Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7071)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of URL performed via the "FILTER_VALIDATE_URL" setting. A remote attacker can use the "@" characters in the URL to bypass implemented filter and force the application to accept arbitrary URL instead of the defined by the option.

Example:

http://evel.website@trusted.website


2) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21704)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Multiple boundary errors exists within firebird_info_cb(), firebird_handle_doer(), firebird_stmt_execute(), and firebird_fetch_blob() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


3) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21705)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request, bypass the FILTER_VALIDATE_URL and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
