SA-CORE-2012-002 – Drupal core multiple vulnerabilities

  • Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CORE-2012-002
  • Project: Drupal core
  • Version: 7.x
  • Date: 2012-May-2
  • Security risk: Critical
  • Exploitable from: Remote
  • Vulnerability: Denial of Service, Access bypass, Unvalidated form redirect

Description

Denial of Service

CVE: CVE-2012-1588

Drupal core’s text filtering system provides several features including removing inappropriate HTML tags and automatically linking content that appears to be a link. A pattern in Drupal’s text matching was found to be inefficient with certain specially crafted strings. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that users must have the ability to post content sent to the filter system such as a role with the “post comments” or “Forum topic: Create new content” permission.

Unvalidated form redirect

CVE: CVE-2012-1589

Drupal core’s Form API allows users to set a destination, but failed to validate that the URL was internal to the site. This weakness could be abused to redirect the login to a remote site with a malicious script that harvests the login credentials and redirects to the live site. This vulnerability is mitigated only by the end user’s ability to recognize a URL with malicious query parameters to avoid the social engineering required to exploit the problem.

Access bypass – forum listing

CVE: CVE-2012-1590

Drupal core’s forum lists fail to check user access to nodes when displaying them in the forum overview page. If an unpublished node was the most recently updated in a forum then users who should not have access to unpublished forum posts were still be able to see meta-data about the forum post such as the post title.

Access bypass – private images

CVE: CVE-2012-1591

Drupal core provides the ability to have private files, including images, and Image Styles which create derivative images from an original image that may differ, for example, in size or saturation. Drupal core failed to properly terminate the page request for cached image styles allowing users to access image derivatives for images they should not be able to view. Furthermore, Drupal didn’t set the right headers to prevent image styles from being cached in the browser.

Access bypass – content administration

CVE: CVE-2012-2153

Drupal core provides the ability to list nodes on a site at admin/content. Drupal core failed to confirm a user viewing that page had access to each node in the list. This vulnerability only concerns sites running a contributed node access module and is mitigated by the fact that users must have a role with the “Access the content overview page” permission. Unpublished nodes were not displayed to users who only had the “Access the content overview page” permission.

Versions affected

  • Drupal core 7.x versions prior to 7.13.

[BSA-069] Security Update for NGINX

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi.

I uploaded new packages for nginx which fixed the following security
problems:

CVE-2012-2089 - nginx -- arbitrary code execution in mp4
pseudo-streaming module

A flaw was reported in the nginx standard mp4 pseudo-streaming module. A
specially-crafted mp4 file could allow for the overwriting of memory
locations in a worker process if ngx_http_mp4_module were used. This
could potentially result in arbitrary code execution with the privileges
of the unprivileged nginx user.

This has been corrected in upstream 1.0.15 and 1.1.9 versions, and only
affected versions newer than 1.1.3 and 1.0.7 when built with the
ngx_http_mp4_module and had the "mp4" directive set in the configuration
file.

For the squeeze-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in
version

    1.1.19-1~bpo60+1

For wheezy (testing) and sid (unstable) this was fixed in version

    1.1.19-1

Squeeze (stable) is not vulnerable to this security issue.

Thanks.

WordPress 3.3.2 (and WordPress 3.4 Beta 3)

WordPress 3.3.2 is available now and is a security update for all previous versions.

Three external libraries included in WordPress received security updates:

  • Plupload (version 1.5.4), which WordPress uses for uploading media.
  • SWFUpload, which WordPress previously used for uploading media, and may still be in use by plugins.
  • SWFObject, which WordPress previously used to embed Flash content, and may still be in use by plugins and themes.

Thanks to Neal Poole and Nathan Partlan for responsibly disclosing the bugs in Plupload and SWFUpload, and Szymon Gruszecki for a separate bug in SWFUpload.

WordPress 3.3.2 also addresses:

  • Limited privilege escalation where a site administrator could deactivate network-wide plugins when running a WordPress network under particular circumstances, disclosed by Jon Cave of our WordPress core security team, and Adam Backstrom.
  • Cross-site scripting vulnerability when making URLs clickable, by Jon Cave.
  • Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in redirects after posting comments in older browsers, and when filtering URLs. Thanks to Mauro Gentile for responsibly disclosing these issues to the security team.

These issues were fixed by the WordPress core security team. Five other bugs were also fixed in version 3.3.2. Consult the change log for more details.

Download WordPress 3.3.2 or update now from the Dashboard → Updates menu in your site’s admin area.


WordPress 3.4 Beta 3 also available

Our development of WordPress 3.4 development continues. Today we are proud to release Beta 3 for testing. Nearly 90 changes have been made since Beta 2, released 9 days ago. (We are aiming for a beta every week.)

This is still beta software, so we don’t recommend that you use it on production sites. But if you’re a plugin developer, a theme developer, or a site administrator, you should be running this on your test environments and reporting any bugs you find. (See the known issues here.) If you’re a WordPress user who wants to open your presents early, take advantage of WordPress’s famous 5-minute install and spin up a secondary test site. Let us know what you think!

Version 3.4 Beta 3 includes all of the fixes included in version 3.3.2. Download WordPress 3.4 Beta 3 or use the WordPress Beta Tester plugin.
