Subject: Multiple vulnerabilities affecting Uyuni / SUSE Manager
Hello list,
last May during a scheduled audit for the Uyuni project, two
security issues were found and tracked with a CVE identifier.
1. Issues
1.1) CVE-2022-21952: unauthenticated remote DoS via resource exhaustion
The endpoint /rhn/manager/frontend-log (implemented in [4]) takes an
arbitrary string of text as a POST parameter and then it writes on
/var/log/rhn/rhn_web_frontend.log file.
The input is in the form of {'level':'error', 'message':'Message'}. An
attacker can control both the severity level of the log message and the
text.
Since this endpoint is not restricted to authenticated users, there is
no throttling mechanism and it doesn't sanitize incoming input so it is
possible for an unauthenticated user to write arbitrary contents in the
log file.
e.g:
2022-05-13 10:24:04,855 [ajp-nio-0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1-8009-exec-8] ERROR
com.suse.manager.webui.controllers.FrontendLogController -
[no-logged-user -
python-requests/2.27.1] - <?php phpinfo(); ?>
2022-05-13 10:24:43,911 [ajp-nio-0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1-8009-exec-4] ERROR
com.suse.manager.webui.controllers.FrontendLogController -
[no-logged-user -
python-requests/2.27.1] - <script>alert();</script>
2022-05-13 10:24:51,944 [ajp-nio-0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1-8009-exec-9] ERROR
com.suse.manager.webui.controllers.FrontendLogController -
[no-logged-user -
python-requests/2.27.1] - <script>alert(document.cookies);</script>
2022-05-13 10:25:03,741 [ajp-nio-0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1-8009-exec-2] ERROR
com.suse.manager.webui.controllers.FrontendLogController -
[no-logged-user -
python-requests/2.27.1] - <script>alert('d');</script>
Since there is no direct utilization of that file content in the web UI,
a log poisoning attack is not possible. However, since there is no
logrotate policy for that file, is it possible to exhaust available disk
space by injecting big portions of text.
The log file is consumed in this file [5] where a copy operation is
performed.
``` cp -fapd /var/log/rhn/*.log* $DIR/rhn-logs/rhn ```
Assigned CVSS score: 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
1.2) CVE-2022-31248: SUMA user enumeration via weak error message
The /rhn/help/ForgotCredentials.do offer two different ways to retrieve
login information in case a user forgot his/her password.
The first way is asking for a password reset with your login handle and
the email address.
The second way it can be used when the user can't remember the login
handle, so he submits the email address and then the password recovery
workflow starts.
Unfortunately, the web application uses a too detailed error message. It
is possible to enumerate registered emails simply by submitting to the
page and
looking at the response status code.
It has been found that this service is available also using a plain GET
HTTP request and that it answers 302, redirecting to the homepage in
case of a valid email address and it returns 200, with an error message
in case of a not present email address.
This makes the exploit code much easier to write.
Assigned CVSS score: 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)
2. Affected releases
The two issues affect:
+ Uyuni < 2022.06
+ SUSE Manager 4.1 < 4.1.15
+ SUSE Manager 4.2 < 4.2.7
SUSE Manager 4.1.15, 4.2.7 and 4.3.0 are not affected and also Uyuni
2022.06.
Uyuni was fixed by the commit [3].
