The multipart_init function in (1) CGI.pm before 3.50 and (2) Simple.pm in CGI::Simple 1.112 and earlier uses a hardcoded value of the MIME boundary string in multipart/x-mixed-replace content, which allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via crafted input that contains this value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3172.

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2011-0558 advisory.

  - The multipart_init function in (1) CGI.pm before 3.50 and (2) Simple.pm in CGI::Simple 1.112 and earlier     uses a hardcoded value of the MIME boundary string in multipart/x-mixed-replace content, which allows     remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via crafted     input that contains this value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3172. (CVE-2010-2761)

  - CRLF injection vulnerability in the header function in (1) CGI.pm before 3.50 and (2) Simple.pm in     CGI::Simple 1.112 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP     response splitting attacks via vectors related to non-whitespace characters preceded by newline     characters, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2761 and CVE-2010-3172. (CVE-2010-4410)

  - The (1) lc, (2) lcfirst, (3) uc, and (4) ucfirst functions in Perl 5.10.x, 5.11.x, and 5.12.x through     5.12.3, and 5.13.x through 5.13.11, do not apply the taint attribute to the return value upon processing     tainted input, which might allow context-dependent attackers to bypass the taint protection mechanism via     a crafted string. (CVE-2011-1487)

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

SunOS 5.10: Apache 2 mod_perl Perl cgi pat.
Date this patch was last updated by Sun : Apr/20/11

The remote VMware ESX / ESXi host is missing a security-related patch.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including remote code execution vulnerabilities, in several third-party libraries :

  - Apache Struts
  - glibc
  - GnuTLS
  - JRE
  - kernel
  - libxml2
  - OpenSSL
  - Perl
  - popt and rpm

A HTTP header injection attack was fixed in perl-CGI-Simple.
CVE-2010-2761 has been assigned to this issue.

Multiple header injection problems in the CGI module of perl have been fixed. They allowed to inject HTTP headers in responses.
CVE-2010-2761, CVE-2010-4410 and CVE-2010-4411 have been assigned to this issue.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2011:1797 :

Updated perl packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

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.

Perl is a high-level programming language commonly used for system administration utilities and web programming.

It was found that the 'new' constructor of the Digest module used its argument as part of the string expression passed to the eval() function. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary Perl code with the privileges of a Perl program that uses untrusted input as an argument to the constructor. (CVE-2011-3597)

It was found that the Perl CGI module used a hard-coded value for the MIME boundary string in multipart/x-mixed-replace content. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to conduct an HTTP response splitting attack via a specially crafted HTTP request. (CVE-2010-2761)

A CRLF injection flaw was found in the way the Perl CGI module processed a sequence of non-whitespace preceded by newline characters in the header. A remote attacker could use this flaw to conduct an HTTP response splitting attack via a specially crafted sequence of characters provided to the CGI module. (CVE-2010-4410)

A Bugzilla Security Advisory reports :

This advisory covers three security issues that have recently been fixed in the Bugzilla code :

- A weakness in Bugzilla could allow a user to gain unauthorized access to another Bugzilla account.

- A weakness in the Perl CGI.pm module allows injecting HTTP headers and content to users via several pages in Bugzilla.

- If you put a harmful 'javascript:' or 'data:' URL into Bugzilla's 'URL' field, then there are multiple situations in which Bugzilla will unintentionally make that link clickable.

- Various pages lack protection against cross-site request forgeries.

All affected installations are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible.

Multiple header injection problems in the CGI module of perl have been fixed. They allowed to inject HTTP headers in responses.

  - have been assigned to this issue. (CVE-2010-2761 /     CVE-2010-4410 / CVE-2010-4411)

Multiple header injection problems in the CGI module of perl have been fixed. They allowed to inject HTTP headers in responses. CVE-2010-2761 / CVE-2010-4410 / CVE-2010-4411 have been assigned to this issue.

The remote web server is hosting Bugzilla, a web-based bug tracking application.

Versions of Bugzilla 3.2.x earlier than 3.2.10, 3.4.x earlier than 3.4.10, and 3.6.x earlier than 3.6.4 are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A weakness could allow a user to gain unauthorized access to another Bugzilla account.

  - A weakness in the Perl CGI.pm module allows injecting HTTP headers and content to users via several pages.

  - It is possible to insert harmful 'javascript:' or 'data:' URLs into Bugzilla's 'URL' field which in some cases Buzilla will make clickable.

  - Various pages lack protection against cross-site request forgeries.

A new version of the CGI Perl module has been released to CPAN, which fixes several security bugs which directly affect Bugzilla (these two security bugs where first discovered as affecting Bugzilla, then identified as being bugs in CGI.pm itself).

The multipart_init function in (1) CGI.pm before 3.50 and (2) Simple.pm in CGI::Simple 1.112 and earlier uses a hard-coded value of the MIME boundary string in multipart/x-mixed-replace content, which allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via crafted input that contains this value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3172 (CVE-2010-2761).

CRLF injection vulnerability in the header function in (1) CGI.pm before 3.50 and (2) Simple.pm in CGI::Simple 1.112 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via vectors related to non-whitespace characters preceded by newline characters, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2761 and CVE-2010-3172 (CVE-2010-4410).

Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more:
