Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its version, the installation of Tenable SecurityCenter on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - A flaw exists in the mod_session_crypto module due to encryption for data and cookies using the configured ciphers with possibly either CBC or ECB modes of operation (AES256-CBC by default). An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a padding oracle attack, to decrypt information without knowledge of the encryption key, resulting in the disclosure of potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2016-0736)

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the mod_auth_digest module during client entry allocation.
 An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted input, to exhaust shared memory resources, resulting in a server crash. (CVE-2016-2161)

 - The Apache HTTP Server is affected by a man-in-the-middle vulnerability known as 'httpoxy' due to a failure to properly resolve namespace conflicts in accordance with RFC 3875 section 4.1.18. The HTTP_PROXY environment variable is set based on untrusted user data in the 'Proxy' header of HTTP requests. The HTTP_PROXY environment variable is used by some web client libraries to specify a remote proxy server. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted 'Proxy' header in an HTTP request, to redirect an application's internal HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server where it may be observed or manipulated.
 (CVE-2016-5387, CVE-2016-1000102, CVE-2016-1000104)

 - A carry propagation error exists in the Broadwell-specific Montgomery multiplication procedure when handling input lengths divisible by but longer than 256 bits. This can result in transient authentication and key negotiation failures or reproducible erroneous outcomes of public-key operations with specially crafted input. A man-in-the-middle attacker can possibly exploit this issue to compromise ECDH key negotiations that utilize Brainpool P-512 curves. (CVE-2016-7055)

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the mod_http2 module due to improper handling of the LimitRequestFields directive. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted CONTINUATION frames in an HTTP/2 request, to inject unlimited request headers into the server, resulting in the exhaustion of memory resources. (CVE-2016-8740)

 - A flaw exists due to improper handling of whitespace patterns in user-agent headers. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted user-agent header, to cause the program to incorrectly process sequences of requests, resulting in interpreting responses incorrectly, polluting the cache, or disclosing the content from one request to a second downstream user-agent. (CVE-2016-8743)

 - A flaw exits in libcurl in the randit() function within file lib/rand.c due to improper initialization of the 32-bit random value, which is used, for example, to generate Digest and NTLM authentication nonces, resulting in weaker cryptographic operations than expected. (CVE-2016-9594)

 - A floating pointer exception flaw exists in the exif_convert_any_to_int() function in exif.c that is triggered when handling TIFF and JPEG image tags. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-10158)

 - An integer overflow condition exists in the phar_parse_pharfile() function in phar.c due to improper validation when handling phar archives. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-10159)

 - An off-by-one overflow condition exists in the phar_parse_pharfile() function in phar.c due to improper parsing of phar archives. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-10160)

 - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the finish_nested_data() function in var_unserializer.c due to improper validation of unserialized data. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service condition or the disclosure of memory contents.
 (CVE-2016-10161)

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the gdImageCreateFromGd2Ctx() function within file gd_gd2.c in the GD Graphics Library (LibGD) when handling images claiming to contain more image data than they actually do. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash a process linked against the library.
 (CVE-2016-10167)

 - An out-of-bounds read error exists when handling packets using the CHACHA20/POLY1305 or RC4-MD5 ciphers. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted truncated packets, to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-3731)

 - A carry propagating error exists in the x86_64 Montgomery squaring implementation that may cause the BN_mod_exp() function to produce incorrect results. An unauthenticated, remote attacker with sufficient resources can exploit this to obtain sensitive information regarding private keys. 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)

 - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the phar_parse_pharfile() function in phar.c due to improper parsing of phar archives. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service condition.

 - Multiple stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities exist in unspecified scripts due to a failure to validate input before returning it to users.
 An authenticated, remote authenticated attacker can exploit these, via a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Tenable SecurityCenter version 5.4.3 or later.
