Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1737)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences within the "Extract-Zip" function from the "win_unzip" module. A local user can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


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

The vulnerability exists due to password being exposed to local users when a password is set with the argument "password" of svn module. A local user can read the cmdline file from that particular PID on the procfs and obtain the password.
