A vulnerability identified in NetIQ Advance Authentication that leaks sensitive server information. This issue affects NetIQ Advance Authentication version before 6.3.5.1

Impact

The Keylime registrar does not enforce mutual TLS (mTLS) client certificate authentication since version 7.12.0. The registrar's TLS context is configured with ssl.CERTOPTIONAL instead of ssl.CERTREQUIRED, allowing any client to connect to protected API endpoints without presenting a valid client certificate.

Who is impacted: - All Keylime deployments running versions 7.12.0 through 7.13.0 - Environments where the registrar HTTPS port (default 8891) is network-accessible to untrusted clients

What an attacker can do: - List all registered agents (GET /v2/agents/) - enumerate the entire agent inventory - Retrieve agent details (GET /v2/agents/{uuid}) - obtain public TPM keys, certificates, and network locations (IP/port) of any agent - Delete any agent (DELETE /v2/agents/{uuid}) - remove agents from the registry, disrupting attestation services

Note: The exposed TPM data (EK, AK, certificates) consists of public keys and certificates. Private keys remain protected within TPM hardware. The HMAC secret used for challenge-response validation is stored in the database but is not exposed via the API.

Affected versions: >= 7.12.0, <= 7.13.0

Fixed versions: 7.12.2, >= 7.13.1

Patches

A patch for the affected released versions is available. It removes the line that override the configuration of ssl.verifymode, leaving the CERTREQUIRED value set by webutil.initmtls():

Users should upgrade to the patched version once it is released.

Workarounds

If upgrading is not immediately possible, apply one of the following mitigations:

1. Network isolation (Recommended)

Restrict access to the registrar HTTPS port (default 8891) using firewall rules to allow only trusted hosts (verifier, tenant):

Example using iptables iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8891 -s <verifierip> -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8891 -s <tenantip> -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8891 -j DROP

2. Reverse proxy with mTLS enforcement

Deploy a reverse proxy (nginx, HAProxy) in front of the registrar that enforces client certificate authentication:

Example nginx configuration server { listen 8891 ssl; sslcertificate /path/to/server.crt; sslcertificatekey /path/to/server.key; sslclientcertificate /path/to/ca.crt; sslverifyclient on; # Enforce client certificates

location / { proxypass https://localhost:8892; # Internal registrar port } }

Affected versions: 2.6-6.3. Patched in 6.4.

A remote stack overflow in the TIPC networking module. With FORTIFYSOURCE's stricter memcpy() bounds checking, this can be exploited to cause remote DOS via kernel panic on systems using TIPC. Prior to these bounds checks, and with a canary leak (or no CONFIGSTACKPROTECTOR), this can be exploited for RCE.

A flaw was found in sudo before version 1.8.28. When sudo is configured to allow a user to run commands as an arbitrary user via the 'ALL' keyword in a 'Runas' specification, it is possible to run commands as root.

Gnome Pango 1.42 and later is affected by: Buffer Overflow. The impact is: The heap based buffer overflow can be used to get code execution. The component is: function name: pangolog2visgetembeddinglevels, assignment of nchars and the loop condition. The attack vector is: Bug can be used when application pass invalid utf-8 strings to functions like pangoitemize.

A security regression for CVE-2019-9636 was discovered in python's functions urllib.parse.urlsplit and urllib.parse.urlparse, introduced with commit d537ab0ff9767ef024f26246899728f0116b1ec3. No upstream python version is affected by this regression but the vulnerable commit may already have been included downstream as part of the original fix for CVE-2019-9636.

Affected python versions ignore the user/password part before @ in the netloc component of a URL, thus it still allows an attacker to exploit the vulnerability as in CVE-2019-9636. Those functions do not properly handle URLs encoded with Punycode/Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA), which may result in a wrong domain name (specifically the netloc component of URL - user@domain:port) being returned by those functions. When an application parses user-supplied URLs to store cookies, authentication credentials, or other kind of information, it is possible for an attacker to provide specially crafted URLs to make the application locate host-related information (e.g. cookies, authentication data) and send them to a different host than where it should, unlike if the URLs had been correctly parsed. The result of an attack may vary based on the application.

A vulnerability was found in FreeRadius. An invalid curve attack allows an attacker to authenticate as any user (without knowing the password). The problem is that on the reception of an EAP-PWD Commit frame, FreeRADIUS doesn't verify whether the received elliptic curve point is valid.

A vulnerability was found in Python 2.7.x through 2.7.16 and 3.x through 3.7.2. An improper Handling of Unicode Encoding (with an incorrect netloc) during NFKC normalization could lead to an Information Disclosure (credentials, cookies, etc. that are cached against a given hostname) in the urllib.parse.urlsplit, urllib.parse.urlparse components. A specially crafted URL could be incorrectly parsed to locate cookies or authentication data and send that information to a different host than when parsed correctly.

In Apache httpd 2.2.0 to 2.4.29, when generating an HTTP Digest authentication challenge, the nonce sent to prevent reply attacks was not correctly generated using a pseudo-random seed. In a cluster of servers using a common Digest authentication configuration, HTTP requests could be replayed across servers by an attacker without detection.

An XML deserialization vulnerability was discovered in slf4j's EventData, which accepts an XML serialized string and can lead to arbitrary code execution.

Go before 1.8.4 and 1.9.x before 1.9.1 allows "go get" remote command execution. Using custom domains, it is possible to arrange things so that example.com/pkg1 points to a Subversion repository but example.com/pkg1/pkg2 points to a Git repository. If the Subversion repository includes a Git checkout in its pkg2 directory and some other work is done to ensure the proper ordering of operations, "go get" can be tricked into reusing this Git checkout for the fetch of code from pkg2. If the Subversion repository's Git checkout has malicious commands in .git/hooks/, they will execute on the system running "go get."
