CVE-2019-0196

A vulnerability was found in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.17 to 2.4.38. Using fuzzed network input, the http/2 request handling could be made to access freed memory in string comparison when determining the method of a request and thus process the request incorrectly.

A vulnerability was found in Apache HTTP Server 2.4.17 to 2.4.38. Using fuzzed network input, the http/2 request handling could be made to access freed memory in string comparison when determining the method of a request and thus process the request incorrectly.

The httpd packages provide the Apache HTTP Server, a powerful, efficient, and extensible web server.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: mod_http2 (1.15.7). (BZ#1814236)

Security Fix(es):

• httpd: memory corruption on early pushes (CVE-2019-10081)

• httpd: read-after-free in h2 connection shutdown (CVE-2019-10082)

• httpd: null-pointer dereference in mod_remoteip (CVE-2019-10097)

• httpd: mod_rewrite configurations vulnerable to open redirect (CVE-2020-1927)

• httpd: mod_http2: DoS via slow, unneeded request bodies (CVE-2018-17189)

• httpd: mod_http2: read-after-free on a string compare (CVE-2019-0196)

• httpd: mod_http2: possible crash on late upgrade (CVE-2019-0197)

• httpd: limited cross-site scripting in mod_proxy error page (CVE-2019-10092)

• httpd: mod_rewrite potential open redirect (CVE-2019-10098)

• httpd: mod_proxy_ftp use of uninitialized value (CVE-2020-1934)

This update for apache2 fixes the following issues:

• CVE-2019-0211: A flaw in the Apache HTTP Server allowed less-privileged child processes or threads to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the parent process. Attackers with control over CGI scripts or extension modules run by the server could have abused this issue to potentially gain super user privileges. [bsc#1131233]

• CVE-2019-0220: The Apache HTTP server did not use a consistent strategy for URL normalization throughout all of its components. In particular, consecutive slashes were not always collapsed. Attackers could potentially abuse these inconsistencies to by-pass access control mechanisms and thus gain unauthorized access to protected parts of the service. [bsc#1131241]

• CVE-2019-0217: A race condition in Apache's 'mod_auth_digest' when running in a threaded server could have allowed users with valid credentials to authenticate using another username, bypassing configured access control restrictions. [bsc#1131239]

• CVE-2019-0197: When HTTP/2 support was enabled in the Apache server for a 'http' host or H2Upgrade was enabled for h2 on a 'https' host, an Upgrade request from http/1.1 to http/2 that was not the first request on a connection could lead to a misconfiguration and crash. This issue could have been abused to mount a denial-of-service attack. Servers that never enabled the h2 protocol or that only enabled it for https: and did not configure the 'H2Upgrade on' are unaffected. [bsc#1131245]

• CVE-2019-0196: Through specially crafted network input the Apache's http/2 request handler could be lead to access previously freed memory while determining the method of a request. This resulted in the request being misclassified and thus being processed incorrectly. [bsc#1131237]

Charles Fol discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled the scoreboard shared memory area. A remote attacker able to upload and run scripts could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. (CVE-2019-0211)

It was discovered that the Apache HTTP Server HTTP/2 module incorrectly handled certain requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the server to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.10. (CVE-2018-17189)

It was discovered that the Apache HTTP Server incorrectly handled session expiry times. When used with mod_session_cookie, this may result in the session expiry time to be ignored, contrary to expectations. (CVE-2018-17199)

Craig Young discovered that the Apache HTTP Server HTTP/2 module incorrectly handled certain requests. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the server to process requests incorrectly. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.10. (CVE-2019-0196)

Simon Kappel discovered that the Apache HTTP Server mod_auth_digest module incorrectly handled threads. A remote attacker with valid credentials could possibly use this issue to authenticate using another username, bypassing access control restrictions. (CVE-2019-0217)

Bernhard Lorenz discovered that the Apache HTTP Server was inconsistent when processing requests containing multiple consecutive slashes. This could lead to directives such as LocationMatch and RewriteRule to perform contrary to expectations. (CVE-2019-0220)
