As Bug Bounties Become the Norm, Challenges Remain

SEATTLE–For many years, Microsoft and other large software vendors resisted the idea of providing bug bounties or other financial incentives for researchers to report vulnerabilities. That changed when the landscape began to shift and more researchers began reporting vulnerabilities through brokers or selling them on the open market. While bounties have now become commonplace, simply […]

SA-CONTRIB-2014-095 – Safeword – Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

Description

The safeword module provides an automatically generated ‘Machine Name’ when text is entered into a human-readable field.

The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize the field description that can be used as help text under the machine name editing field.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “administer taxonomy”.

CVE identifier(s) issued

  • A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance
    with Drupal Security Team processes.

Versions affected

  • Safeword 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.9.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Safeword module,
there is nothing you need to do.

Solution

Install the latest version:

Also see the Safeword project page.

SA-CONTRIB-2014-093 – Twilio – Information Disclosure

Description

This module enables you to easily add SMS and VOIP functionality to your website by leveraging the Twilio cloud Voip and SMS service.

The module doesn’t expose its own permissions for administration including viewing and editing the Twilio authentication tokens. It relies only on “access administration pages” permission which is frequently granted to less-trusted users.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “access administration pages”.

CVE identifier(s) issued

  • A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance
    with Drupal Security Team processes.

Versions affected

  • Twilio 7.x-1.x versions prior to 7.x-1.9.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Twilio module,
there is nothing you need to do.

Solution

Install the latest version:

  • If you use the Twiliio module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Twilio 7.x-1.9

Also see the Twilio project page.

SA-CONTRIB-2014-094 – Webform Patched – Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

Description

The Webform Patched module is a fork of the Webform module with Token support added. The module enables you to create forms which can be used for surveys, contact forms or other data collection throughout your site.

The module doesn’t sufficiently sanitize field label titles when two fields have the same form_key, which can only be managed by carefully crafting the webform structure via a specific set of circumstances.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission “create webform content”.

CVE identifier(s) issued

  • A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance
    with Drupal Security Team processes.

Versions affected

  • Webform Patched 6.x-3.x versions prior to 6.x-3.20.
  • Webform Patched 7.x-3.x versions prior to 7.x-3.20.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Webform Patched module,
there is nothing you need to do.

Solution

Install the latest version:

Also see the Webform Patched project page.

SA-CONTRIB-2014-092 – Services – Cross Site Scripting, Access bypass

Description

The Services module enables you to expose an API to third party systems using REST, XML-RPC or other protocols.

New user’s password set to weak password in _user_resource_create()

When creating a new user account via Services, the new user’s password was set to a weak password.

This issue is mitigated by the fact that the user resource must be enabled (or least have been enabled in the past) and new user registration permitted via Services.

Action required: This release of Services comes with an interface and a drush command to perform actions in order to secure your site and get rid of this vulnerability. After installing this release and running the regular database updates, make sure to read all the information provided at admin/config/services/services-security, and pick the option most suited to your site. For example, you can reset the password of all user accounts that have been created since August 30th, 2013 (recommended).

Unfiltered JSONP callback parameter (XSS)

The JSONP response of a callback parameter is unfiltered and outputs raw HTTP data. This can lead to arbitrary JavaScript execution.

This issue is mitigated by the fact that JSONP is not enabled by default in the REST server response formatters and the HTTP client Accept header must be set to text/javascript or application/javascript if the “xml” formatter is enabled.

Services module now restricts callback parameters to alphanumeric characters only and a hard limit of 60 characters.

Flood control for user login bypass

Flood control was not properly enforced leaving it vulnerable to brute force attacks. Services now implements flood control just like core Drupal does.

CVE identifier(s) issued

  • A CVE identifier will be requested, and added upon issuance, in accordance
    with Drupal Security Team processes.

Versions affected

  • Services 7.x-3.x versions prior to 7.x-3.10.

Drupal core is not affected. If you do not use the contributed Services module,
there is nothing you need to do.

Solution

Install the latest version:

  1. If you use the Services module for Drupal 7.x, upgrade to Services 7.x-3.10
  2. follow the security update instructions at admin/config/services/services-security

Also see the Services project page.

 Problem Description:

 Updated net-snmp packages fix security vulnerabilities:
 
 A remote denial-of-service flaw was found in the way snmptrapd handled
 certain SNMP traps when started with the -OQ option. If an attacker
 sent an SNMP trap containing a variable with a NULL type where an
 integer variable type was expected, it would cause snmptrapd to crash
 (CVE-2014-3565).
