A flaw was found in curl before version 7.51. If cookie state is written into a cookie jar file that is later read back and used for subsequent requests, a malicious HTTP server can inject new cookies for arbitrary domains into said cookie jar.(CVE-2016-8615)

Impact

When a cURL connection stores a cookie state and is written into a cookie jar file that is later used for the subsequent cURL requests, a malicious web server can inject new cookies into the affected cookie jar for arbitrary domains. This exploit requires access to a malicious web server that serves cookies.

The version of Oracle Secure Global Desktop installed on the remote host is 4.71, 5.2, or 5.3 and is missing a security patch from the April 2017 Critical Patch Update (CPU). It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An integer truncation error exists in cURL in the     curl_easy_unescape() function within file lib/escape.c     when handling overly large URLs. An unauthenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of     service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2016-8622)

  - A use-after-free error exists in cURL within file     lib/cookie.c when handling shared cookies. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     disclose memory contents. (CVE-2016-8623)

  - A flaw exists in cURL in the parseurlandfillconn()     function within file lib/url.c when parsing the     authority component of a URL with the host name part     ending in a '#' character.

Note that this issue     is very similar to CVE-2015-3193. Moreover, the attacker     would additionally need online access to an unpatched     system using the target private key in a scenario with     persistent DH parameters and a private key that is     shared between multiple clients. For example, this can     occur by default in OpenSSL DHE based SSL/TLS cipher     suites. (CVE-2017-3732)

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

According to the versions of the curl packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple integer overflows in the (1) curl_escape, (2)     curl_easy_escape, (3) curl_unescape, and (4)     curl_easy_unescape functions in libcurl before 7.50.3     allow attackers to have unspecified impact via a string     of length 0xffffffff, which triggers a heap-based     buffer overflow.(CVE-2016-7167)

  - ** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an     organization or individual that will use it when     announcing a new security problem. When the candidate     has been publicized, the details for this candidate     will be     provided.(CVE-2016-8615,CVE-2016-8616,CVE-2016-8617,CVE

Furthermore, CVE-2016-6304, CVE-2016-7596, and CVE-2016-7604 also affect Mac OS X versions 10.10.5 and 10.11.6. However, this plugin does not check those versions.

Versions of cURL and libcurl prior to 7.51.0 are affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A flaw exists in the International Domain Names (IDNA) handling when translating domain names to Punycode for DNS resolving. The issue is triggered as the outdated IDNA 2003 standard is used instead of IDNA 2008 for e.g. for the German 'LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S' Unicode character. This may result in incorrect translation for a domain name and in turn network traffic being directed to a different host than intended.
 - A flaw exists in the 'ConnectionExists()' function in 'lib/url.c' that is triggered when checking credentials supplied for reused connections, as the comparison is case-insensitive. This may allow a remote attacker to authenticate without knowing the proper case of the username and password.
 - An integer truncation flaw exists in the 'curl_easy_unescape()' function in 'lib/escape.c' that is triggered when handling overly large URLs. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, crashing a process linked against the library or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
 - An integer overflow condition exists in the 'base64_encode()' function in 'lib/base64.c' that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, crashing a process linked against the library or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
 - A flaw exists in the 'alloc_addbyter()' function in 'lib/mprintf.c' that is triggered as overly long input is not properly validated when supplied to the 'curl_maprintf()' API method. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to free already freed memory and crash a process linked against the library.
 - A use-after-free error exists in 'lib/cookie.c' that is triggered when handling shared cookies. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially disclose memory contents.
 - A flaw exists in the 'parseurlandfillconn()' function in 'lib/url.c' that is triggered when parsing the authority component of an URL with the hostname part ending in a '#' character. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to establish a connection to a different host than intended.
 - A double-free error exists in the 'read_data()' function in 'lib/security.c' that is triggered when handling Kerberos authentication. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to free already freed memory and have an unspecified impact.
 - A flaw exists in the 'Curl_cookie_init()' function in 'lib/cookie.c' that is triggered when handling cookies. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to inject new cookies for arbitrary domains.
 - An out-of-bounds read flaw exists in the 'parsedate()' function in 'lib/parsedate.c' that is triggered when handling dates. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to crash a process linked against the library or potentially disclose memory contents.
 - An out-of-bounds access flaw exists in 'tool_urlglob.c' within the globbing feature. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to potentially disclose memory contents or execute arbitrary code.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

CVE-2016-8615 If cookie state is written into a cookie jar file that is later read back and used for subsequent requests, a malicious HTTP server can inject new cookies for arbitrary domains into said cookie jar. The issue pertains to the function that loads cookies into memory, which reads the specified file into a fixed-size buffer in a line-by-line manner using the `fgets()` function. If an invocation of fgets() cannot read the whole line into the destination buffer due to it being too small, it truncates the output. This way, a very long cookie (name + value) sent by a malicious server would be stored in the file and subsequently that cookie could be read partially and crafted correctly, it could be treated as a different cookie for another server.

CVE-2016-8616 When re-using a connection, curl was doing case insensitive comparisons of user name and password with the existing connections. This means that if an unused connection with proper credentials exists for a protocol that has connection-scoped credentials, an attacker can cause that connection to be reused if s/he knows the case-insensitive version of the correct password.

CVE-2016-8617 In libcurl's base64 encode function, the output buffer is allocated as follows without any checks on insize: malloc( insize * 4 / 3 + 4 ) On systems with 32-bit addresses in userspace (e.g. x86, ARM, x32), the multiplication in the expression wraps around if insize is at least 1GB of data. If this happens, an undersized output buffer will be allocated, but the full result will be written, thus causing the memory behind the output buffer to be overwritten. Systems with 64 bit versions of the `size_t` type are not affected by this issue.

CVE-2016-8618 The libcurl API function called `curl_maprintf()` can be tricked into doing a double-free due to an unsafe `size_t` multiplication, on systems using 32 bit `size_t` variables. The function is also used internallty in numerous situations. Systems with 64 bit versions of the `size_t` type are not affected by this issue.

CVE-2016-8619 In curl's implementation of the Kerberos authentication mechanism, the function `read_data()` in security.c is used to fill the necessary krb5 structures. When reading one of the length fields from the socket, it fails to ensure that the length parameter passed to realloc() is not set to 0.

CVE-2016-8621 The `curl_getdate` converts a given date string into a numerical timestamp and it supports a range of different formats and possibilites to express a date and time. The underlying date parsing function is also used internally when parsing for example HTTP cookies (possibly received from remote servers) and it can be used when doing conditional HTTP requests.

CVE-2016-8622 The URL percent-encoding decode function in libcurl is called `curl_easy_unescape`. Internally, even if this function would be made to allocate a unscape destination buffer larger than 2GB, it would return that new length in a signed 32 bit integer variable, thus the length would get either just truncated or both truncated and turned negative. That could then lead to libcurl writing outside of its heap based buffer.

CVE-2016-8623 libcurl explicitly allows users to share cookies between multiple easy handles that are concurrently employed by different threads. When cookies to be sent to a server are collected, the matching function collects all cookies to send and the cookie lock is released immediately afterwards. That funcion however only returns a list with

*references* back to the original strings for name, value, path and so on. Therefore, if another thread quickly takes the lock and frees one of the original cookie structs together with its strings, a use-after-free can occur and lead to information disclosure. Another thread can also replace the contents of the cookies from separate HTTP responses or API calls.

CVE-2016-8624 curl doesn't parse the authority component of the URL correctly when the host name part ends with a '#' character, and could instead be tricked into connecting to a different host. This may have security implications if you for example use an URL parser that follows the RFC to check for allowed domains before using curl to request them.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 7.26.0-1+wheezy17.

We recommend that you upgrade your curl packages.
