BACKGROUND nginx is a HTTP and reverse proxy server written by Igor Sysoev. Varnish is a state-of-the-art, high-performance HTTP accelerator. Cherokee is a very fast, flexible and easy to configure Web Server. thttpd is a simple, small, portable, fast, and secure HTTP server. mini\_httpd is a small HTTP server. WEBrick is a Ruby library providing simple HTTP web server services. Orion Application Server is a pure java application-server. AOLserver is America Online's Open-Source web server. Yaws is a HTTP high perfomance 1.1 webserver. Boa is a single-tasking HTTP server. II. DESCRIPTION Nginx, Varnish, Cherokee, thttpd, mini-httpd, WEBrick, Orion, AOLserver, Yaws and Boa are subject to logs escape sequence injection vulnerabilites. Escape sequences are special characters sequences that are used to instruct the terminal to perform special operations like executing commands \[4, 5\] or dumping the buffer to a file \[6, 7\]. When the webserver is executed in foreground in a pty or when the logfiles are viewed with tools like "cat" or "tail" such control chars reach the terminal and are executed. III.

WORKAROUND Cherokee and WEBrick (Ruby) released related security fixes and releases as detailed below. Cherokee issued a public patch that resolved the issue but caused some issues (http://svn.cherokee-project.com/changeset/3944) and has been later replaced (http://svn.cherokee-project.com/changeset/3977) by a better fix that both resolve the issue and doesn't affect the normal webserver behavior. Use the second patch or a safe release like 0.99.34 or above. If you are using Cherokee 0.99.32 please note that your build uses the first patch. Webrick (Ruby) sent us the following patch and issued a release that fixes the issues. Detailed informations are available at the following url: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2010/01/10/webrick-escape-sequence-injection The patch we reviewed is the following but please refer to the vendor's article for exact informations. --8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<-- Index: lib/webrick/httpstatus.rb =================================================================== --- lib/webrick/httpstatus.rb (revision 26065) +++ lib/webrick/httpstatus.rb (working copy) @@ -13,5 +13,15 @@ module WEBrick module HTTPStatus - class Status < StandardError; end + class Status < StandardError + def initialize(message, \*rest) + super(AccessLog.escape(message), \*rest) + end + class << self + attr\_reader :code, :reason\_phrase + end + def code() self::class::code end + def reason\_phrase() self::class::reason\_phrase end + alias to\_i code + end class Info < Status; end class Success < Status; end @@ -69,4 +79,5 @@ module WEBrick StatusMessage.each{|code, message| + message.freeze var\_name = message.gsub(/\[ \\-\]/,'\_').upcase err\_name = message.gsub(/\[ \\-\]/,'') @@ -80,16 +91,10 @@ module WEBrick end - eval %- - RC\_#{var\_name} = #{code} - class #{err\_name} < #{parent} - def self.code() RC\_#{var\_name} end - def self.reason\_phrase() StatusMessage\[code\] end - def code() self::class::code end - def reason\_phrase() self::class::reason\_phrase end - alias to\_i code - end - - - - CodeToError\[code\] = const\_get(err\_name) + const\_set("RC\_#{var\_name}", code) + err\_class = Class.new(parent) + err\_class.instance\_variable\_set(:@code, code) + err\_class.instance\_variable\_set(:@reason\_phrase, message) + const\_set(err\_name, err\_class) + CodeToError\[code\] = err\_class } Index: lib/webrick/httprequest.rb =================================================================== --- lib/webrick/httprequest.rb (revision 26065) +++ lib/webrick/httprequest.rb (working copy) @@ -267,9 +267,5 @@ module WEBrick end end - begin - @header = HTTPUtils::parse\_header(@raw\_header.join) - rescue => ex - raise HTTPStatus::BadRequest, ex.message - end + @header = HTTPUtils::parse\_header(@raw\_header.join) end Index: lib/webrick/httputils.rb =================================================================== --- lib/webrick/httputils.rb (revision 26065) +++ lib/webrick/httputils.rb (working copy) @@ -130,9 +130,9 @@ module WEBrick value = $1 unless field - raise "bad header '#{line.inspect}'." + raise HTTPStatus::BadRequest, "bad header '#{line}'." end header\[field\]\[-1\] << " " << value else - raise "bad header '#{line.inspect}'." + raise HTTPStatus::BadRequest, "bad header '#{line}'." end } Index: lib/webrick/accesslog.rb =================================================================== --- lib/webrick/accesslog.rb (revision 26065) +++ lib/webrick/accesslog.rb (working copy) @@ -54,5 +54,5 @@ module WEBrick raise AccessLogError, "parameter is required for \\"#{spec}\\"" unless param - params\[spec\]\[param\] || "-" + param = params\[spec\]\[param\] ? escape(param) : "-" when ?t params\[spec\].strftime(param || CLF\_TIME\_FORMAT) @@ -60,8 +60,16 @@ module WEBrick "%" else - params\[spec\] + escape(params\[spec\].to\_s) end } end + + def escape(data) + if data.tainted? + data.gsub(/\[\[:cntrl:\]\\\\\]+/) {$&.dump\[1...-1\]}.untaint + else + data + end + end end end --8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<-- VI. VENDOR RESPONSE We contacted the vendors of eleven affected webservers, counting the previous advisory \[1\] for Jetty. Three fixed the issue (Cherokee, WEBrick/Ruby and Jetty), one will not fix the issue (Varnish) and one acknowledged the issue (AOLserver). Nginx NO-RESPONSE Cherokee FIXED thttpd NO-RESPONSE mini-httpd NO-RESPONSE WEBrick FIXED Orion NO-RESPONSE AOLserver ACK Yaws NO-RESPONSE Boa NO-RESPONSE Varnish WONT-FIX The response was overall good and it was nice to work with them, in particular we want to thank Cherokee's staff, Ruby's staff, Raphael Geissert (Debian) and Steven M. Christey (Mitre) for the support. Poul-Henning Kamp (Varnish) replied to our contact email with the following email that we quote as-is. --8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<-- The official Varnish response, which I ask that you include in its entirety in your advisory, if you list Varnish as "vulnerable" in it: This is not a security problem in Varnish or any other piece of software which writes a logfile. The real problem is the mistaken belief that you can cat(1) a random logfile to your terminal safely. This is not a new issue. I first remember the issue with xterm(1)'s inadvisably implemented escape-sequences in a root-context, brought up heatedly, in 1988, possibly late 1987, at Copenhagens University Computer Science dept. (Diku.dk). Since then, nothing much have changed. The wisdom of terminal-response-escapes in general have been questioned at regular intervals, but still none of the major terminal emulation programs have seen fit to discard these sequences, probably in a misguided attempt at compatibility with no longer used 1970'es technology. I admit that listing "found a security hole in all HTTP-related programs that write logfiles" will look more impressive on a resume, but I think it is misguided and a sign of trophy-hunting having overtaken common sense. Instead of blaming any and all programs which writes logfiles, it would be much more productive, from a security point of view, to get the terminal emulation programs to stop doing stupid things, and thus fix this and other security problems once and for all. --8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<-- We would like to punctuate the following facts: 1) We totally agree that the root of the problem is an unwise design in the terminal emulators. If in 70' controls were sent out of band on a secondary channel we would not have the equivalent of Blue Boxing in the terminal. This is a known issue from years. We didn't invented this attack vector and never claimed so. We don't think that design changes will happen in the short or mid term so it's better to have a proactive approach and sanitize outputs where functionalities are likely to not be affected at all like in this case. Security in complex systems requires some synergy. 2) Varnish is the only program that doesn't need a "cat" program as logs are stored in memory and displayed using the "varnishlog" utility. 2) Apache fixed a similiar bug (CVE-2003-0020), "Low: Error log escape filtering", in 2004 (six years ago). The bug was affecting Apache up to 1.3.29 \[8\] or 2.0.48 \[9\] depending on the branch. Take you conclusion, criticize if you want. In the meantime things are a little safer. VII.
