Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3531)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing HTTP GET requests. A remote attacker can send a request to the swift URL that ends with two slashes it can cause the rgw to crash.


2) HTTP response splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3524)

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

CVSSv4: 5.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP splitting attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to software does not correctly process CRLF character sequences. A remote attacker can send specially crafted request containing CRLF sequence and make the application to send a split HTTP response.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker perform cache poisoning attack.


3) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3979)

CWE-ID: CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

CVSSv4: 5.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to Ceph volume does not the honour osd_dmcrypt_key_size, resulting in the key length is being incorrectly passed in an encryption algorithm to create a non random key. An attacker with physical access to encrypted device can decrypt data and gain access to sensitive information.
