In Dogtag PKI through 10.8.3, the pki.client.PKIConnection class did not enable python-requests certificate validation. Since the verify parameter was hard-coded in all request functions, it was not possible to override the setting. As a result, tools making use of this class, such as the pki-server command, may have been vulnerable to Person-in-the-Middle attacks in certain non-localhost use cases. This is fixed in 10.9.0-b1.

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2021:0037 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2020-11023:
    In jQuery versions greater than or equal to 1.0.3 and before 3.5.0, passing HTML containing option     elements from untrusted sources - even after sanitizing it - to one of jQuery's DOM manipulation methods     (i.e. .html(), .append(), and others) may execute untrusted code. This problem is patched in jQuery 3.5.0.
    A flaw was found in jQuery. HTML containing option elements from untrusted sources are passed, even after     sanitizing, to one of jQuery's DOM manipulation methods, which may execute untrusted code. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity.

    CVE-2020-15720:
    In Dogtag PKI through 10.8.3, the pki.client.PKIConnection class did not enable python-requests     certificate validation. Since the verify parameter was hard-coded in all request functions, it was not     possible to override the setting. As a result, tools making use of this class, such as the pki-server     command, may have been vulnerable to Person-in-the-Middle attacks in certain non-localhost use cases. This     is fixed in 10.9.0-b1. A flaw was found in PKI, where the dogtag's pki.client.PKIConnection class disables     the python-requests certificate validation. This flaw allows an attacker to intercept a connection between     a FreeIPA client and a server, and execute an active Man-in-the-Middle attack. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity.

    CVE-2020-1935:
    In Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.30, 8.5.0 to 8.5.50 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.99 the HTTP header parsing code used     an approach to end-of-line parsing that allowed some invalid HTTP headers to be parsed as valid. This led     to a possibility of HTTP Request Smuggling if Tomcat was located behind a reverse proxy that incorrectly     handled the invalid Transfer-Encoding header in a particular manner. Such a reverse proxy is considered     unlikely. A flaw was found in Apache Tomcat. The HTTP header parsing code used an approach to end-of-line     (EOL) parsing that allowed some invalid HTTP headers to be parsed as valid. This led to the possibility of     HTTP Request Smuggling if Tomcat was located behind a reverse proxy that incorrectly handled the invalid     Transfer-Encoding header in a particular manner. The highest threat with this vulnerability is system     availability.

    CVE-2020-1938:
    When using the Apache JServ Protocol (AJP), care must be taken when trusting incoming connections to     Apache Tomcat. Tomcat treats AJP connections as having higher trust than, for example, a similar HTTP     connection. If such connections are available to an attacker, they can be exploited in ways that may be     surprising. In Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.30, 8.5.0 to 8.5.50 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.99, Tomcat shipped     with an AJP Connector enabled by default that listened on all configured IP addresses. It was expected     (and recommended in the security guide) that this Connector would be disabled if not required. This     vulnerability report identified a mechanism that allowed: - returning arbitrary files from anywhere in the     web application - processing any file in the web application as a JSP Further, if the web application     allowed file upload and stored those files within the web application (or the attacker was able to control     the content of the web application by some other means) then this, along with the ability to process a     file as a JSP, made remote code execution possible. It is important to note that mitigation is only     required if an AJP port is accessible to untrusted users. Users wishing to take a defence-in-depth     approach and block the vector that permits returning arbitrary files and execution as JSP may upgrade to     Apache Tomcat 9.0.31, 8.5.51 or 7.0.100 or later. A number of changes were made to the default AJP     Connector configuration in 9.0.31 to harden the default configuration. It is likely that users upgrading     to 9.0.31, 8.5.51 or 7.0.100 or later will need to make small changes to their configurations.
    CVE-2020-1938 is a file read/inclusion vulnerability in the AJP connector in Apache Tomcat. This is     enabled by default with a default configuration port of 8009. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could     exploit this vulnerability to read web application files from a vulnerable server. In instances where the     vulnerable server allows file uploads, an attacker could upload malicious JavaServer Pages (JSP) code     within a variety of file types and trigger this vulnerability to gain remote code execution (RCE).

    CVE-2022-25762     If a web application sends a WebSocket message concurrently with the WebSocket connection closing when     running on Apache Tomcat 8.5.0 to 8.5.75 or Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.20, it is possible that the     application will continue to use the socket after it has been closed. The error handling triggered in this     case could cause the a pooled object to be placed in the pool twice. This could result in subsequent     connections using the same object concurrently which could result in data being returned to the wrong use     and/or other errors.

    CVE-2021-3551:
    ** 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.
