Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) HTTP response splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-42516)
CWE-ID: CWE-113 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers ('HTTP Response Splitting')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:L/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
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 with ability to manipulate the Content-Type response headers of applications hosted or proxied by the server 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.
Note, this vulnerability exists due a missing fix for #VU88151 (CVE-2023-38709).
