Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) HTTP response splitting

EUVDB-ID: #VU11537

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17742

CWE-ID: CWE-113 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers ('HTTP Response Splitting')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP response splitting attack.

The weakness exists due to improper handling of HTTP requests. If a script accepts an external input and outputs it without modification as a part of HTTP responses, a remote attacker can use newline characters to trick the victim that the HTTP response header is stopped at there and inject fake HTTP responses after the newline characters to show malicious contents to the victim.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
