Pexip security bulletins

Insufficient input validation in the signalling implementation(s) allows a malicious attacker to trigger a software abort resulting in a denial of service.

CVSS3.1 base score:7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Mitigation: None

Resolution: Upgrade to v31.2

The sudoedit command mishandles extra arguments, allowing a local attacker to append arbitrary entries to the list of files to process, leading to privilege escalation.

CVSS 3.1 base score: 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

Mitigation: The sole non-system user account ("admin") is explicitly given privileges to allow escalation via sudo. Therefore, this vulnerability is only relevant as a mechanism to potentially escalate privileges after exploiting some other vulnerability to gain access to the system as an unprivileged user.

Resolution: Upgrade to Pexip Infinity v31.1

A type confusion vulnerability in the OpenSSL cryptography library allows an attacker to read memory contents or cause a software abort when CRL checking is enabled.

CVSS 3.1 base score: 7.4 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H)

Mitigation: No software shipped as part of Pexip Infinity is configured to use CRLs (as Infinity uses OCSP instead), therefore this vulnerability is only relevant if unsupported configuration or software changes have been made.

Resolution: Upgrade to Pexip Infinity v31.1

High

Resource mismanagement in the OpenSSL cryptography library allows an attacker to trigger a use after free when processing ASN.1 data leading to a software abort.

CVSS 3.1 base score: 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Mitigation: None

Resolution: Upgrade to Pexip Infinity v31.1

High

The strongSwan IPsec implementation allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.

CVSS 3.1 base score: 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Mitigation: Strongswan is configured to only permit tunnel establishment by other nodes in the deployment. Further, ISAKMP traffic is restricted by the firewall such that traffic from source addresses outside the deployment is rejected.

Resolution: Upgrade to Pexip Infinity v31.1

High

An issue was discovered in libxml2 before 2.10.3. Certain invalid XML entity definitions can corrupt a hash table key, potentially leading to subsequent logic errors. In one case, a double-free can be provoked.

CVSS 3.1 base score: 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

Mitigation: None

Resolution: Upgrade to Pexip Infinity v31.1

High

An issue was discovered in libxml2 before 2.10.3. When parsing a multi-gigabyte XML document with the XML_PARSE_HUGE parser option enabled, several integer counters can overflow. This results in an attempt to access an array at a negative 2GB offset, typically leading to a segmentation fault.

CVSS 3.1 base score: 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Mitigation: Components using this library enforce payload size limits before passing input data into libxml2. These size limits are significantly below that needed to be able to exploit this issue.

Resolution: Upgrade to Pexip Infinity v31.1

The c_rehash script does not properly sanitise shell metacharacters to prevent command injection, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script.

CVSS 3.1 base score: 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

Mitigation: The c_rehash script is used during system upgrade when updating the built-in Certificate Authorities. The updated Certificate Authorities and script usage are part of the upgrade archive which is signed using keys known only to Pexip and thus ensures that the input data is trusted.

Resolution: Upgrade to Pexip Infinity v31.1

Critical

A parsing vulnerability for the MessageSet type in the ProtocolBuffers implementation allows an attacker to cause a software abort.

CVSS 3.1 base score: 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Mitigation: ProtocolBuffers are used when communicating with Google Meet. Other service types are not affected.

Resolution: Upgrade to Pexip Infinity v31.1

High

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the PCRE2 library allows an attacker to cause a software abort.

CVSS 3.1 base score: 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Mitigation: None

Resolution: Upgrade to Pexip Infinity v31.1

Insufficient input validation in the signaling implementation(s) allows a malicious attacker to trigger a software abort resulting in a denial of service

CVSS3.1 base score: 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Mitigation: None.

Resolution: Upgrade to Pexip Infinity 30.1

The RedirectAgent and BrowserLikeRedirectAgent HTTP client implementations in the Twisted event-driven networking engine expose cookies and authorization headers when following cross-origin redirects.

CVSS3.1 base score: 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

Mitigation: This functionality is only used when interfacing with trusted third party services, none of which currently use cross-origin redirects, therefore no exploit path currently exists.

Resolution: Upgrade to Pexip Infinity 30.0

open-vm-tools (12.0.0, 11.x.y and 10.x.y) contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious actor with local non-administrative access to the Guest OS can escalate privileges as a root user in the virtual machine.

CVSS3.1 base score: 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

Mitigation: Exploitation requires an attacker to be able to run arbitrary code on the system by either achieving remote code execution via some other vulnerability or having administrative access to the operating system.

Resolution: Upgrade to Pexip Infinity 30.0

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s io_uring implementation. This flaw allows an attacker with a local account to corrupt system memory, crash the system or escalate privileges.

CVSS3.1 base score: 8.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H)

Mitigation: Exploitation requires an attacker to be able to run arbitrary code on the system by either achieving remote code execution via some other vulnerability or having administrative access to the operating system.

Resolution: Upgrade to Pexip Infinity 30.0

Use after free in xsltApplyTemplates prior to libxslt 1.1.35 allows attackers to potentially exploit heap corruption via crafted XML data.

CVSS3.1 base score: 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

Mitigation: Infinity versions before 27 do not expose this component to untrusted input and are thus not directly impacted by this issue (although it is still present in the versions of the component contained in pre-27 Infinity releases). Infinity versions from 27 up to 30 do process untrusted input using the affected component as part of the SIngle Sign-On functionality. Administrators should ensure that only trusted Identity Providers are configured.

Resolution: Upgrade to Pexip Infinity 30.0

Type confusion in xsltNumberFormatGetMultipleLevel prior to libxslt 1.1.33 could allow attackers to potentially exploit heap corruption via crafted XML data.

CVSS3.1 base score: 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Mitigation: No exploit paths exist in Infinity versions before 27 as this component is not exposed to untrusted input. Exploits in Infinity versions 27 through 29 require a malicious Identity Provider to be used for the Single Sign-On participant authentication functionality.

Resolution: Upgrade to Pexip Infinity 30.0

Insufficient input validation in the signalling implementation(s) allows a malicious attacker to trigger a software abort resulting in a denial of service.

In the Linux kernel before 5.17.3, fs/io_uring.c has a use-after-free due to a race condition in io_uring timeouts. This can be triggered by a local user who has no access to any user namespace; however, the race condition perhaps can only be exploited infrequently.

zlib before 1.2.12 allows memory corruption when deflating (i.e., when compressing) if the input has many distant matches.

CVSS 3.1 base score: 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Mitigation: This issue is most reliably triggered by use of static Huffman coding (Z_FIXED), which is not used by Pexip Infinity, but can also occur when using dynamic Huffman coding (Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY) with a memLevel of 1. All use of zlib compression within Pexip Infinity uses dynamic Huffman coding (Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY) with a memLevel of at least 8.
