Debian DLA-1962-1 : graphite-web security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 130131

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The 'send_email' function in graphite-web/webapp/graphite/composer/views.py in Graphite is vulnerable to SSRF. The vulnerable SSRF endpoint can be used by an attacker to have the Graphite web server request any resource. The response to this SSRF request is encoded into an image file and then sent to an e-mail address that can be supplied by the attacker. Thus, an attacker can exfiltrate any information.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.12+debian-6+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your graphite-web packages.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected graphite-web package.
