Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7068)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the "phar_parse_zipfile" function. A remote attacker can can cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on the target system.
2) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7069)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the openssl_encrypt() function generates a wrong ciphertext and a wrong tag for AES-CCM for a 12 bytes IV. As a result, a 7-byte nonce is used instead of 12 bytes. A remote attacker can abuse such behavior and decrypt data.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7070)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists in the way PHP parser handles cookies with percent character (e.g. '%'). A remote attacker can send a crafted HTTP request with a `__%48ost-` or `__%53ecure-` cookie that will be processed before other cookies sent in the same request. As a result, an attacker can set malicious `__Host-` cookie on a subdomain and bypass origin restrictions, imposed by browsers.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to perform a spoofing attack.
4) 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
5) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21702)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the SoapClient in PHP. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) 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.
