TITLE

Apache HTTP Server of mod_proxy_balancer Module cross-site scripting vulnerability

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 Note: the current version of the following document is available here: https://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/ docDisplay?docId=emr_na-c03734195 SUPPORT COMMUNICATION - SECURITY BULLETIN Document ID: c03734195 Version: 1 HPSBUX02866 SSRT101139 rev.1 - HP-UX Running Apache, Remote Denial of Service (DoS), Execution of Arbitrary Code and other vulnerabilities NOTICE: The information in this Security Bulletin should be acted upon as soon as possible.

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. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 907589 - CVE-2013-0169 SSL/TLS: CBC padding timing attack (lucky-13) 908052 - CVE-2013-0166 openssl: DoS due to improper handling of OCSP response verification 915883 - CVE-2012-3499 httpd: multiple XSS flaws due to unescaped hostnames 915884 - CVE-2012-4558 httpd: XSS flaw in mod_proxy_balancer manager interface 961779 - CVE-2013-2067 tomcat: Session fixation in form authenticator 961783 - CVE-2012-3544 tomcat: Limited DoS in chunked transfer encoding input filter 961803 - CVE-2013-2071 tomcat: Information disclosure in asynchronous context when using AsyncListeners that threw RuntimeExceptions 5.

(CVE-2012-4558) A flaw was found in the way the mod_dav module handled merge requests. (CVE-2013-1896) A flaw was found in the way Apache Santuario XML Security for Java validated XML signatures. Santuario allowed a signature to specify an arbitrary canonicalization algorithm, which would be applied to the SignedInfo XML fragment. A remote attacker could exploit this to spoof an XML signature via a specially-crafted XML signature block. (CVE-2013-2172) It was found that mod_rewrite did not filter terminal escape sequences from its log file. If a victim viewed the log file with a terminal emulator, it could result in arbitrary command execution with the privileges of that user. (CVE-2013-1862) The data file used by PicketBox Vault to store encrypted passwords contains a copy of its own admin key. The file is encrypted using only this admin key, not the corresponding JKS key. A local attacker with permission to read the vault data file could read the admin key from the file, and use it to decrypt the file and read the stored passwords in clear text. This could be exploited to read diagnostic information (information disclosure) and attain limited remote code execution. The JBoss server process must be restarted for this update to take effect. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
