-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 NetBSD Security Advisory 2016-005 ================================= Topic: bozohttpd CGI handlers potential remote code execution Version: NetBSD-current: 20160415 NetBSD 7.0: affected NetBSD 6.1 - 6.1.5: affected NetBSD 6.0 - 6.0.6: affected Severity: Potential execution of arbitrary commands as httpd user Fixed: NetBSD-current: April 15, 2016 NetBSD-7 branch: April 15, 2016 NetBSD-6 branch: April 15, 2016 NetBSD-6-1 branch: April 15, 2016 NetBSD-6-0 branch: April 15, 2016 pkgsrc: bozohttpd-20160415 corrects this issue Please note that NetBSD releases prior to 6.0 are no longer supported. It is recommended that all users upgrade to a supported release. Abstract ======== Running programs as CGI handlers that were not designed to serve as such may create a vulnerability since bozohttpd would pass any arguments to the executed binary. In the worst case scenario this may lead to remote code execution. This vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2015-8212. Technical Details ================= bozohttpd supports option -C which can be used to add a CGI handler for a particular file type. It was designed to support both CGI and non-CGI aware programs to serve dynamic content. Binaries were executed using arguments from the remote client. In case of non-CGI programs this can be abused to exploit features of such programs and change their behaviour, which in worst case scenario can lead to running attacker-provided code. It was proven that arbitrary code can be executed in case of PHP-CLI as CGI handler. Solutions and Workarounds ========================= This problem only affects users which use not-CGI aware programs as CGI handlers (such as sh, CLI version of PHP etc.) directly. The simplest fix is to install the latest pkgsrc bozohttpd which fixes this problem (and run it instead of the system one). Support for non-CGI handlers has been removed as there's no way to securely handle user's requests. cd /var/tmp ftp http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily////binary/sets/base.tgz cd / tar xzpf /var/tmp/base.tgz ./usr/libexec/httpd with the following replacements: = the release version you are using = the source date of the build. 20160416* and later will fit = your system's architecture The following instructions describe how to upgrade your bozohttpd binaries by updating your source tree and rebuilding and installing a new version of bozohttpd.
