Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.

1) Denial of service

EUVDB-ID: #VU4170

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2016-2569

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper appending of data to String objects. A remote attacker can use a long string, as demonstrated by a crafted HTTP Vary header, trigger assertion failure and daemon exit and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected package squid3 to the latest version.

Vulnerable software versions

Ubuntu: 16.04

squid (Ubuntu package): before Ubuntu Pro (Infra-only)

External links

http://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-5771-1


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Memory corruption

EUVDB-ID: #VU4171

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2016-2570

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in the Edge Side Includes (ESI) parser due to improper checking of buffer limits during XML parsing. A remote attacker can use a specially crafted XML document, related to esi/CustomParser.cc and esi/CustomParser.h, as demonstrated by a crafted HTTP Vary header, trigger assertion failure and daemon exit and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected package squid3 to the latest version.
