Security Bulletin: IBM Security SiteProtector System is affected by multiple Apache HTTP Server Vulnerabilities

Summary

Apache HTTP Server provides HTTP services for SiteProtector. IBM Security SiteProtector System has addressed the following vulnerabilities in an express update (CVE-2022-28614, CVE-2022-28615, CVE-2022-29404, CVE-2022-26377, CVE-2022-31813 and CVE-2022-30556) :

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2022-28614
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache HTTP Server could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an error in the ap_rwrite() function. By reflecting very large input using ap_rwrite() or ap_rputs(), such as with mod_luas r:puts() function, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read unintended memory.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/228342 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2022-28615
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache HTTP Server could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a read beyond bounds in ap_strcmp_match() when provided with an extremely large input buffer. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to crash or disclose information.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/228340 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2022-29404
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by no default limit on possible input size. By sending a specially crafted request to a lua script that calls r:parsebody(0), an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/228339 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2022-26377
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by an inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests vulnerability in mod_proxy_ajp. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to smuggle requests to the AJP server it forwards requests to.
CVSS Base score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/228343 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2022-31813
**DESCRIPTION:*Apache HTTP Server could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to send the X-Forwarded- headers to the origin server based on client side Connection header hop-by-hop mechanism. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass IP based authentication on the origin server/application.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/228337 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)

CVEID:CVE-2022-30556
**DESCRIPTION:**Apache HTTP Server could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an error in mod_lua with websockets. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to return lengths to applications calling r:wsread() that point past the end of the storage allocated for the buffer.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/228336 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)
