Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Memory corruption
EUVDB-ID: #VU5310
Risk: Critical
CVSSv3.1: 9.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-6277
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect parsing of environment variables. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system as demonstrated by vectors involving the ForceCommand feature in OpenSSH sshd, the mod_cgi and mod_cgid modules in the Apache HTTP Server, scripts executed by unspecified DHCP clients, and other situations in which setting the environment occurs across a privilege boundary from Bash execution. The vulnerability was introduced by incorrect patching of vulnerabilities #1 (CVE-2014-6271) and #2 (CVE-2014-7169).
Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system.
Note: this vulnerability was being actively exploited in the wild.
Mitigation
Install update from vendor's website.

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. However, a fully functional exploit for this vulnerability is available.
2) Memory corruption
EUVDB-ID: #VU5327
Risk: Critical
CVSSv3.1: 9.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-7186
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to out-of-bounds memory access while handling multiple "<<EOF" declarations. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.
Exploitation example:
bash -c 'true <<EOF <<EOF <<EOF <<EOF <<EOF <<EOF <<EOF <<EOF <<EOF <<EOF <<EOF <<EOF <<EOF <<EOF' || echo "CVE-2014-7186 vulnerable, redir_stack"
Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system.
Note: this vulnerability was being actively exploited.

3) Off-by-one error
EUVDB-ID: #VU5328
Risk: Critical
CVSSv3.1: 9.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:F/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2014-7187
CWE-ID:
CWE-193 - Off-by-one Error
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to off-by-one-error when handling deeply nested flow control constructs. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.
Exploitation example:
(for x in {1..200} ; do echo "for x$x in ; do :"; done; for x in {1..200} ; do echo done ; done) | bash ||
echo "CVE-2014-7187 vulnerable, word_lineno"
Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution on the vulnerable system.
Note: this vulnerability was being actively exploited.
