Updated zoneminder packages fix security vulnerability

This update fixes the following security issues:

Information disclosure and authentication bypass vulnerability exists in the Apache HTTP Server configuration bundled with ZoneMinder v1.30 and v1.29, which allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to browse all directories in the web root, e.g., a remote unauthenticated attacker can view all CCTV images on the server via the /events URI. (CVE-2016-10140)

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Zoneminder 1.30 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the format parameter in a download log request to index.php. (CVE-2016-10201)

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Zoneminder 1.30 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the path info to index.php. (CVE-2016-10202)

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Zoneminder 1.30 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the name when creating a new monitor. (CVE-2016-10203)

SQL injection vulnerability in Zoneminder 1.30 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the limit parameter in a log query request to index.php. (CVE-2016-10204)

Session fixation vulnerability in Zoneminder 1.30 and earlier allows remote attackers to hijack web sessions via the ZMSESSID cookie. (CVE-2016-10205)

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Zoneminder 1.30 and earlier allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of users for requests that change passwords and possibly have unspecified other impact as demonstrated by a crafted user action request to index.php. (CVE-2016-10206)

Multiple reflected XSS vulnerabilities exist within form and link input parameters of ZoneMinder v1.30 and v1.29, an open-source CCTV server web application, which allows a remote attacker to execute malicious scripts within an authenticated client's browser. The URL is /zm/index.php and sample parameters could include action=login&view=postlogin[XSS] view=console[XSS] view=groups[XSS] view=events&filter[terms][1][cnj]=and[XSS] view=events&filter%5Bterms%5D%5B1%5D%5Bcnj%5D=and[XSS] view=events&filter%5Bterms%5D%5B1%5D%5Bcnj%5D=[XSS]and view=events&limit=1%22%3E%3C/a%3E[XSS] (among others). (CVE-2017-5367)

ZoneMinder v1.30 and v1.29, an open-source CCTV server web application, is vulnerable to CSRF (Cross Site Request Forgery) which allows a remote attack to make changes to the web application as the current logged in victim. If the victim visits a malicious web page, the attacker can silently and automatically create a new admin user within the web application for remote persistence and further attacks. The URL is /zm/index.php and sample parameters could include action=user uid=0 newUser[Username]=attacker1 newUser[Password]=Password1234 conf_password=Password1234 newUser[System]=Edit (among others). (CVE-2017-5368)

A file disclosure and inclusion vulnerability exists in web/views/file.php in ZoneMinder 1.x through v1.30.0 because of unfiltered user-input being passed to readfile(), which allows an authenticated attacker to read local system files (e.g., /etc/passwd) in the context of the web server user (www-data). The attack vector is a .. (dot dot) in the path parameter within a zm/index.php?view=file&path= request. (CVE-2017-5595)

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) was discovered in ZoneMinder 1.30.2. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient filtration of user-supplied data (postLoginQuery) passed to the "ZoneMinder-master/web/skins/classic/views/js/postlogin.js.php" URL. An attacker could execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a browser in the context of the vulnerable website. (CVE-2017-7203)

Notes for sysadmins:

  1. CRSF attacks are now blocked by setting the ZoneMinder variable 'ENABLE_CSRF_MAGIC' to 'yes'. During system update you may want to check that this variable is set. In Mageia 'yes' is the default for new installs of ZoneMInder.
  2. Changes have been made to…
