Security Bulletin
Summary
IBM Rational Build Forge 8.0.0.24 addresses multiple vulnerabilities by updating Apache HTTP Server
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2023-27522
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to HTTP request smuggling, caused by improper parsing of the HTTP transfer-encoding request header by the mod_proxy_uwsgi module. By sending a specially-crafted HTTP(S) transfer-encoding request header, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to poison the web cache, bypass web application firewall protection, and conduct XSS attacks.
CVSS Base score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/249442 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-37436
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to HTTP response splitting attacks, caused by the use of a malicious backend by mod_proxy. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and cause the server to return a split response, once the URL is clicked. This would allow the attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web cache poisoning or cross-site scripting, and possibly obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 6.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/244885 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2022-36760
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: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/244884 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/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-2022-28614
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-2006-20001
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-bounds read or write of zero in mod_dav. By sending a specially crafted If: request header, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the process to crash.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/244883 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-2023-25690
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to HTTP request splitting attacks, caused by an error when mod_proxy is enabled along with some form of RewriteRule or ProxyPassMatch. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass access controls in the proxy server, proxying unintended URLs to existing origin servers, and cache poisoning.
CVSS Base score: 6.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/249287 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N)
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.

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
