3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW
3.2.1 CLEARTEXT TRANSMISSION OF SENSITIVE INFORMATION CWE-319
A user can tell curl from version 7.20.0 to version 7.78.0 to require a
successful upgrade to TLS when speaking to an IMAP, POP3 or FTP server
(`–ssl-reqd` on the command line or`CURLOPT_USE_SSL` set to
`CURLUSESSL_CONTROL` or `CURLUSESSL_ALL` withlibcurl). This requirement could
be bypassed if the server would return a properly crafted but perfectly
legitimate response. This flaw would then make curl silently continue its
operations without TLS contrary to the instructions and expectations, exposing
possibly sensitive data in clear text over the network.
CVE-2021-22946 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:H/I:N/A:N ).
3.2.2 IMPROPER NEUTRALIZATION OF SPECIAL ELEMENTS USED IN AN OS COMMAND (‘OS
COMMAND INJECTION’) CWE-78
The c_rehash script does not properly sanitize shell metacharacters to prevent
command injection.
CVE-2022-1292 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.3 IMPROPER NEUTRALIZATION OF SPECIAL ELEMENTS USED IN AN OS COMMAND (‘OS
COMMAND INJECTION’) CWE-78
In addition to the c_rehash shell command injection identified in
CVE-2022-1292, further circumstances where the c_rehash script does not
properly sanitize shell metacharacters to prevent command injection were found
by code review. When the CVE-2022-1292 was fixed it was not discovered that
there are other places in the script where the file names of certificates being
hashed were possibly passed to a command executed through the shell. This
script is distributed by some operating systems in a manner where it is
automatically executed. On such operating systems, an attacker could execute
arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script. Use of the c_rehash
script is considered obsolete and should be replaced by the OpenSSL rehash
command line tool.
CVE-2022-2068 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.4 IMPROPER AUTHENTICATION CWE-287
An improper authentication vulnerability exists in curl 7.33.0 to and including
7.82.0 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 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
8.1 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:N ).
3.2.5 BUFFER COPY WITHOUT CHECKING SIZE OF INPUT (‘CLASSIC BUFFER OVERFLOW’)
CWE-120
Rsyslog is a system for log processing. Modules for TCP syslog reception have a
potential heap buffer overflow when octet-counted framing is used. This can
result in a segfault or some other malfunction. This vulnerability cannot be
used for remote code execution, but there may still be a slight chance for
experts to do that. The bug occurs when the octet count is read. While there is
a check for the maximum number of octets, digits are written to a heap buffer
even when the octet count is over the maximum. This can be used to overrun the
memory buffer. However, once the sequence of digits stops, no additional
characters can be added to the buffer. In our opinion, this makes remote
exploits impossible or at least highly complex. Octet-counted framing is one of
two potential framing modes enabled by default on receivers. Modules `imtcp`,
`imptcp`, `imgssapi`, and `imhttp` are used for regular syslog message
reception. It is best practice not to directly expose them to the public. When
this practice is followed, the risk is considerably lower. Module `imdiag` is a
diagnostics module primarily intended for testbench runs. Octet-counted framing
is not very common. Usually, it needs to be specifically enabled at senders. If
users do not need it, they can turn it off for the most important modules. This
will mitigate the vulnerability.
CVE-2022-24903 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
8.1 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.6 UNCONTROLLED RESOURCE CONSUMPTION CWE-400
libcurl provides the `CURLOPT_CERTINFO` option to allow applications to request
details to be returned about a server’s certificate chain. Due to an erroneous
function, a malicious server could make libcurl built with NSS get stuck in a
never-ending busy-loop when trying to retrieve that information.
CVE-2022-27781 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:N/I:N/A:H ).
3.2.7 IMPROPER CERTIFICATE VALIDATION CWE-295
libcurl would reuse a previously created connection even when a TLS or SSH
related option had been changed that should have prohibited reuse. libcurl
keeps previously used connections in a connection pool for subsequent transfers
to reuse if one of them matches the setup. However, several TLS and SSH
settings were left out from the configuration match checks, making them match
too easily.
CVE-2022-27782 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:N/I:H/A:N ).
3.2.8 CROSS-SITE REQUEST FORGERY (CSRF) CWE-352
The web interface of the affected devices is vulnerable to cross-site request
forgery attacks. By tricking an authenticated victim user to click a malicious
link, an attacker could perform arbitrary actions on the device on behalf of
the victim user.
CVE-2022-29561 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
7.5 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.9 IMPROPER INPUT VALIDATION CWE-20
Affected devices do not properly handle malformed HTTP packets. This could
allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to send a malformed HTTP packet
causing certain functions to fail in a controlled manner.
CVE-2022-29562 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
3.7 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:N/I:N/A:L ).
3.2.10 INCORRECT DEFAULT PERMISSIONS CWE-276
When curl prior to 7.84.0 saves cookies, alt-svc and hsts data to local files,
it makes the operation atomic by finalizing the operation with a rename from a
temporary name to the final target file name. In that rename operation, it
might accidentally widen the permissions for the target file, leaving the
updated file accessible to more users than intended.
CVE-2022-32207 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.11 IMPROPER NEUTRALIZATION OF INPUT DURING WEB PAGE GENERATION (‘CROSS-SITE
SCRIPTING’) CWE-79
A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the web
interface of the affected application that could allow an attacker to execute
malicious javascript code by tricking users into accessing a malicious link.
The value is reflected in the response without sanitization while throwing an
“invalid params element name” error on the get_elements parameters.
CVE-2023-36386 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
8.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
3.2.12 IMPROPER NEUTRALIZATION OF INPUT DURING WEB PAGE GENERATION (‘CROSS-SITE
SCRIPTING’) CWE-79
