Synopsis

An application running on the remote web server is affected by an error message spoofing vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the version of Splunk Enterprise running on the remote web server is 5.0.x prior to 5.0.19, 6.0.x prior to 6.0.15, 6.1.x prior to 6.1.14, 6.2.x prior to 6.2.14, or 6.3.x prior to 6.3.11. It is, therefore, affected by an error message spoofing vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to spoof the contents of error messages.

Solution

Upgrade to Splunk Enterprise version 5.0.19 / 6.0.15 / 6.1.14 / 6.2.14 / 6.3.11 or later.
