Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) HTTP response splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38709)
CWE-ID: CWE-113 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers ('HTTP Response Splitting')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
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 malicious or exploitable backend/content generators can send specially crafted response 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.
2) HTTP response splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24795)
CWE-ID: CWE-113 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers ('HTTP Response Splitting')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP splitting attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to software does not correctly process CRLF character sequences in multiple modules. A remote attacker can inject malicious response headers into backend applications and perform an HTTP desynchronization attack.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker perform cache poisoning attack.
