Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1303)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in Apache HTTPD mod_cache_socache due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request header, trigger an out-of-bounds memory read error in mod_cache_socache and cause the target service to crash.
2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1301)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to trigger an out-of-bounds memory access error after a header size limit has been reached to cause the target service to crash.
3) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1312)
CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.
The weakness exists in Apache HTTPD mod_auth_digest due to improper generation of HTTP Digest authentication nonce. A remote attacker can replay HTTP requests across the cluster without detection by the target server(s) and bypass replay protection.
4) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15715)
CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.
The weakness exists on systems that allow uploading of user-specified filenames due to the '<FilesMatch>' expression may not correctly match characters in a filename. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted filename to potentially bypass security controls that use the '<FilesMatch>' directive.
5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15710)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in HTTPD mod_authnz_ldap due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted Accept-Language header value, trigger an out-of-bounds memory write error and potentially cause the target service to crash.
6) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1283)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify data on the target system.
The weakness exists on systems with mod_session configured with SessionEnv on to forward session data to CGI applications due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted 'Session' header value to potentially modify mod_session data.
