CVE-2014-1933

The (1) JpegImagePlugin.py and (2) EpsImagePlugin.py scripts in Python Image Library (PIL) 1.1.7 and earlier and Pillow before 2.3.1 uses the names of temporary files on the command line, which makes it easier for local users to conduct symlink attacks by listing the processes. (CVSS:2.1) (Last Update:2014-05-23)

SA-CORE-2014-002 – Drupal core – Information Disclosure

  • Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CORE-2014-002
  • Project: Drupal core
  • Version: 6.x, 7.x
  • Date: 2014-April-16
  • Security risk: Moderately critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Information Disclosure

Description

Drupal’s form API has built-in support for temporary storage of form state, for example user input. This is often used on multi-step forms, and is required on Ajax-enabled forms in order to allow the Ajax calls to access and update interim user input on the server.

When pages are cached for anonymous users (either by Drupal or by an external system), form state may leak between anonymous users. As a consequence there is a chance that interim form input recorded for one anonymous user (which may include sensitive or private information, depending on the nature of the form) will be disclosed to other users interacting with the same form at the same time. This especially affects multi-step Ajax forms because the window of opportunity (i.e. the time span between user input and final form submission) is indeterminable.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that Drupal core does not expose any such forms to anonymous users by default. However, contributed modules or individual sites which leverage the Drupal Form API under the aforementioned conditions might be vulnerable.

Note: This security release introduces small API changes which may require code updates on sites that expose Ajax or multi-step forms to anonymous users, and where the forms are displayed on pages that are cached (either by Drupal or by an external system). See the Drupal 6.31 release notes and Drupal 7.27 release notes for more information.

CVE-2013-5704

The mod_headers module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.22 allows remote attackers to bypass “RequestHeader unset” directives by placing a header in the trailer portion of data sent with chunked transfer coding. NOTE: the vendor states “this is not a security issue in httpd as such.” (CVSS:5.0) (Last Update:2014-07-24)
