CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

glusterfs server before versions 3.10.12, 4.0.2 is vulnerable when using 'auth.allow' option which allows any unauthenticated gluster client to connect from any network to mount gluster storage volumes. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of a CVE-2018-1088 regression.

A flaw was found in glusterfs which can lead to privilege escalation on gluster server nodes.

It was found that any gluster client authenticated via TLS could use gluster cli with --remote-host command to add itself to gluster trusted pool and perform all gluster operations like peer probe itself or other machines, start, stop, delete volumes etc.

Buffer Overflow
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

GlusterFS is vulnerable to multiple stack-based buffer overflows due to functions in server-rpc-fops.c allocating fixed-size buffers using 'alloca(3)'. A remote attacker could expliot this by mounting a Gluster volume and sending a string longer than the fixed buffer to cause a crash or potential code execution.

GlusterFS does not properly sanitize file paths in the "trusted.io-stats-dump" extended attribute (xattr) as used by the "debug/io-stats" translator. The value of this extended attribute is not properly sanitized and can be exploited by an attacker to create files in arbitrary locations and subsequently execute arbitrary code. To exploit this an attacker would require sufficient access to modify the extended attributes of files on a Gluster volume.

A flaw was found in RPC request using gfs3symlinkreq in glusterfs server which allows symlink destinations to point to file paths outside of the gluster volume. An authenticated attacker could use this flaw to create arbitrary symlinks pointing anywhere on the server and execute arbitrary code on glusterfs server nodes.

Remedy

To limit exposure of gluster server nodes : 1. gluster server should be on LAN and not reachable from public networks. 2. Use gluster auth.allow and auth.reject. 3. Use TLS certificates to authenticate gluster clients. caveat: This does not protect from attacks by authenticated gluster clients.

Gluster versions 3.12.14 and 4.1.4 included incomplete fixes for the vulnerabilities, CVE-2018-10927, CVE-2018-10928, CVE-2018-10929, CVE-2018-10930 and CVE-2018-10926. All five vulnerabilities remain exploitable via symlinks pointing to relative paths. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit one of these vulnerabilities to force a server to resolve target paths and achieve a maximum impact of arbitrary code execution.
