Juniper NSM < 2012.2R9 Apache HTTP Server Multiple Vulnerabilities (JSA10685) (credentialed check)
Medium Nessus Plugin ID 84878
Synopsis
The remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
The remote host is running a version of NSM (Network and Security Manager) Server that is prior to 2012.2R9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the bundled version of Apache HTTP Server :
- A flaw exists due to improper escaping of filenames in 406 and 300 HTTP responses. A remote attacker can exploit this, by uploading a file with a specially crafted name, to inject arbitrary HTTP headers or conduct cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2008-0456)
- Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities exist in the mod_negotiation module due to improper sanitization of input passed via filenames. An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser. (CVE-2012-2687)
- Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities exist in the mod_info, mod_status, mod_imagemap, mod_ldap, and mod_proxy_ftp modules due to improper validation of input passed via the URL or hostnames. An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser. (CVE-2012-3499)
- A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the mod_proxy_balancer module due to improper validation of input passed via the URL or hostnames. An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser. (CVE-2012-4558)
- A flaw exists in the do_rewritelog() function due to improper sanitization of escape sequences written to log files. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted HTTP request, to execute arbitrary commands. (CVE-2013-1862)
- A denial of service vulnerability exists in mod_dav.c due to improper validation to determine if DAV is enabled for a URI. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted MERGE request, to cause a segmentation fault, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2013-1896)
- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the dav_xml_get_cdata() function due to improper removal of whitespace characters from CDATA sections. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted DAV WRITE request, to cause a daemon crash, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2013-6438)
- A flaw exists in log_cookie() function due to the logging of cookies with an unassigned value. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to cause a segmentation fault, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2014-0098)
- A flaw exists in the deflate_in_filter() function when request body decompression is configured. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to exhaust available memory and CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2014-0118)
- A race condition exists in the mod_status module due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling the scoreboard. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted request, to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-0226)
- A flaw exists in the mod_cgid module due to the lack of a timeout mechanism. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a request to a CGI script that does not read from its stdin file descriptor, to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2014-0231)
Solution
Upgrade to Juniper NSM version 2012.2R9 or later. Alternatively, apply Upgrade Package v4.
