TITLE

Apache HTTP Server Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities

DESCRIPTION

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the balancer_handler function in the manager interface in mod_proxy_balancer.c in the mod_proxy_balancer module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.x before 2.2.24-dev and 2.4.x before 2.4.4 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted string. An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may let the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. Apache HTTP Server versions prior to 2.4.4 are vulnerable. CVE-2012-3499 The modules mod_info, mod_status, mod_imagemap, mod_ldap, and mod_proxy_ftp did not properly escape hostnames and URIs in HTML output, causing cross site scripting vulnerabilities. CVE-2012-4558 Mod_proxy_balancer did not properly escape hostnames and URIs in its balancer-manager interface, causing a cross site scripting vulnerability. CVE-2013-1048 Hayawardh Vijayakumar noticed that the apache2ctl script created the lock directory in an unsafe manner, allowing a local attacker to gain elevated privileges via a symlink attack. For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 2.2.16-6+squeeze11. For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems will be fixed in version 2.2.22-13. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed in version 2.2.22-13. We recommend that you upgrade your apache2 packages. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.0.1 update Advisory ID: RHSA-2013:1013-01 Product: Red Hat JBoss Web Server Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1013.html Issue date: 2013-07-03 CVE Names: CVE-2012-3499 CVE-2012-3544 CVE-2012-4558 CVE-2013-0166 CVE-2013-0169 CVE-2013-2067 CVE-2013-2071 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.0.1, which fixes multiple security issues and several bugs, is now available from the Red Hat Customer Portal for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6, Solaris, and Microsoft Windows. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. 2. Description: Red Hat JBoss Web Server is a fully integrated and certified set of components for hosting Java web applications. It is comprised of the Apache HTTP Server, the Apache Tomcat Servlet container, Apache Tomcat Connector (mod_jk), JBoss HTTP Connector (mod_cluster), Hibernate, and the Tomcat Native library. This release serves as a replacement for Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.0.0, and includes several bug fixes. An attacker could possibly use these flaws to perform XSS attacks if they were able to make the victim's browser generate an HTTP request with a specially-crafted Host header. (CVE-2012-3499) A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the OCSP response verification in OpenSSL. A malicious OCSP server could use this flaw to crash applications performing OCSP verification by sending a specially-crafted response. (CVE-2013-0166) It was discovered that OpenSSL leaked timing information when decrypting TLS/SSL and DTLS protocol encrypted records when CBC-mode cipher suites were used. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to retrieve plain text from the encrypted packets by using a TLS/SSL or DTLS server as a padding oracle. (CVE-2013-0169) Note: CVE-2013-0166 and CVE-2013-0169 were only corrected in the packages for Solaris and Windows. Updates for Red Hat Enterprise Linux can be downloaded from the Red Hat Network. A session fixation flaw was found in the Tomcat FormAuthenticator module. During a narrow window of time, if a remote attacker sent requests while a user was logging in, it could possibly result in the attacker's requests being processed as if they were sent by the user. (CVE-2013-2067) A denial of service flaw was found in the way the Tomcat chunked transfer encoding input filter processed CRLF sequences. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send an excessively long request, consuming network bandwidth, CPU, and memory on the Tomcat server. Chunked transfer encoding is enabled by default. (CVE-2012-3544) A flaw was found in the way the Tomcat 7 asynchronous context implementation performed request management in certain circumstances. If an application used AsyncListeners and threw RuntimeExceptions, Tomcat could send a reply that contains information from a different user's request, possibly leading to the disclosure of sensitive information. This issue only affected Tomcat 7. (CVE-2013-2071) Warning: Before applying the update, back up your existing Red Hat JBoss Web Server installation (including all applications and configuration files). All users of Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.0.0 as provided from the Red Hat Customer Portal are advised to upgrade to Red Hat JBoss Web Server 2.0.1, which corrects these issues. 3. Solution: The References section of this erratum contains a download link (you must log in to download the update). Before applying the update, back up your existing Red Hat JBoss Web Server installation (including all applications and configuration files). 4.

With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data (such as passwords), within the same domain. (CVE-2012-3499, CVE-2012-4558) It was discovered that the mod_proxy_ajp module incorrectly handled error states. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the server to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Ubuntu 11.10. (CVE-2012-4557) It was discovered that the apache2ctl script shipped in Ubuntu packages incorrectly created the lock directory. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to gain privileges. The symlink protections in Ubuntu 11.10 and later should reduce this vulnerability to a denial of service. (CVE-2013-1048) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 12.10: apache2.2-common 2.2.22-6ubuntu2.2 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: apache2.2-common 2.2.22-1ubuntu1.3 Ubuntu 11.10: apache2.2-common 2.2.20-1ubuntu1.4 Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: apache2.2-common 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.11 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: apache2.2-common 2.2.8-1ubuntu0.25 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes
