Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Session Fixation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11385)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

An issue was discovered in the Security component in Symfony 2.7.x before 2.7.48, 2.8.x before 2.8.41, 3.3.x before 3.3.17, 3.4.x before 3.4.11, and 4.0.x before 4.0.11. A session fixation vulnerability within the "Guard" login feature may allow an attacker to impersonate a victim towards the web application if the session id value was previously known to the attacker.


2) Insufficient Session Expiration (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11386)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

An issue was discovered in the HttpFoundation component in Symfony 2.7.x before 2.7.48, 2.8.x before 2.8.41, 3.3.x before 3.3.17, 3.4.x before 3.4.11, and 4.0.x before 4.0.11. The PDOSessionHandler class allows storing sessions on a PDO connection. Under some configurations and with a well-crafted payload, it was possible to do a denial of service on a Symfony application without too much resources.


3) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11406)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site request forgery attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the HTTP request origin. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted web page and perform arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim on the vulnerable website, such as be disabled through the invalidate_session option. In this case, CSRF tokens were not erased during logout which allowed for CSRF token fixation.


4) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11408)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

The security handlers in the Security component in Symfony in 2.7.x before 2.7.48, 2.8.x before 2.8.41, 3.3.x before 3.3.17, 3.4.x before 3.4.11, and 4.0.x before 4.0.11 have an Open redirect vulnerability when security.http_utils is inlined by a container. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-16652.
