EulerOS 2.0 SP3 : mod_auth_mellon (EulerOS-SA-2019-2009)

high Nessus Plugin ID 129202

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the mod_auth_mellon package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - The am_read_post_data function in mod_auth_mellon before 0.11.1 does not check if the ap_get_client_block function returns an error, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and process crash) via a crafted POST data.(CVE-2016-2145)

 - The am_read_post_data function in mod_auth_mellon before 0.11.1 does not limit the amount of data read, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (worker process crash, web server deadlock, or memory consumption) via a large amount of POST data.(CVE-2016-2146)

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

Solution

Update the affected mod_auth_mellon packages.
