Splunk Enterprise 5.0.x < 5.0.10 / 6.1.x < 6.1.4 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 79724

Synopsis

The remote web server contains an application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its version number, the Splunk Enterprise hosted on the remote web server is 5.0.x prior to 5.0.10 or 6.1.x prior to 6.1.4. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- The included OpenSSL library contains a TLS downgrade weakness. By using fragmented ClientHello messages, a remote man-in-the-middle attacker can force downgrading to TLS 1.0. (CVE-2014-3511)

- A cross-site scripting flaw exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input to the HTTP referrer header. A remote attacker can exploit this, using a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in the user's browser session within the trust relationship. Note that this only affects the 5.0.x branch. (CVE-2014-8301)

- A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists within the Dashboard due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this, using a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in the user's browser session within the trust relationship. (CVE-2014-8302)

- A cross-site scripting vulnerabilities exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input when parsing events. This allows a remote attacker, using a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in the user's browser session within the trust relationship.
(CVE-2014-8303)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Splunk Enterprise 6.1.4 or later.
