use noquery to your default restrictions to block all status queries.

Use disable monitor to disable the ``ntpdc -c monlist'' command while still allowing other status queries.

Eric Stanley reports:

Most CGIs previously incremented the input variable counter twice when it encountered a long key value. This could cause the CGI to read past the end of the list of CGI variables.

ISC reports:

Because of a defect in handling queries for NSEC3-signed zones, BIND can crash with an "INSIST" failure in name.c when processing queries possessing certain properties. By exploiting this defect an attacker deliberately constructing a query with the right properties could achieve denial of service against an authoritative nameserver serving NSEC3-signed zones.

freedesktop.org reports:

A BDF font file containing a longer than expected string can cause a buffer overflow on the stack. Testing in X servers built with Stack Protector restulted in an immediate crash when reading a user-proveded specially crafted font.

As libXfont is used to read user-specified font files in all X servers distributed by X.Org, including the Xorg server which is often run with root privileges or as setuid-root in order to access hardware, this bug may lead to an unprivileged user acquiring root privileges in some systems.

OpenSSL development team reports:

• Fix for DTLS retransmission bug [CVE-2013-6450]

Revive reports:

An SQL-injection vulnerability was recently discovered and reported to the Revive Adserver team by Florian Sander. The vulnerability is known to be already exploited to gain unauthorised access to the application using brute force mechanisms, however other kind of attacks might be possible and/or already in use. The risk is rated to be critical as the most common end goal of the attackers is to spread malware to the visitors of all the websites and ad networks that the ad server is being used on.

The vulnerability is also present and exploitable in OpenX Source 2.8.11 and earlier versions, potentially back to phpAdsNew 2.0.x.

cURL project reports:

libcurl is vulnerable to a case of missing out the checking of the certificate CN or SAN name field when the digital signature verification is turned off.

libcurl offers two separate and independent options for verifying a server's TLS certificate. CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER and CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST. The first one tells libcurl to verify the trust chain using a CA cert bundle, while the second tells libcurl to make sure that the name fields in the server certificate meets the criteria. Both options are enabled by default.

This flaw had the effect that when an application disabled CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, libcurl mistakenly also skipped the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST check. Applications can disable CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER and still achieve security by doing the check on its own using other means.

The curl command line tool is not affected by this problem as it either enables both options or disables both at the same time.

Werner Koch reports:

CVE-2013-4576 has been assigned to this security bug.

The paper describes two attacks. The first attack allows to distinguish keys: An attacker is able to notice which key is currently used for decryption. This is in general not a problem but may be used to reveal the information that a message, encrypted to a commonly not used key, has been received by the targeted machine. We do not have a software solution to mitigate this attack.

The second attack is more serious. It is an adaptive chosen ciphertext attack to reveal the private key. A possible scenario is that the attacker places a sensor (for example a standard smartphone) in the vicinity of the targeted machine. That machine is assumed to do unattended RSA decryption of received mails, for example by using a mail client which speeds up browsing by opportunistically decrypting mails expected to be read soon. While listening to the acoustic emanations of the targeted machine, the smartphone will send new encrypted messages to that machine and re-construct the private key bit by bit. A 4096 bit RSA key used on a laptop can be revealed within an hour.

The Asterisk project reports:

A 16 bit SMS message that contains an odd message length value will cause the message decoding loop to run forever. The message buffer is not on the stack but will be overflowed resulting in corrupted memory and an immediate crash.

External control protocols, such as the Asterisk Manager Interface, often have the ability to get and set channel variables; this allows the execution of dialplan functions. Dialplan functions within Asterisk are incredibly powerful, which is wonderful for building applications using Asterisk. But during the read or write execution, certain diaplan functions do much more. For example, reading the SHELL() function can execute arbitrary commands on the system Asterisk is running on. Writing to the FILE() function can change any file that Asterisk has write access to. When these functions are executed from an external protocol, that execution could result in a privilege escalation.

The phpMyFAQ team reports:

Secunia noticed while analysing the advisory that authenticated users with "Right to add attachments" are able to exploit an already publicly known issue in the bundled Ajax File Manager of phpMyFAQ version 2.8.3, which leads to arbitrary PHP code execution for authenticated users with the permission "Right to add attachments".

Recurity Labs Team project reports:

Zabbix agent is vulnerable to remote command execution from the Zabbix server in some cases.

Stefan Esser reports:

The PHP function openssl_x509_parse() uses a helper function called asn1_time_to_time_t() to convert timestamps from ASN1 string format into integer timestamp values. The parser within this helper function is not binary safe and can therefore be tricked to write up to five NUL bytes outside of an allocated buffer.

This problem can be triggered by x509 certificates that contain NUL bytes in their notBefore and notAfter timestamp fields and leads to a memory corruption that might result in arbitrary code execution.

Depending on how openssl_x509_parse() is used within a PHP application the attack requires either a malicious cert signed by a compromised/malicious CA or can be carried out with a self-signed cert.

The OpenTTD Team reports:

The problem is caused by incorrectly handling the fact that the aircraft circling the corner airport will be outside of the bounds of the map. In the 'out of fuel' crash code the height of the tile under the aircraft is determined. In this case that means a tile outside of the allocated map array, which could occasionally trigger invalid reads.

Monitorix Project reports:

A serious bug in the built-in HTTP server. It was discovered that the handle_request() routine did not properly perform input sanitization which led into a number of security vulnerabilities. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary commands on the remote host. All users still using older versions are advised to upgrade to this version, which resolves this issue.

Subversion Project reports:

mod_dontdothat does not restrict requests from serf based clients

mod_dontdothat allows you to block update REPORT requests against certain paths in the repository. It expects the paths in the REPORT request to be absolute URLs. Serf based clients send relative URLs instead of absolute URLs in many cases. As a result these clients are not blocked as configured by mod_dontdothat.

mod_dav_svn assertion triggered by non-canonical URLs in autoversioning commits

When SVNAutoversioning is enabled via SVNAutoversioning on commits can be made by single HTTP requests such as MKCOL and PUT. If Subversion is built with assertions enabled any such requests that have non-canonical URLs, such as URLs with a trailing /, may trigger an assert. An assert will cause the Apache process to abort.

Ruby Gem developers report:

The patch for CVE-2013-4363 was insufficiently verified so the combined regular expression for verifying gem version remains vulnerable following CVE-2013-4363.

RubyGems validates versions with a regular expression that is vulnerable to denial of service due to backtracking. For specially crafted RubyGems versions attackers can cause denial of service through CPU consumption.

Ruby Gem developers report:

RubyGems validates versions with a regular expression that is vulnerable to denial of service due to backtracking. For specially crafted RubyGems versions attackers can cause denial of service through CPU consumption.

Ruby developers report:

Any time a string is converted to a floating point value, a specially crafted string can cause a heap overflow. This can lead to a denial of service attack via segmentation faults and possibly arbitrary code execution. Any program that converts input of unknown origin to floating point values (especially common when accepting JSON) are vulnerable.

The Samba project reports:

Samba 4.0.x before 4.0.11 and 4.1.x before 4.1.1, when LDAP or HTTP is provided over SSL, uses world-readable permissions for a private key, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the key file, as demonstrated by access to the local filesystem on an AD domain controller.

The Samba project reports:

Samba versions 3.2.0 and above (all versions of 3.2.x, 3.3.x, 3.4.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, 4.0.x and 4.1.x) do not check the underlying file or directory ACL when opening an alternate data stream.

According to the SMB1 and SMB2+ protocols the ACL on an underlying file or directory should control what access is allowed to alternate data streams that are associated with the file or directory.

The nginx project reports:

Ivan Fratric of the Google Security Team discovered a bug in nginx, which might allow an attacker to bypass security restrictions in certain configurations by using a specially crafted request, or might have potential other impact (CVE-2013-4547).

The OpenSSH development team reports:

A memory corruption vulnerability exists in the post- authentication sshd process when an AES-GCM cipher (aes128-gcm@openssh.com or aes256-gcm@openssh.com) is selected during kex exchange.

If exploited, this vulnerability might permit code execution with the privileges of the authenticated user and may therefore allow bypassing restricted shell/command configurations.

Either upgrade to 6.4 or disable AES-GCM in the server configuration. The following sshd_config option will disable AES-GCM while leaving other ciphers active:

Ciphers aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc

Quassel IRC developers report:

Alan Coopersmith reports:

Pedro Ribeiro (pedrib at gmail.com) reported an issue to the X.Org security team in which an authenticated X client can cause an X server to use memory after it was freed, potentially leading to crash and/or memory corruption.

Dwayne Litzenberger reports:

In PyCrypto before v2.6.1, the Crypto.Random pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) exhibits a race condition that may cause it to generate the same 'random' output in multiple processes that are forked from each other. Depending on the application, this could reveal sensitive information or cryptographic keys to remote attackers.

The wordpress development team reports:

• Block unsafe PHP unserialization that could occur in limited situations and setups, which can lead to remote code execution.
• Prevent a user with an Author role, using a specially crafted request, from being able to create a post "written by" another user.
• Fix insufficient input validation that could result in redirecting or leading a user to another website.

Additionally, we've adjusted security restrictions around file uploads to mitigate the potential for cross-site scripting.

node.js developers report

This release contains a security fix for the http server implementation, please upgrade as soon as possible.

A Bugzilla Security Advisory reports:

Cross-Site Request Forgery

When a user submits changes to a bug right after another user did, a midair collision page is displayed to inform the user about changes recently made. This page contains a token which can be used to validate the changes if the user decides to submit his changes anyway. A regression in Bugzilla 4.4 caused this token to be recreated if a crafted URL was given, even when no midair collision page was going to be displayed, allowing an attacker to bypass the token check and abuse a user to commit changes on his behalf.

Cross-Site Request Forgery

When an attachment is edited, a token is generated to validate changes made by the user. Using a crafted URL, an attacker could force the token to be recreated, allowing him to bypass the token check and abuse a user to commit changes on his behalf.

Cross-Site Scripting

Some parameters passed to editflagtypes.cgi were not correctly filtered in the HTML page, which could lead to XSS.

Cross-Site Scripting

Due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-4189, some incorrectly filtered field values in tabular reports could lead to XSS.

xinetd would execute configured TCPMUX services without dropping privilege to match the service configuration allowing the service to run with same privilege as the xinetd process (root).

PolarSSL Project reports:

The researchers Cyril Arnaud and Pierre-Alain Fouque investigated the PolarSSL RSA implementation and discovered a bias in the implementation of the Montgomery multiplication that we used. For which they then show that it can be used to mount an attack on the RSA key. Although their test attack is done on a local system, there seems to be enough indication that this can properly be performed from a remote system as well.

All versions prior to PolarSSL 1.2.9 and 1.3.0 are affected if a third party can send arbitrary handshake messages to your server.

If correctly executed, this attack reveals the entire private RSA key after a large number of attack messages (> 600.000 on a local machine) are sent to show the timing differences.

Graphite developers report:

This release contains several security fixes for cross-site scripting (XSS) as well as a fix for a remote-execution exploit in graphite-web (CVE-2013-5903).

The Django project reports:

These releases address a denial-of-service attack against Django's authentication framework. All users of Django are encouraged to upgrade immediately.

Problem Description:

The nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same nullfs instance. It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the underlying (source) filesystem is the same.

Impact:

If multiple nullfs views into the same filesystem are mounted in different locations, a user with read access to one of these views and write access to another will be able to create a hard link from the latter to a file in the former, even though they are, from the user's perspective, different filesystems. The user may thereby gain write access to files which are nominally on a read-only filesystem.

Problem Description:

As is commonly the case, the IPv6 and ATM network layer ioctl request handlers are written in such a way that an unrecognized request is passed on unmodified to the link layer, which will either handle it or return an error code.

Network interface drivers, however, assume that the SIOCSIFADDR, SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests have been handled at the network layer, and therefore do not perform input validation or verify the caller's credentials. Typical link-layer actions for these requests may include marking the interface as "up" and resetting the underlying hardware.

Impact:

An unprivileged user with the ability to run arbitrary code can cause any network interface in the system to perform the link layer actions associated with a SIOCSIFADDR, SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR or SIOCSIFNETMASK ioctl request; or trigger a kernel panic by passing a specially crafted address structure which causes a network interface driver to dereference an invalid pointer.

Although this has not been confirmed, the possibility that an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code in kernel context can not be ruled out.

These updates address vulnerabilities that could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.

The Django project reports:

These releases address a directory-traversal vulnerability in one of Django's built-in template tags. While this issue requires some fairly specific factors to be exploitable, we encourage all users of Django to upgrade promptly.

Subversion Project reports:

svnserve takes a --pid-file option which creates a file containing the process id it is running as. It does not take steps to ensure that the file it has been directed at is not a symlink. If the pid file is in a directory writeable by unprivileged users, the destination could be replaced by a symlink allowing for privilege escalation. svnserve does not create a pid file by default.

All versions are only vulnerable when the --pid-file=ARG option is used.

Cacti release reports:

Multiple security vulnerabilities have been fixed:

• SQL injection vulnerabilities

The Asterisk project reports:

Bundled version of libav in gstreamer-ffmpeg contains a number of vulnerabilities.

Werner Koch of the GNU project reports:

Noteworthy changes in version 1.5.3:

Mitigate the Yarom/Falkner flush+reload side-channel attack on RSA secret keys...

Note that Libgcrypt is used by GnuPG 2.x and thus this release fixes the above problem. The fix for GnuPG less than 2.0 can be found in the just released GnuPG 1.4.14.

Puppet Labs reports:

By using the `resource_type` service, an attacker could cause puppet to load arbitrary Ruby files from the puppet master node's file system. While this behavior is not enabled by default, `auth.conf` settings could be modified to allow it. The exploit requires local file system access to the Puppet Master.

Puppet Module Tool (PMT) did not correctly control permissions of modules it installed, instead transferring permissions that existed when the module was built.

Mageia security team reports:

It was discovered that Little CMS did not properly verify certain memory allocations. If a user or automated system using Little CMS were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could cause Little CMS to crash (CVE-2013-4160).

Paul Bakker reports:

A bug in the logic of the parsing of PEM encoded certificates in x509parse_crt() can result in an infinite loop, thus hogging processing power.

While parsing a Certificate message during the SSL/TLS handshake, PolarSSL extracts the presented certificates and sends them on to be parsed. As the RFC specifies that the certificates in the Certificate message are always X.509 certificates in DER format, bugs in the decoding of PEM certificates should normally not be triggerable via the SSL/TLS handshake.

Versions of PolarSSL prior to 1.1.7 in the 1.1 branch and prior to 1.2.8 in the 1.2 branch call the generic x509parse_crt() function for parsing during the handshake. x509parse_crt() is a generic functions that wraps parsing of both PEM-encoded and DER-formatted certificates. As a result it is possible to craft a Certificate message that includes a PEM encoded certificate in the Certificate message that triggers the infinite loop.

The Samba project reports:

All current released versions of Samba are vulnerable to a denial of service on an authenticated or guest connection. A malformed packet can cause the smbd server to loop the CPU performing memory allocations and preventing any further service.

A connection to a file share, or a local account is needed to exploit this problem, either authenticated or unauthenticated if guest connections are allowed.

Simon Tatham reports:

This [0.63] release fixes multiple security holes in previous versions of PuTTY, which can allow an SSH-2 server to make PuTTY overrun or underrun buffers and crash. [...]

These vulnerabilities can be triggered before host key verification, which means that you are not even safe if you trust the server you think you're connecting to, since it could be spoofed over the network and the host key check would not detect this before the attack could take place.

Additionally, when PuTTY authenticated with a user's private key, the private key or information equivalent to it was accidentally kept in PuTTY's memory for the rest of its run, where it could be retrieved by other processes reading PuTTY's memory, or written out to swap files or crash dumps. This release fixes that as well.

Typo Security Team reports:

It has been discovered that TYPO3 Core is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting and Remote Code Execution.

TYPO3 bundles flash files for video and audio playback. Old versions of FlowPlayer and flashmedia are susceptible to Cross-Site Scripting. No authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.

The file upload component and the File Abstraction Layer are failing to check for denied file extensions, which allows authenticated editors (even with limited permissions) to upload php files with arbitrary code, which can then be executed in web server's context.

The phpMyAdmin development team reports:

phpMyAdmin has a number of mechanisms to avoid a clickjacking attack, however these mechanisms either work only in modern browser versions, or can be bypassed.

"We have no solution for 3.5.x, due to the proposed solution requiring JavaScript. We don't want to introduce a dependency to JavaScript in the 3.5.x family."

Google Chrome Releases reports:

Eleven vulnerabilities, including:

[261701] High CVE-2013-2886: Various fixes from internal audits, fuzzing and other initiatives.

The phpMyAdmin development team reports:

XSS due to unescaped HTML Output when executing a SQL query.

Using a crafted SQL query, it was possible to produce an XSS on the SQL query form.

This vulnerability can be triggered only by someone who logged in to phpMyAdmin, as the usual token protection prevents non-logged-in users from accessing the required form.

5 XSS vulnerabilities in setup, chart display, process list, and logo link.

• In the setup/index.php, using a crafted # hash with a Javascript event, untrusted JS code could be executed.
• In the Display chart view, a chart title containing HTML code was rendered unescaped, leading to possible JavaScript code execution via events.
• A malicious user with permission to create databases or users having HTML tags in their name, could trigger an XSS vulnerability by issuing a sleep query with a long delay. In the server status monitor, the query parameters were shown unescaped.
• By configuring a malicious URL for the phpMyAdmin logo link in the navigation sidebar, untrusted script code could be executed when a user clicked the logo.
• The setup field for "List of trusted proxies for IP allow/deny" Ajax validation code returned the unescaped input on errors, leading to possible JavaScript execution by entering arbitrary HTML.

If a crafted version.json would be presented, an XSS could be introduced.

Due to not properly validating the version.json file, which is fetched from the phpMyAdmin.net website, could lead to an XSS attack, if a crafted version.json file would be presented.

This vulnerability can only be exploited with a combination of complicated techniques and tricking the user to visit a page.

Full path disclosure vulnerabilities.

By calling some scripts that are part of phpMyAdmin in an unexpected way, it is possible to trigger phpMyAdmin to display a PHP error message which contains the full path of the directory where phpMyAdmin is installed.

This path disclosure is possible on servers where the recommended setting of the PHP configuration directive display_errors is set to on, which is against the recommendations given in the PHP manual.

XSS vulnerability when a text to link transformation is used.

When the TextLinkTransformationPlugin is used to create a link to an object when displaying the contents of a table, the object name is not properly escaped, which could lead to an XSS, if the object name has a crafted value.

The stored XSS vulnerabilities can be triggered only by someone who logged in to phpMyAdmin, as the usual token protection prevents non-logged-in users from accessing the required forms.

Self-XSS due to unescaped HTML output in schema export.

When calling schema_export.php with crafted parameters, it is possible to trigger an XSS.

This vulnerability can be triggered only by someone who logged in to phpMyAdmin, as the usual token protection prevents non-logged-in users from accessing the required form.

SQL injection vulnerabilities, producing a privilege escalation (control user).

Due to a missing validation of parameters passed to schema_export.php and pmd_pdf.php, it was possible to inject SQL statements that would run with the privileges of the control user. This gives read and write access to the tables of the configuration storage database, and if the control user has the necessary privileges, read access to some tables of the mysql database.

These vulnerabilities can be triggered only by someone who logged in to phpMyAdmin, as the usual token protection prevents non-logged-in users from accessing the required form. Moreover, a control user must have been created and configured as part of the phpMyAdmin configuration storage installation.

ISC reports:

A specially crafted query that includes malformed rdata can cause named to terminate with an assertion failure while rejecting the malformed query.

A Yarom and Falkner paper reports:

Flush+Reload is a cache side-channel attack that monitors access to data in shared pages. In this paper we demonstrate how to use the attack to extract private encryption keys from GnuPG. The high resolution and low noise of the Flush+Reload attack enables a spy program to recover over 98% of the bits of the private key in a single decryption or signing round. Unlike previous attacks, the attack targets the last level L3 cache. Consequently, the spy program and the victim do not need to share the execution core of the CPU. The attack is not limited to a traditional OS and can be used in a virtualised environment, where it can attack programs executing in a different VM.

OpenAFS Project reports:

The small size of the DES key space permits an attacker to brute force a cell's service key and then forge traffic from any user within the cell. The key space search can be performed in under 1 day at a cost of around $100 using publicly available services.

Subversion Project reports:

Subversion's mod_dav_svn Apache HTTPD server module will trigger an assertion on some requests made against a revision root. This can lead to a DoS. If assertions are disabled it will trigger a read overflow which may cause a SEGFAULT (or equivalent) or undefined behavior.

Commit access is required to exploit this.

suPHP developer Sebastian Marsching reports:

When the suPHP_PHPPath was set, mod_suphp would use the specified PHP executable to pretty-print PHP source files (MIME type x-httpd-php-source or application/x-httpd-php-source).

However, it would not sanitize the environment. Thus a user that was allowed to use the SetEnv directive in a .htaccess file (AllowOverride FileInfo) could make PHP load a malicious configuration file (e.g. loading malicious extensions).

As the PHP process for highlighting the source file was run with the privileges of the user Apache HTTPd was running as, a local attacker could probably execute arbitrary code with the privileges of this user.

Apache HTTP SERVER PROJECT reports:

mod_dav: Sending a MERGE request against a URI handled by mod_dav_svn with the source href (sent as part of the request body as XML) pointing to a URI that is not configured for DAV will trigger a segfault.

mod_session_dbd: Make sure that dirty flag is respected when saving sessions, and ensure the session ID is changed each time the session changes. This changes the format of the updatesession SQL statement. Existing configurations must be changed.

Red Hat Security Response Team reports:

Gallery upstream has released 3.0.9 version, correcting two security flaws:

Issue #1 - Improper stripping of URL fragments in flowplayer SWF file might lead to reply attacks (a different flaw than CVE-2013-2138).

Issue #2 - gallery3: Multiple information exposure flaws in data rest core module.

The PHP development team reports:

ext/xml/xml.c in PHP before 5.3.27 does not properly consider parsing depth, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted document that is processed by the xml_parse_into_struct function.

The PHP development team reports:

Integer overflow in the SdnToJewish function in jewish.c in the Calendar component in PHP before 5.3.26 and 5.4.x before 5.4.16 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application hang) via a large argument to the jdtojewish function.

Adobe reports:

These updates address vulnerabilities that could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.

Squid project reports:

Due to incorrect data validation Squid is vulnerable to a denial of service attack when processing specially crafted HTTP requests

This problem allows any client who can generate HTTP requests to perform a denial of service attack on the Squid service.

Mark Dowd reports:

Vulnerability 1. Remote Heap Overflow: If an attacker sends a packet larger than 1024 bytes that gets stored temporarily (which occurs many times - such as when sending a ZRTP Hello packet), a heap overflow will occur, leading to potential arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable host.

Vulnerability 2. Multiple Stack Overflows: ZRTPCPP contains multiple stack overflows that arise when preparing a response to a client's ZRTP Hello packet.

Vulnerability 3. Information Leaking / Out of Bounds Reads: The ZRTPCPP library performs very little validation regarding the expected size of a packet versus the actual amount of data received. This can lead to both information leaking and out of bounds data reads (usually resulting in a crash). Information leaking can be performed for example by sending a malformed ZRTP Ping packet.

Ruby Developers report:

Ruby's SSL client implements hostname identity check but it does not properly handle hostnames in the certificate that contain null bytes.

The OTRS Project reports:

An attacker with a valid agent login could manipulate URLs leading to SQL injection. An attacker with a valid agent login could manipulate URLs in the ITSM ConfigItem search, leading to a JavaScript code injection (XSS) problem.

[177197] Medium CVE-2013-2878: Out-of-bounds read in text handling. Credit to Atte Kettunen of OUSPG.

Apache HTTP SERVER PROJECT reports:

The mod_rewrite module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.x before 2.2.25 writes data to a log file without sanitizing non-printable characters, which might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via an HTTP request containing an escape sequence for a terminal emulator.

mod_dav: Sending a MERGE request against a URI handled by mod_dav_svn with the source href (sent as part of the request body as XML) pointing to a URI that is not configured for DAV will trigger a segfault.

The phpMyAdmin development team reports:

The import.php script was vulnerable to GLOBALS variable injection. Therefore, an attacker could manipulate any configuration parameter.

This vulnerability can be triggered only by someone who logged in to phpMyAdmin, as the usual token protection prevents non-logged-in users from accessing the required form.

The Apache Software Foundation reports:

The attempted fix to address CVE-2013-2154 introduced the possibility of a heap overflow, possibly leading to arbitrary code execution, in the processing of malformed XPointer expressions in the XML Signature Reference processing code.

cURL developers report:

libcurl is vulnerable to a case of bad checking of the input data which may lead to heap corruption.

The function curl_easy_unescape() decodes URL-encoded strings to raw binary data. URL-encoded octets are represented with %HH combinations where HH is a two-digit hexadecimal number. The decoded string is written to an allocated memory area that the function returns to the caller.

The function takes a source string and a length parameter, and if the length provided is 0 the function will instead use strlen() to figure out how much data to parse.

The "%HH" parser wrongly only considered the case where a zero byte would terminate the input. If a length-limited buffer was passed in which ended with a '%' character which was followed by two hexadecimal digits outside of the buffer libcurl was allowed to parse alas without a terminating zero, libcurl would still parse that sequence as well. The counter for remaining data to handle would then be decreased too much and wrap to become a very large integer and the copying would go on too long and the destination buffer that is allocated on the heap would get overwritten.

We consider it unlikely that programs allow user-provided strings unfiltered into this function. Also, only the not zero-terminated input string use case is affected by this flaw. Exploiting this flaw for gain is probably possible for specific circumstances but we consider the general risk for this to be low.

The curl command line tool is not affected by this problem as it doesn't use this function.

There are no known exploits available at this time.

Puppet Developers report:

When making REST api calls, the puppet master takes YAML from an untrusted client, deserializes it, and then calls methods on the resulting object. A YAML payload can be crafted to cause the deserialization to construct an instance of any class available in the ruby process, which allows an attacker to execute code contained in the payload.

The OTRS Project reports:

An attacker with a valid agent login could manipulate URLs in the ticket watch mechanism to see contents of tickets they are not permitted to see.

Due to insufficient permission checks in the virtual memory system, a tracing process (such as a debugger) may be able to modify portions of the traced process's address space to which the traced process itself does not have write access.

The Apache Software Foundation reports:

A heap overflow exists in the processing of the PrefixList attribute optionally used in conjunction with Exclusive Canonicalization, potentially allowing arbitary code execution. If verification of the signature occurs prior to actual evaluation of a signing key, this could be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker.

The Tor Project reports:

Disable middle relay queue overfill detection code due to possible guard discovery attack

Simon McVittie reports:

Alexandru Cornea discovered a vulnerability in libdbus caused by an implementation bug in _dbus_printf_string_upper_bound(). This vulnerability can be exploited by a local user to crash system services that use libdbus, causing denial of service. It is platform-specific: x86-64 Linux is known to be affected.

freedesktop.org reports:

Ilja van Sprundel, a security researcher with IOActive, has discovered a large number of issues in the way various X client libraries handle the responses they receive from servers, and has worked with X.Org's security team to analyze, confirm, and fix these issues.

Most of these issues stem from the client libraries trusting the server to send correct protocol data, and not verifying that the values will not overflow or cause other damage. Most of the time X clients & servers are run by the same user, with the server more privileged from the clients, so this is not a problem, but there are scenarios in which a privileged client can be connected to an unprivileged server, for instance, connecting a setuid X client (such as a screen lock program) to a virtual X server (such as Xvfb or Xephyr) which the user has modified to return invalid data, potentially allowing the user to escalate their privileges.

The vulnerabilities include:

Integer overflows calculating memory needs for replies.

Sign extension issues calculating memory needs for replies.

Buffer overflows due to not validating length or offset values in replies.

Integer overflows parsing user-specified files.

Unbounded recursion parsing user-specified files.

Memory corruption due to unchecked return values.

No advisory has been released yet.

schpw.c in the kpasswd service in kadmind in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.11.3 does not properly validate UDP packets before sending responses, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and bandwidth consumption) via a forged packet that triggers a communication loop, as demonstrated by krb_pingpong.nasl, a related issue to CVE-1999-0103. [CVE-2002-2443].

Nickolai Zeldovich reports:

An attacker with the ability to manipulate AFS directory ACLs may crash the fileserver hosting that volume. In addition, once a corrupt ACL is placed on a fileserver, its existence may crash client utilities manipulating ACLs on that server.

Subversion team reports:

Subversion's svnserve server process may exit when an incoming TCP connection is closed early in the connection process.

Subversion team reports:

The script contrib/hook-scripts/check-mime-type.pl does not escape argv arguments to 'svnlook' that start with a hyphen. This could be used to cause 'svnlook', and hence check-mime-type.pl, to error out.

The script contrib/hook-scripts/svn-keyword-check.pl parses filenames from the output of 'svnlook changed' and passes them to a further shell command (equivalent to the 'system()' call of the C standard library) without escaping them. This could be used to run arbitrary shell commands in the context of the user whom the pre-commit script runs as (the user who owns the repository).

Subversion team reports:

There is a security issue in ircii-pana in bitchx' hostname command. The e_hostname function (commands.c) uses tmpnam to create a temporary file which is known to be insecure.

Chris reports:

Chris has reported a vulnerability in the Cypress script for BitchX, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information or to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to malicious code being present in the modules/mdop.m file. This can be exploited to disclose the content of various system files or to execute arbitrary shell commands.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but requires the control of the "lsyn.webhop.net" domain.

Query parameters passed into the browser-based test suite are not sanitised, and can be used to load external resources. An attacker may execute JavaScript code in the browser, using the context of the remote user.

The OTRS Project reports:

An attacker with a valid agent login could manipulate URLs in the ticket split mechanism to see contents of tickets and they are not permitted to see.

The OTRS Project reports:

An attacker with permission to write changes, workorder items or FAQ articles could inject JavaScript code into the articles which would be executed by the browser of other users reading the article.

Thomas Sibley reports:

We discovered a number of security vulnerabilities which affect both RT 3.8.x and RT 4.0.x. We are releasing RT versions 3.8.17 and 4.0.13 to resolve these vulnerabilities, as well as patches which apply atop all released versions of 3.8 and 4.0.

The vulnerabilities addressed by 3.8.17, 4.0.13, and the below patches include the following:

RT 4.0.0 and above are vulnerable to a limited privilege escalation leading to unauthorized modification of ticket data. The DeleteTicket right and any custom lifecycle transition rights may be bypassed by any user with ModifyTicket. This vulnerability is assigned CVE-2012-4733.

RT 3.8.0 and above include a version of bin/rt that uses semi-predictable names when creating tempfiles. This could possibly be exploited by a malicious user to overwrite files with permissions of the user running bin/rt. This vulnerability is assigned CVE-2013-3368.

RT 3.8.0 and above allow calling of arbitrary Mason components (without control of arguments) for users who can see administration pages. This could be used by a malicious user to run private components which may have negative side-effects. This vulnerability is assigned CVE-2013-3369.

RT 3.8.0 and above allow direct requests to private callback components. Though no callback components ship with RT, this could be used to exploit an extension or local callback which uses the arguments passed to it insecurely. This vulnerability is assigned CVE-2013-3370.

RT 3.8.3 and above are vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) via attachment filenames. The vector is difficult to exploit due to parsing requirements. Additionally, RT 4.0.0 and above are vulnerable to XSS via maliciously-crafted "URLs" in ticket content when RT's "MakeClicky" feature is configured. Although not believed to be exploitable in the stock configuration, a patch is also included for RTIR 2.6.x to add bulletproofing. These vulnerabilities are assigned CVE-2013-3371.

RT 3.8.0 and above are vulnerable to an HTTP header injection limited to the value of the Content-Disposition header. Injection of other arbitrary response headers is not possible. Some (especially older) browsers may allow multiple Content-Disposition values which could lead to XSS. Newer browsers contain security measures to prevent this. Thank you to Dominic Hargreaves for reporting this vulnerability. This vulnerability is assigned CVE-2013-3372.

RT 3.8.0 and above are vulnerable to a MIME header injection in outgoing email generated by RT. The vectors via RT's stock templates are resolved by this patchset, but any custom email templates should be updated to ensure that values interpolated into mail headers do not contain newlines. This vulnerability is assigned CVE-2013-3373.

RT 3.8.0 and above are vulnerable to limited session re-use when using the file-based session store, Apache::Session::File. RT's default session configuration only uses Apache::Session::File for Oracle. RT instances using Oracle may be locally configured to use the database-backed Apache::Session::Oracle, in which case sessions are never re-used. The extent of session re-use is limited to information leaks of certain user preferences and caches, such as queue names available for ticket creation. Thank you to Jenny Martin for reporting the problem that lead to discovery of this vulnerability. This vulnerability is assigned CVE-2013-3374.

CVE reports:

Stack-based buffer overflow in the error function in ssg/ssgParser.cxx in PLIB 1.8.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted 3d model file that triggers a long error message, as demonstrated by a .ase file.

Secunia reports:

A vulnerability has been discovered in PLIB, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise an application using the library. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "ulSetError()" function (src/util/ulError.cxx) when creating the error message, which can be exploited to overflow a static buffer.

Successful exploitation allows the execution of arbitrary code but requires that the attacker can e.g. control the content of an overly long error message passed to the "ulSetError()" function.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.8.5. Other versions may also be affected.

Originally reported in TORCS by Andres Gomez.

strongSwan security team reports:

If the openssl plugin is used for ECDSA signature verification an empty, zeroed or otherwise invalid signature is handled as a legitimate one. Both IKEv1 and IKEv2 are affected.

Affected are only installations that have enabled and loaded the OpenSSL crypto backend (--enable-openssl). Builds using the default crypto backends are not affected.

Jenkins Security Advisory reports:

This advisory announces multiple security vulnerabilities that were found in Jenkins core.

1. SECURITY-63 / CVE-2013-2034

   This creates a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability on Jenkins master, where an anonymous attacker can trick an administrator to execute arbitrary code on Jenkins master by having him open a specifically crafted attack URL.

   There's also a related vulnerability where the permission check on this ability is done imprecisely, which may affect those who are running Jenkins instances with a custom authorization strategy plugin.

2. SECURITY-67 / CVE-2013-2033

   This creates a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability, where an attacker with a valid user account on Jenkins can execute JavaScript in the browser of other users, if those users are using certain browsers.

3. SECURITY-69 / CVE-2013-2034

   This is another CSRF vulnerability that allows an attacker to cause a deployment of binaries to Maven repositories. This vulnerability has the same CVE ID as SEUCRITY-63.

4. SECURITY-71 / CVE-2013-1808

   This creates a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

Insufficient input validation in the NFS server allows an attacker to cause the underlying file system to treat a regular file as a directory.

The phpMyAdmin development team reports:

In some PHP versions, the preg_replace() function can be tricked into executing arbitrary PHP code on the server. This is done by passing a crafted argument as the regular expression, containing a null byte. phpMyAdmin does not correctly sanitize an argument passed to preg_replace() when using the "Replace table prefix" feature, opening the way to this vulnerability..

This vulnerability can be triggered only by someone who logged in to phpMyAdmin, as the usual token protection prevents non-logged-in users to access the required form.

phpMyAdmin can be configured to save an export file on the web server, via its SaveDir directive. With this in place, it's possible, either via a crafted filename template or a crafted table name, to save a double extension file like foobar.php.sql. In turn, an Apache webserver on which there is no definition for the MIME type "sql" (the default) will treat this saved file as a ".php" script, leading to remote code execution.

This vulnerability can be triggered only by someone who logged in to phpMyAdmin, as the usual token protection prevents non-logged-in users to access the required form. Moreover, the SaveDir directive is empty by default, so a default configuration is not vulnerable. The $cfg['SaveDir'] directive must be configured, and the server must be running Apache with mod_mime to be exploitable.

tinc-vpn.org reports:

Drop packets forwarded via TCP if they are too big.

The phpMyAdmin development team reports:

When modifying a URL parameter with a crafted value it is possible to trigger an XSS.

These XSS can only be triggered when a valid database is known and when a valid cookie token is used.

RoundCube development team reports:

After getting reports about a possible vulnerability of Roundcube which allows an attacker to modify its users preferences in a way that he/she can then read files from the server, we now published updated packages as well as patches that fix this security issue.

Fedora reports:

JasPer fails to properly decode marker segments and other sections in malformed JPEG2000 files. Malformed inputs can cause heap buffer overflows which in turn may result in execution of attacker-controlled code.

Positive Technologies has reported a vulnerability in ModSecurity, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information or cause a DoS (Denial Of Serice).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when parsing external XML entities and can be exploited to e.g. disclose local files or cause excessive memory and CPU consumption.

NVIDIA Unix security team reports:

When the NVIDIA driver for the X Window System is operated in "NoScanout" mode, and an X client installs an ARGB cursor that is larger than the expected size (64x64 or 256x256, depending on the driver version), the driver will overflow a buffer. This can cause a denial of service (e.g., an X server segmentation fault), or could be exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution. Because the X server runs as setuid root in many configurations, an attacker could potentially use this vulnerability in those configurations to gain root privileges.

Opera reports:

Fixed a moderately severe issue, as reported by Attila Suszte.

Subversion team reports:

The OTRS Project reports:

An attacker with a valid agent login could manipulate URLs in the object linking mechanism to see titles of tickets and other objects that are not obliged to be seen. Furthermore, links to objects without permission can be placed and removed.

PostgreSQL project reports:

The PostgreSQL Global Development Group has released a security update to all current versions of the PostgreSQL database system, including versions 9.2.4, 9.1.9, 9.0.13, and 8.4.17. This update fixes a high-exposure security vulnerability in versions 9.0 and later. All users of the affected versions are strongly urged to apply the update *immediately*.

A major security issue (for versions 9.x only) fixed in this release, [CVE-2013-1899](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-1899), makes it possible for a connection request containing a database name that begins with "-" to be crafted that can damage or destroy files within a server's data directory. Anyone with access to the port the PostgreSQL server listens on can initiate this request. This issue was discovered by Mitsumasa Kondo and Kyotaro Horiguchi of NTT Open Source Software Center.

Two lesser security fixes are also included in this release: [CVE-2013-1900](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-1900), wherein random numbers generated by contrib/pgcrypto functions may be easy for another database user to guess (all versions), and [CVE-2013-1901](http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2013-1901), which mistakenly allows an unprivileged user to run commands that could interfere with in-progress backups (for versions 9.x only).

Firebird Project reports:

The FirebirdSQL server is vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow that can be triggered when an unauthenticated user sends a specially crafted packet. The result can lead to remote code execution as the user which runs the FirebirdSQL server.

Secunia reports:

A vulnerability has been reported in OptiPNG, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a use-after-free error related to the palette reduction functionality. No further information is currently available.

Success exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The PHP development team reports:

PHP does not validate the relationship between the soap.wsdl_cache_dir directive and the open_basedir directive, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by triggering the creation of cached SOAP WSDL files in an arbitrary directory.

The SOAP parser in PHP allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a SOAP WSDL file containing an XML external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue in the soap_xmlParseFile and soap_xmlParseMemory functions.

High-Tech Bridge Security Research Lab reports:

The CSRF vulnerability exists due to insufficient verification of the HTTP request origin in "/admin.php" script. A remote attacker can trick a logged-in administrator to visit a specially crafted webpage and create arbitrary PHP file on the remote server.

The path traversal vulnerability exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied input in "dl" HTTP GET parameter passed to "/install.php" script. The script is present on the system after installation by default, and can be accessed by attacker without any restrictions.

libexif project security advisory:

A number of remotely exploitable issues were discovered in libexif and exif, with effects ranging from information leakage to potential remote code execution.

Adobe reports:

These updates address vulnerabilities that could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.

Moses Mendoza reports:

A vulnerability found in Puppet could allow an authenticated client to cause the master to execute arbitrary code while responding to a catalog request. Specifically, in order to exploit the vulnerability, the puppet master must be made to invoke the 'template' or 'inline_template' functions during catalog compilation.

A vulnerability found in Puppet could allow an authenticated client to connect to a puppet master and perform unauthorized actions. Specifically, given a valid certificate and private key, an agent could retrieve catalogs from the master that it is not authorized to access or it could poison the puppet master's caches for any puppet-generated data that supports caching such as catalogs, nodes, facts, and resources. The extent and severity of this vulnerability varies depending on the specific configuration of the master: for example, whether it is using storeconfigs or not, which version, whether it has access to the cache or not, etc.

A vulnerability has been found in Puppet which could allow authenticated clients to execute arbitrary code on agents that have been configured to accept kick connections. This vulnerability is not present in the default configuration of puppet agents, but if they have been configured to listen for incoming connections ('listen=true'), and the agent's auth.conf has been configured to allow access to the `run` REST endpoint, then a client could construct an HTTP request which could execute arbitrary code. The severity of this issue is exacerbated by the fact that puppet agents typically run as root.

A vulnerability has been found in Puppet that could allow a client negotiating a connection to a master to downgrade the master's SSL protocol to SSLv2. This protocol has been found to contain design weaknesses. This issue only affects systems running older versions (pre 1.0.0) of openSSL. Newer versions explicitly disable SSLv2.

A vulnerability found in Puppet could allow unauthenticated clients to send requests to the puppet master which would cause it to load code unsafely. While there are no reported exploits, this vulnerability could cause issues like those described in Rails CVE-2013-0156. This vulnerability only affects puppet masters running Ruby 1.9.3 and higher.

This vulnerability affects puppet masters 0.25.0 and above. By default, auth.conf allows any authenticated node to submit a report for any other node. This can cause issues with compliance. The defaults in auth.conf have been changed.

A vulnerability found in Puppet could allow an authenticated client to execute arbitrary code on a puppet master that is running in the default configuration, or an agent with `puppet kick` enabled. Specifically, a properly authenticated and connected puppet agent could be made to construct an HTTP PUT request for an authorized report that actually causes the execution of arbitrary code on the master.

This vulnerability affects puppet masters 0.25.0 and above. By default, auth.conf allows any authenticated node to submit a report for any other node. This can cause issues with compliance. The defaults in auth.conf have been changed.

Perl developers report:

In order to prevent an algorithmic complexity attack against its hashing mechanism, perl will sometimes recalculate keys and redistribute the contents of a hash. This mechanism has made perl robust against attacks that have been demonstrated against other systems.

Research by Yves Orton has recently uncovered a flaw in the rehashing code which can result in pathological behavior. This flaw could be exploited to carry out a denial of service attack against code that uses arbitrary user input as hash keys.

Because using user-provided strings as hash keys is a very common operation, we urge users of perl to update their perl executable as soon as possible.

Typo Security Team reports:

Extbase Framework - Failing to sanitize user input, the Extbase database abstraction layer is susceptible to SQL Injection. TYPO3 sites which have no Extbase extensions installed are not affected. Extbase extensions are affected if they use the Query Object Model and relation values are user generated input. Credits go to Helmut Hummel and Markus Opahle who discovered and reported the issue.

Access tracking mechanism - Failing to validate user provided input, the access tracking mechanism allows redirects to arbitrary URLs. To fix this vulnerability, we had to break existing behaviour of TYPO3 sites that use the access tracking mechanism (jumpurl feature) to transform links to external sites. The link generation has been changed to include a hash that is checked before redirecting to an external URL. This means that old links that have been distributed (e.g. by a newsletter) will not work any more.

low: XSS due to unescaped hostnames CVE-2012-3499

Various XSS flaws due to unescaped hostnames and URIs HTML output in mod_info, mod_status, mod_imagemap, mod_ldap, and mod_proxy_ftp.

moderate: XSS in mod_proxy_balancer CVE-2012-4558

A XSS flaw affected the mod_proxy_balancer manager interface.

Todd Miller reports:

The flaw may allow someone with physical access to a machine that is not password-protected to run sudo commands without knowing the logged in user's password. On systems where sudo is the principal way of running commands as root, such as on Ubuntu and Mac OS X, there is a greater chance that the logged in user has run sudo before and thus that an attack would succeed.

Todd Miller reports:

A (potentially malicious) program run by a user with sudo access may be able to bypass the "tty_ticket" constraints. In order for this to succeed there must exist on the machine a terminal device that the user has previously authenticated themselves on via sudo within the last time stamp timeout (5 minutes by default).

Mark Evans reports:

Unfortnately there is a security vulnerability in Dragonfly when used with Rails which would potentially allow an attacker to run arbitrary code on a host machine using carefully crafted requests.

Affected by this vulnerability are all releases of OTRS 2.4.x up to and including 2.4.12, 3.0.x up to and including 3.0.14 and 3.1.x up to and including 3.1.8 in combination with Internet Explorer.

Ruby developers report:

Unrestricted entity expansion can lead to a DoS vulnerability in REXML. (The CVE identifier will be assigned later.) We strongly recommend to upgrade ruby.

When reading text nodes from an XML document, the REXML parser can be coerced in to allocating extremely large string objects which can consume all of the memory on a machine, causing a denial of service.

Michael Scherer reports:

This is a relatively minor tmp file usage issue.

The Django Project reports:

These security releases fix four issues: one potential phishing vector, one denial-of-service vector, an information leakage issue, and a range of XML vulnerabilities.

1. Host header poisoning

   an attacker could cause Django to generate and display URLs that link to arbitrary domains. This could be used as part of a phishing attack. These releases fix this problem by introducing a new setting, ALLOWED_HOSTS, which specifies a whitelist of domains your site is known to respond to.

   Important: by default Django 1.3.6 and 1.4.4 set ALLOWED_HOSTS to allow all hosts. This means that to actually fix the security vulnerability you should define this setting yourself immediately after upgrading.

2. Formset denial-of-service

   an attacker can abuse Django's tracking of the number of forms in a formset to cause a denial-of-service attack. This has been fixed by adding a default maximum number of forms of 1,000. You can still manually specify a bigger max_num, if you wish, but 1,000 should be enough for anyone.

3. XML attacks

   Django's serialization framework was vulnerable to attacks via XML entity expansion and external references; this is now fixed. However, if you're parsing arbitrary XML in other parts of your application, we recommend you look into the defusedxml Python packages which remedy this anywhere you parse XML, not just via Django's serialization framework.

4. Data leakage via admin history log

   Django's admin interface could expose supposedly-hidden information via its history log. This has been fixed.

Problem description:

Due to a software defect a crafted query can cause named(8) to crash with an assertion failure.

Drupal Security Team reports:

Drupal core's Image module allows for the on-demand generation of image derivatives. This capability can be abused by requesting a large number of new derivatives which can fill up the server disk space, and which can cause a very high CPU load. Either of these effects may lead to the site becoming unavailable or unresponsive.

Garth Mollett reports:

A file descriptor overflow issue in the use of FD_SET() in nss-pam-ldapd can lead to a stack-based buffer overflow. An attacker could, under some circumstances, use this flaw to cause a process that has the NSS or PAM module loaded to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code.

A Bugzilla Security Advisory reports:

Cross-Site Scripting

When viewing a single bug report, which is the default, the bug ID is validated and rejected if it is invalid. But when viewing several bug reports at once, which is specified by the format=multiple parameter, invalid bug IDs can go through and are sanitized in the HTML page itself. But when an invalid page format is passed to the CGI script, the wrong HTML page is called and data are not correctly sanitized, which can lead to XSS.

Information Leak

When running a query in debug mode, the generated SQL query used to collect the data is displayed. The way this SQL query is built permits the user to determine if some confidential field value (such as a product name) exists. This problem only affects Bugzilla 4.0.9 and older. Newer releases are not affected by this issue.

Aaron Patterson reports:

The attr_protected method allows developers to specify a blacklist of model attributes which users should not be allowed to assign to. By using a specially crafted request, attackers could circumvent this protection and alter values that were meant to be protected.

All users running an affected release should either upgrade or use one of the work arounds immediately. Users should also consider switching from attr_protected to the whitelist method attr_accessible which is not vulnerable to this attack.

Jenkins Security Advisory reports:

This advisory announces multiple security vulnerabilities that were found in Jenkins core.

1. One of the vulnerabilities allows cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks on Jenkins master, which causes an user to make unwanted actions on Jenkins. Another vulnerability enables cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, which has the similar consequence. Another vulnerability allowed an attacker to bypass the CSRF protection mechanism in place, thereby mounting more CSRF attackes. These attacks allow an attacker without direct access to Jenkins to mount an attack.
2. In the fourth vulnerability, a malicious user of Jenkins can trick Jenkins into building jobs that he does not have direct access to.
3. And lastly, a vulnerability allows a malicious user of Jenkins to mount a denial of service attack by feeding a carefully crafted payload to Jenkins.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities

Multiple scripts are vulnerable to XSS attacks.

Aaron Patterson reports:

When parsing certain JSON documents, the JSON gem can be coerced in to creating Ruby symbols in a target system. Since Ruby symbols are not garbage collected, this can result in a denial of service attack.

The same technique can be used to create objects in a target system that act like internal objects. These "act alike" objects can be used to bypass certain security mechanisms and can be used as a spring board for SQL injection attacks in Ruby on Rails.

Ruby developers report:

RDoc documentation generated by rdoc bundled with ruby are vulnerable to an XSS exploit. All ruby users are recommended to update ruby to newer version which includes security-fixed RDoc. If you are publishing RDoc documentation generated by rdoc, you are recommended to apply a patch for the documentaion or re-generate it with security-fixed RDoc.

Adobe reports:

These updates address vulnerabilities that could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.

OpenSSL security team reports:

A flaw in the OpenSSL handling of CBC mode ciphersuites in TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 on AES-NI supporting platforms can be exploited in a DoS attack.

A flaw in the OpenSSL handling of OCSP response verification can be exploited in a denial of service attack.

ORACLE reports:

Opera reports:

Particular DOM event manipulations can cause Opera to crash. In some cases, this crash might occur in a way that allows execution of arbitrary code. To inject code, additional techniques would have to be employed.

Project changelog reports:

This patch addresses three possible buffer overflows in function unique_service_name().The three issues have the folowing CVE numbers:

• CVE-2012-5958 Issue #2: Stack buffer overflow of Tempbuf
• CVE-2012-5959 Issue #4: Stack buffer overflow of Event->UDN
• CVE-2012-5960 Issue #8: Stack buffer overflow of Event->UDN

Notice that the following issues have already been dealt by previous work:

• CVE-2012-5961 Issue #1: Stack buffer overflow of Evt->UDN
• CVE-2012-5962 Issue #3: Stack buffer overflow of Evt->DeviceType
• CVE-2012-5963 Issue #5: Stack buffer overflow of Event->UDN
• CVE-2012-5964 Issue #6: Stack buffer overflow of Event->DeviceType
• CVE-2012-5965 Issue #7: Stack buffer overflow of Event->DeviceType

Wordpress reports:

WordPress 3.5.1 also addresses the following security issues:

• A server-side request forgery vulnerability and remote port scanning using pingbacks. This vulnerability, which could potentially be used to expose information and compromise a site, affects all previous WordPress versions. This was fixed by the WordPress security team. We'd like to thank security researchers Gennady Kovshenin and Ryan Dewhurst for reviewing our work.
• Two instances of cross-site scripting via shortcodes and post content. These issues were discovered by Jon Cave of the WordPress security team.
• A cross-site scripting vulnerability in the external library Plupload. Thanks to the Moxiecode team for working with us on this, and for releasing Plupload 1.5.5 to address this issue.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability

Jonas Obrist reports: The security issue allows users with limited admin access to elevate their privileges through XSS injection using the page_attribute template tag. Only users with admin access and the permission to edit at least one django CMS page object could exploit this vulnerability. Websites that do not use the page_attribute template tag are not affected.

US CERT reports:

Java 7 Update 10 and earlier versions of Java 7 contain a vulnerability that can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.

The Java JRE plug-in provides its own Security Manager. Typically, a web applet runs with a security manager provided by the browser or Java Web Start plugin. Oracle's document states, "If there is a security manager already installed, this method first calls the security manager's checkPermission method with a RuntimePermission("setSecurityManager") permission to ensure it's safe to replace the existing security manager. This may result in throwing a SecurityException".

By leveraging the vulnerability in the Java Management Extensions (JMX) MBean components, unprivileged Java code can access restricted classes. By using that vulnerability in conjunction with a second vulnerability involving the Reflection API and the invokeWithArguments method of the MethodHandle class, an untrusted Java applet can escalate its privileges by calling the the setSecurityManager() function to allow full privileges, without requiring code signing. Oracle Java 7 update 10 and earlier Java 7 versions are affected. The invokeWithArguments method was introduced with Java 7, so therefore Java 6 is not affected.

This vulnerability is being attacked in the wild, and is reported to be incorporated into exploit kits. Exploit code for this vulnerability is also publicly available.

Esteban Guillardoy from Immunity Inc. additionally clarifies on the recursive reflection exploitation technique:

The real issue is in the native sun.reflect.Reflection.getCallerClass method.

We can see the following information in the Reflection source code:

Returns the class of the method realFramesToSkip frames up the stack (zero-based), ignoring frames associated with java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke() and its implementation.

So what is happening here is that they forgot to skip the frames related to the new Reflection API and only the old reflection API is taken into account.

This exploit does not only affect Java applets, but every piece of software that relies on the Java Security Manager for sandboxing executable code is affected: malicious code can totally disable Security Manager.

For users who are running native Web browsers with enabled Java plugin, the workaround is to remove the java/icedtea-web port and restart all browser instances.

For users who are running Linux Web browser flavors, the workaround is either to disable the Java plugin in browser or to upgrade linux-sun-* packages to the non-vulnerable version.

It is not recommended to run untrusted applets using appletviewer, since this may lead to the execution of the malicious code on vulnerable versions on JDK/JRE.

Ruby on Rails team reports:

Two high-risk vulnerabilities have been discovered:

(CVE-2013-0155) There is a vulnerability when Active Record is used in conjunction with JSON parameter parsing.

Due to the way Active Record interprets parameters in combination with the way that JSON parameters are parsed, it is possible for an attacker to issue unexpected database queries with "IS NULL" or empty "WHERE" clauses. This issue does not let an attacker insert arbitrary values into an SQL query, however they can cause the query to check for NULL or eliminate a WHERE clause when most users would not expect it.

(CVE-2013-0156) There are multiple weaknesses in the parameter parsing code for Ruby on Rails which allows attackers to bypass authentication systems, inject arbitrary SQL, inject and execute arbitrary code, or perform a DoS attack on a Rails application.

The parameter parsing code of Ruby on Rails allows applications to automatically cast values from strings to certain data types. Unfortunately the type casting code supported certain conversions which were not suitable for performing on user-provided data including creating Symbols and parsing YAML. These unsuitable conversions can be used by an attacker to compromise a Rails application.

Ruby on Rails team reports:

There is a SQL injection vulnerability in Active Record in ALL versions. Due to the way dynamic finders in Active Record extract options from method parameters, a method parameter can mistakenly be used as a scope. Carefully crafted requests can use the scope to inject arbitrary SQL.

Jenkins Security Advisory reports:

This advisory announces a security vulnerability that was found in Jenkins core.

An attacker can then use this master cryptographic key to mount remote code execution attack against the Jenkins master, or impersonate arbitrary users in making REST API calls.

There are several factors that mitigate some of these problems that may apply to specific installations.

• The particular attack vector is only applicable on Jenkins instances that have slaves attached to them, and allow anonymous read access.
• Jenkins allows users to re-generate the API tokens. Those re-generated API tokens cannot be impersonated by the attacker.

The Django Project reports:

1. Host header poisoning

   Several earlier Django security releases focused on the issue of poisoning the HTTP Host header, causing Django to generate URLs pointing to arbitrary, potentially-malicious domains.

   In response to further input received and reports of continuing issues following the previous release, we're taking additional steps to tighten Host header validation. Rather than attempt to accommodate all features HTTP supports here, Django's Host header validation attempts to support a smaller, but far more common, subset:

   • Hostnames must consist of characters [A-Za-z0-9] plus hyphen ('-') or dot ('.').
   • IP addresses -- both IPv4 and IPv6 -- are permitted.
   • Port, if specified, is numeric.

   Any deviation from this will now be rejected, raising the exception django.core.exceptions.SuspiciousOperation.

2. Redirect poisoning

   Also following up on a previous issue: in July of this year, we made changes to Django's HTTP redirect classes, performing additional validation of the scheme of the URL to redirect to (since, both within Django's own supplied applications and many third-party applications, accepting a user-supplied redirect target is a common pattern).

   Since then, two independent audits of the code turned up further potential problems. So, similar to the Host-header issue, we are taking steps to provide tighter validation in response to reported problems (primarily with third-party applications, but to a certain extent also within Django itself). This comes in two parts:

   1. A new utility function, django.utils.http.is_safe_url, is added; this function takes a URL and a hostname, and checks that the URL is either relative, or if absolute matches the supplied hostname. This function is intended for use whenever user-supplied redirect targets are accepted, to ensure that such redirects cannot lead to arbitrary third-party sites.
   2. All of Django's own built-in views -- primarily in the authentication system -- which allow user-supplied redirect targets now use is_safe_url to validate the supplied URL.

The FreeType Project reports:

Some vulnerabilities in the BDF implementation have been fixed. Users of this font format should upgrade.

MoinMoin developers report the following vulnerabilities as fixed in version 1.9.6:

• remote code execution vulnerability in twikidraw/anywikidraw action,
• path traversal vulnerability in AttachFile action,
• XSS issue, escape page name in rss link.

CVE entries at MITRE furher clarify:

Multiple unrestricted file upload vulnerabilities in the (1) twikidraw (action/twikidraw.py) and (2) anywikidraw (action/anywikidraw.py) actions in MoinMoin before 1.9.6 allow remote authenticated users with write permissions to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with an executable extension, then accessing it via a direct request to the file in an unspecified directory, as exploited in the wild in July 2012.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the _do_attachment_move function in the AttachFile action (action/AttachFile.py) in MoinMoin 1.9.3 through 1.9.5 allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a file name.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the rsslink function in theme/__init__.py in MoinMoin 1.9.5 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the page name in a rss link.
