HCL BigFix Server 9.5.x < 9.5.24 / 10.0.x < 10.0.10 / 11.0.x < 11.0.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities (KB0110209)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 190126

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of HCL BigFix Server installed on the remote host is 9.5.x prior to 9.5.24, 10.0.x prior to 10.0.10 or 11.x prior to 11.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the KB0110209 advisory.

 - Heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the SOCKS5 proxy handshake in libcurl and curl. When curl is given a hostname to pass along to a SOCKS5 proxy that is greater than 255 bytes in length, it will switch to local name resolution in order to resolve the address before passing it on to the SOCKS5 proxy. However, due to a bug introduced in 2020, this local name resolution could fail due to a slow SOCKS5 handshake, causing curl to pass on the hostname greater than 255 bytes in length into the target buffer, leading to a heap overflow. The advisory for CVE-2023-38545 gives an example exploitation scenario of a malicious HTTPS server redirecting to a specially crafted URL. While it might seem that an attacker would need to influence the slowness of the SOCKS5 handshake, the advisory states that server latency is likely slow enough to trigger this bug. (CVE-2023-38545)

 - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Web Reports component of HCL BigFix Platform can possibly allow an attack to exploit an application parameter during execution of the Save Report.
 (CVE-2023-37528)

 - A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Web Reports component of HCL BigFix Platform can possibly allow an attacker to execute malicious javascript code in the application session or in database, via remote injection, while rendering content in a web page. (CVE-2023-37527)

 - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Web Reports component of HCL BigFix Platform exists due to missing a specific http header attribute. (CVE-2024-23553)

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

Solution

Upgrade HCL BigFix Server based upon the guidance specified in KB0110209.
