Debian update for apache2

1) Authentication bypass

EUVDB-ID: #VU7115

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3167

CWE-ID: CWE-592 - Authentication Bypass Issues

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of the ap_get_basic_auth_pw() function by third-party modules outside of the authentication phase. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted HTTP request to vulnerable web server, bypass authentication requirements and gain unauthorized access to otherwise protected information.

Mitigation

Update the affected package to version: 2.4.10-10+deb8u9, 2.4.25-3+deb9u1, 2.4.25-4

Vulnerable software versions

Debian Linux: All versions

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) NULL pointer dereference

EUVDB-ID: #VU7116

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3169

CWE-ID: CWE-592 - Authentication Bypass Issues

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within mod_ssl module, when third-party modules call ap_hook_process_connection() function during an HTTP request to an HTTPS port. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and crash the affected web server.

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability. However, proof of concept for this vulnerability is available.

3) NULL pointer dereference

EUVDB-ID: #VU7118

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7659

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within mod_http2. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 request and crash the affected process.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability result in denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package to version: 2.4.10-10+deb8u9, 2.4.25-3+deb9u1, 2.4.25-4

4) Out-of-bound read

EUVDB-ID: #VU7117

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7668

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

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error when processing token lists within ap_find_token() function. A remote unauthenticated attacker can create a specially crafted sequence of HTTP headers and refer to data past the end of the search string. 

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability results segmentation fault and web server crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected package to version: 2.4.10-10+deb8u9, 2.4.25-3+deb9u1, 2.4.25-4
