Message-ID: <20070912200418.29678.qmail@securityfocus.com> Date: 12 Sep 2007 20:04:18 -0000 From: cxib@...urityreason.com To: bugtraq@...urityfocus.com Subject: Apache2 Undefined Charset UTF-7 XSS Vulnerability -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [Apache2 Undefined Charset UTF-7 XSS Vulnerability ] Author: SecurityReason Maksymilian Arciemowicz (cXIb8O3) Date: - - Written: 08.08.2007 - - Public: 11.09.2007 SecurityReason Research SecurityAlert Id: 46 CVE: CVE-2007-4465 SecurityRisk: Low Affected Software: Apache 2.x (mod_autoindex) Advisory URL: http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/46 Vendor: http://httpd.apache.org - --- 0.Description --- The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems including UNIX and Windows NT. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards. Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since April 1996. The November 2005 Netcraft Web Server Survey found that more than 70% of the web sites on the Internet are using Apache, thus making it more widely used than all other web servers combined. - --- 1. Apache2 XSS Undefined Charset UTF-7 XSS Vulnerability --- The XSS(UTF7) exist in mod_autoindex.c . Charset is not defined and we can provide XSS attack using "P" option available in apache 2.2.4 by setting Charset to UTF-7. "P=pattern lists only files matching the given pattern" More : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_autoindex.html - -Source code from mod_autoindex.c-------------- #if APR_HAS_UNICODE_FS ap_set_content_type(r, "text/html;charset=utf-8"); #else ap_set_content_type(r, "text/html"); #endif - -Source code from mod_autoindex.c-------------- if APR_HAS_UNICODE_FS is set to 1 then we have defined charset and this is present on Windows systems . But on on unix , linux systems the charset is not definded. - --- EXAMPLE 1 --- # telnet localhost 80 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]' GET /icons/ http/1.1 Host: localhost Content-type: text/html Keep-Alive: 300 Connection: keep-alive HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2007 01:01:48 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) PHP/5.1.6 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.8.16 OpenSSL/0.9.7j Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Index of /icons</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H1>Index of /icons</H1> ... - --- EXAMPLE 1 --- - --- EXAMPLE 2 --- # telnet httpd.apache.org 80 Trying 140.211.11.130... Connected to httpd.apache.org. Escape character is '^]'. GET /icons/ http/1.1 Host: httpd.apache.org Content-type: text/html Keep-Alive: 300 Connection: keep-alive HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 08 Aug 2007 23:06:26 GMT Server: Apache/2.3.0-dev (Unix) Vary: Accept-Encoding Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=100 Connection: Keep-Alive Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Index of /icons</title> </head> <body> <h1>Index of /icons</h1> ... - --- EXAMPLE 2 --- Any request to folder /icons don't give charset in main header and in <head></head> section. In requests like 400 404 etc charset is defined (standard UTF8). For example : - --- EXAMPLE 3 (400) --- # telnet 127.0.0.1 80 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. GET /%0 HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2007 13:13:32 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) PHP/5.1.6 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.8.16 OpenSSL/0.9.7j Connection: close Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 ... - --- EXAMPLE 3 --- - --- EXAMPLE 4 (404) --- # telnet 127.0.0.1 80 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. GET /noex HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2007 13:14:48 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) PHP/5.1.6 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.8.16 OpenSSL/0.9.7j Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 ... - --- EXAMPLE 4 --- Any request from family 4xx is defined with charset. Because it is possible put the text to site (like wrong patch) in 404. Main idea was that, anybody can't put any text to this site with folder. And it was good idea, but in apache 2.x exist option "P". Like: http://localhost/icons/?P=[Filter] Any value gived to this variable is displayed in html text. For example : http://localhost/icons/?P=Hallo - --- HTML -------- <pre><img src="/icons/blank.gif" alt="Icon "> <a href="?C=N;O=D;P=Hallo">Name</a> - ----------------- - --- 2. Exploit --- SecurityReason is not going to release a exploit to the general public. Exploit was provided and tested for Apache Team . - --- 3. How to fix --- Update to Apache 2.2.6 http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/CHANGES_2.2.6 - --- mod_autoindex: Add in Type and Charset options to IndexOptions directive. This allows the admin to explicitly set the content-type and charset of the generated page and is therefore a viable workaround for buggy browsers affected by CVE-2007-4465 (cve.mitre.org).
