Gentoo: 200502-21 Low Severity: Lighttpd Script Source Exposure

An attacker can trick lighttpd into revealing the source of scripts that should be executed as CGI or FastCGI applications.. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200502-21 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Low Title: lighttpd: Script source disclosure Date: February 15, 2005 Bugs: #81776 ID: 200502-21 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======= An attacker can trick lighttpd into revealing the source of scripts that should be executed as CGI or FastCGI applications. Background ========= lighttpd is a small-footprint, fast, compliant and very flexible web-server which is optimized for high-performance environments. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-servers/lighttpd < 1.3.10-r1 > = 1.3.10-r1 Description ========== lighttpd uses file extensions to determine which elements are programs that should be executed and which are static pages that should be sent as-is. By appending %00 to the filename, you can evade the extension detection mechanism while still accessing the file. Impact ===== A remote attacker could send specific queries and access the source of scripts that should have been executed as CGI or FastCGI applications. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All lighttpd users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =www-servers/lighttpd-1.3.10-r1" References ========= [ 1 ] lighttpd-announceAdvisory Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200502-21 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.

Debian: DSA 225-1 Critical: Tomcat Source Exposure Remote Access

A security vulnerability exists in Apache Tomcat 4.0.x releases, which allows a specially crafted URL to return the unprocessed source of a JSP page without the need for being properly authenticated.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 225-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Martin Schulze January 9th, 2002 Debian -- Debian security FAQ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : tomcat4 Vulnerability : source disclosure Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE Id : CAN-2002-1394 A security vulnerability has been confirmed to exist in Apache Tomcat 4.0.x releases, which allows to use a specially crafted URL to return the unprocessed source of a JSP page, or, under special circumstances, a static resource which would otherwise have been protected by a security constraint, without the need for being properly authenticated. This is based on a variant of the exploit that was identified as CAN-2002-1148. For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.3-3woody2. The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain tomcat packages. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem does not exist in the current version 4.1.16-1. We recommend that you upgrade your tomcat packages. Installation Instructions ------------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
