Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests

EUVDB-ID: #VU22597

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-18277

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attack.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of messages with a missing transfer-encoding header, when HAProxy is configured in legacy mode. The server does not reject "chunked" value that combined with the "http-reuse always" setting can lead to HTTP request smuggling attack.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions

rh-haproxy18-haproxy (Red Hat package): 1.8.4-3.el7 - 1.8.17-1.el7

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) CRLF injection

EUVDB-ID: #VU23084

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-19330

CWE-ID: CWE-93 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing CRLF and NUL character in the HTTP request, while converting headers from HTTP/2 to HTTP/1. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 request to the HAProxy and inject arbitrary HTTP headers. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to bypass certain security restrictions or perform spoofing attacks.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
