Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.

1) Security restrictions bypass

EUVDB-ID: #VU53780

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17567

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to unspecified error within the mod_proxy_wstunnel and mod_proxy_http modules. If mod_proxy_wstunnel is configured on an URL that is not necessarily Upgraded by the origin server and is tunneling the whole connection regardless, thus allowing for subsequent requests on the same connection to pass through with no HTTP validation, authentication or authorization possibly configured.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
