The lua_websocket_read function in lua_request.c in the mod_lua module in the Apache HTTP Server through 2.4.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (child-process crash) by sending a crafted WebSocket Ping frame after a Lua script has called the wsupgrade function.

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2015-1666 advisory.

    - core: fix chunk header parsing defect (CVE-2015-3183)
    - core: replace of ap_some_auth_required with ap_some_authn_required       and ap_force_authn hook (CVE-2015-3185)
    - core: fix pointer dereference crash with ErrorDocument 400 pointing       to a local URL-path (CVE-2015-0253)
    - mod_lua: fix possible mod_lua crash due to websocket bug (CVE-2015-0228)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to its banner, the version of Apache 2.4.x installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.16. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - A flaw exists in the lua_websocket_read() function in the 'mod_lua' module due to incorrect handling of WebSocket PING frames. A remote attacker can exploit this, by sending a crafted WebSocket PING frame after a Lua script has called the wsupgrade() function, to crash a child process, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-0228)

 - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the read_request_line() function due to a failure to initialize the protocol structure member. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw, on installations that enable the INCLUDES filter and has an ErrorDocument 400 directive specifying a local URI, by sending a request that lacks a method, to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-0253)

 - A flaw exists in the chunked transfer coding implementation due to a failure to properly parse chunk headers. A remote attacker can exploit this to conduct HTTP request smuggling attacks. (CVE-2015-3183)

 - A flaw exists in the ap_some_auth_required() function due to a failure to consider that a Require directive may be associated with an authorization setting rather than an authentication setting. A remote attacker can exploit this, if a module that relies on the 2.2 API behavior exists, to bypass intended access restrictions. (CVE-2015-3185)

 - A flaw exists in the RC4 algorithm due to an initial double-byte bias in the keystream generation. An attacker can exploit this, via Bayesian analysis that combines an a priori plaintext distribution with keystream distribution statistics, to conduct a plaintext recovery of the ciphertext. Note that RC4 cipher suites are prohibited per RFC 7465. This issue was fixed in Apache version 2.4.13; however, 2.4.13, 2.4.14, and 2.4.15 were never publicly released.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

 Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.

The version of Apache HTTP Server 2.4 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.13. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities : 

 - A flaw exists in the lua_websocket_read() function in the 'mod_lua' module due to incorrect handling of WebSocket PING frames. A remote attacker can exploit this, by sending a crafted WebSocket PING frame after a Lua script has called the wsupgrade() function, to crash a child process, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-0228) 
 - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the read_request_line() function due to a failure to initialize the protocol structure member. A remote  attacker can exploit this flaw, on installations that enable the INCLUDES filter and has an ErrorDocument 400 directive specifying a local URI, by sending a request that lacks a method, to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-0253) 
 - A flaw exists in the chunked transfer coding implementation due to a failure to properly parse chunk headers. A remote attacker can exploit this to conduct HTTP request smuggling attacks. (CVE-2015-3183) 
 - A security bypass flaw affects mod_authz_svn related to a failure to properly restrict anonymous access. This may allow anonymous access in scenarios where it is intended to be restricted to authenticated users. (CVE-2015-3184) 
 - A flaw exists in the ap_some_auth_required() function due to a failure to consider that a Require directive may be associated with an authorization setting rather than an authentication setting. A remote attacker can exploit this, if a module that relies on the 2.2 API behavior exists, to bypass intended access restrictions. (CVE-2015-3185) 
 - A flaw exists in the RC4 algorithm due to an initial double-byte bias in the keystream generation. An attacker can exploit this, via Bayesian analysis that combines a priori plaintext distribution with keystream distribution statistics, to conduct a plaintext recovery of the ciphertext. Note that RC4 cipher suites are now prohibited per RFC 7465. This issue was fixed in Apache version 2.4.13; however, 2.4.13, 2.4.14, and 2.4.15 were never publicly released. (CVE-2015-2808)

The remote Mac OS X host has a version of OS X Server installed that is prior to 5.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists in the mod_headers module that allows HTTP     trailers to replace HTTP headers late during request     processing. A remote attacker can exploit this to inject     arbitrary headers. This can also cause some modules to     function incorrectly or appear to function incorrectly.
    (CVE-2013-5704)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists due to the     'make check' command not properly invoking initdb to     specify authentication requirements for a database     cluster to be used for tests. A local attacker can     exploit this issue to gain temporary server access and     elevated privileges. (CVE-2014-0067)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in module     mod_cache. A remote attacker, using an empty HTTP     Content-Type header, can exploit this vulnerability to     crash a caching forward proxy configuration, resulting     in a denial of service if using a threaded MPM.
    (CVE-2014-3581)

  - A out-of-bounds memory read flaw exists in module     mod_proxy_fcgi. An attacker, using a remote FastCGI     server to send long response headers, can exploit this     vulnerability to cause a denial of service by causing     a buffer over-read. (CVE-2014-3583)

  - A flaw exists in module mod_lua when handling a     LuaAuthzProvider used in multiple Require directives     with different arguments. An attacker can exploit this     vulnerability to bypass intended access restrictions.
    (CVE-2014-8109)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to     improper handling of restricted column values in     constraint-violation error messages. An authenticated,     remote attacker can exploit this to gain access to     sensitive information. (CVE-2014-8161)

  - A flaw exists within the Domain Name Service due to an     error in the code used to follow delegations. A remote     attacker, with a maliciously-constructed zone or query,     can cause the service to issue unlimited queries,     resulting in resource exhaustion. (CVE-2014-8500)

  - A flaw exists in the lua_websocket_read() function in     the 'mod_lua' module due to incorrect handling of     WebSocket PING frames. A remote attacker can exploit     this, by sending a crafted WebSocket PING frame after a     Lua script has called the wsupgrade() function, to crash     a child process, resulting in a denial of service     condition. (CVE-2015-0228)

  - Multiple vulnerabilities exist due to several buffer     overflow errors related to the 'to_char' functions. An     authenticated, remote attacker can exploit these issues     to cause a denial of service or arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2015-0241)

  - Multiple vulnerabilities exist due to several     stack-based buffer overflow errors in various *printf()     functions. The overflows are due to improper validation     of user-supplied input when formatting a floating point     number where the requested precision is greater than     approximately 500. An authenticated, remote attacker     can exploit these issues to cause a denial of service or     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2015-0242)

  - Multiple vulnerabilities exist due to an overflow     condition in multiple functions in the 'pgcrypto'     extension. The overflows are due to improper validation     of user-supplied input when tracking memory sizes. An     authenticated, remote attacker can exploit these issues     to cause a denial of service or arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2015-0243)

  - A SQL injection vulnerability exists due to improper     sanitization of user-supplied input when handling     crafted binary data within a command parameter. An     authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue     to inject or manipulate SQL queries, allowing the     manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data.
    (CVE-2015-0244)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the     read_request_line() function due to a failure to     initialize the protocol structure member. A remote     attacker can exploit this flaw, on installations that     enable the INCLUDES filter and has an ErrorDocument 400     directive specifying a local URI, by sending a request     that lacks a method, to cause a denial of service     condition. (CVE-2015-0253)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists due to an error     relating to DNSSEC validation and the managed-keys     feature. A remote attacker can trigger an incorrect     trust-anchor management scenario in which no key is     ready for use, resulting in an assertion failure and     daemon crash. (CVE-2015-1349)

  - A flaw exists in PostgreSQL client disconnect timeout     expiration that is triggered when a timeout interrupt     is fired partway through the session shutdown sequence.     (CVE-2015-3165)

  - A flaw exists in the printf() functions due to a failure     to check for errors. A remote attacker can use this to     gain access to sensitive information. (CVE-2015-3166)

  - The pgcrypto component in PostgreSQL has multiple error     messages for decryption with an incorrect key. A remote     attacker can use this to recover keys from other     systems. (CVE-2015-3167)

  - A flaw exists in the chunked transfer coding     implementation due to a failure to properly parse chunk     headers. A remote attacker can exploit this to conduct     HTTP request smuggling attacks. (CVE-2015-3183)

  - A flaw exists in the ap_some_auth_required() function     due to a failure to consider that a Require directive     may be associated with an authorization setting rather     than an authentication setting. A remote attacker can     exploit this, if a module that relies on the 2.2 API     behavior exists, to bypass intended access restrictions.
    (CVE-2015-3185)

  - Multiple unspecified XML flaws exist in the Wiki Server     based on Twisted. (CVE-2015-5911)

It was discovered that in httpd 2.4, the internal API function ap_some_auth_required() could incorrectly indicate that a request was authenticated even when no authentication was used. An httpd module using this API function could consequently allow access that should have been denied. (CVE-2015-3185)

Multiple flaws were found in the way httpd parsed HTTP requests and responses using chunked transfer encoding. A remote attacker could use these flaws to create a specially crafted request, which httpd would decode differently from an HTTP proxy software in front of it, possibly leading to HTTP request smuggling attacks. (CVE-2015-3183)

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way httpd generated certain error responses. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw crash the httpd child process using a request that triggers a certain HTTP error. (CVE-2015-0253)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the mod_lua httpd module processed certain WebSocket Ping requests. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted WebSocket Ping packet that would cause the httpd child process to crash. (CVE-2015-0228)

Jim Jagielski reports :

CVE-2015-3183 (cve.mitre.org) core: Fix chunk header parsing defect.
Remove apr_brigade_flatten(), buffering and duplicated code from the HTTP_IN filter, parse chunks in a single pass with zero copy. Limit accepted chunk-size to 2^63-1 and be strict about chunk-ext authorized characters.

CVE-2015-3185 (cve.mitre.org) Replacement of ap_some_auth_required (unusable in Apache httpd 2.4) with new ap_some_authn_required and ap_force_authn hook.

CVE-2015-0253 (cve.mitre.org) core: Fix a crash with ErrorDocument 400 pointing to a local URL-path with the INCLUDES filter active, introduced in 2.4.11. PR 57531.

CVE-2015-0228 (cve.mitre.org) mod_lua: A maliciously crafted websockets PING after a script calls r:wsupgrade() can cause a child process crash.

Apache2 updated to fix four security issues and one non-security bug.

The following vulnerabilities have been fixed :

  - mod_headers rules could be bypassed via chunked     requests. Adds 'MergeTrailers' directive to restore     legacy behavior. (bsc#871310, CVE-2013-5704)

  - An empty value in Content-Type could lead to a crash     through a null pointer dereference and a denial of     service. (bsc#899836, CVE-2014-3581)

  - Remote attackers could bypass intended access     restrictions in mod_lua LuaAuthzProvider when multiple     Require directives with different arguments are used.
    (bsc#909715, CVE-2014-8109)

  - Remote attackers could cause a denial of service     (child-process crash) by sending a crafted WebSocket     Ping frame after a Lua script has called the wsupgrade     function. (bsc#918352, CVE-2015-0228)

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Updated apache packages fix security vulnerabilities :

Apache HTTPD before 2.4.9 was vulnerable to a denial of service in mod_dav when handling DAV_WRITE requests (CVE-2013-6438).

Apache HTTPD before 2.4.9 was vulnerable to a denial of service when logging cookies (CVE-2014-0098).

A race condition flaw, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, was found in the mod_status httpd module. A remote attacker able to access a status page served by mod_status on a server using a threaded Multi-Processing Module (MPM) could send a specially crafted request that would cause the httpd child process to crash or, possibly, allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the apache user (CVE-2014-0226).

A denial of service flaw was found in the mod_proxy httpd module. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request to a server configured as a reverse proxy using a threaded Multi-Processing Modules (MPM) that would cause the httpd child process to crash (CVE-2014-0117).

A denial of service flaw was found in the way httpd's mod_deflate module handled request body decompression (configured via the DEFLATE input filter). A remote attacker able to send a request whose body would be decompressed could use this flaw to consume an excessive amount of system memory and CPU on the target system (CVE-2014-0118).

A denial of service flaw was found in the way httpd's mod_cgid module executed CGI scripts that did not read data from the standard input. A remote attacker could submit a specially crafted request that would cause the httpd child process to hang indefinitely (CVE-2014-0231).

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the mod_cache httpd module handled Content-Type headers. A malicious HTTP server could cause the httpd child process to crash when the Apache HTTP server was configured to proxy to a server with caching enabled (CVE-2014-3581).

mod_lua.c in the mod_lua module in the Apache HTTP Server through 2.4.10 does not support an httpd configuration in which the same Lua authorization provider is used with different arguments within different contexts, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions in opportunistic circumstances by leveraging multiple Require directives, as demonstrated by a configuration that specifies authorization for one group to access a certain directory, and authorization for a second group to access a second directory (CVE-2014-8109).

In the mod_lua module in the Apache HTTP Server through 2.4.10, a maliciously crafted websockets PING after a script calls r:wsupgrade() can cause a child process crash (CVE-2015-0228).

A flaw was found in the way httpd handled HTTP Trailer headers when processing requests using chunked encoding. A malicious client could use Trailer headers to set additional HTTP headers after header processing was performed by other modules. This could, for example, lead to a bypass of header restrictions defined with mod_headers (CVE-2013-5704).

Note: With this update, httpd has been modified to not merge HTTP Trailer headers with other HTTP request headers. A newly introduced configuration directive MergeTrailers can be used to re-enable the old method of processing Trailer headers, which also re-introduces the aforementioned flaw.

This update also fixes the following bug :

Prior to this update, the mod_proxy_wstunnel module failed to set up an SSL connection when configured to use a back end server using the wss: URL scheme, causing proxied connections to fail. In these updated packages, SSL is used when proxying to wss: back end servers (rhbz#1141950).

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2523-1 advisory.
