Synopsis

HCL BigFix is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of HCL BigFix Client installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

- An improper authentication vulnerability exists in the curl subcomponent which might allow reuse OAUTH2-authenticated connections without properly making sure that the connection was authenticated with the same credentials as set for this transfer. This affects SASL-enabled protocols: SMPTP(S), IMAP(S), POP3(S) and LDAP(S) (openldap only). (CVE-2022-22576)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the curl subcomponent. Using an IPv6 address that was in the connection pool but with a different zone id it could reuse a connection instead. (CVE-2022-27775)

- A insufficiently protected credentials vulnerability in fixed the curl subcomponent might leak authentication or cookie header data on HTTP redirects to the same host but another port number.
(CVE-2022-27776)

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

Solution

Upgrade to HCL BigFix Platform version 9.5.20, 10.0.7, or later.
