high Nessus Plugin ID 168825

Synopsis

HCL BigFix is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of HCL BigFix Client installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

- An improper authentication vulnerability exists in the curl subcomponent which might allow reuse OAUTH2-authenticated connections without properly making sure that the connection was authenticated with the same credentials as set for this transfer. This affects SASL-enabled protocols: SMPTP(S), IMAP(S), POP3(S) and LDAP(S) (openldap only). (CVE-2022-22576)

- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the curl subcomponent. Using an IPv6 address that was in the connection pool but with a different zone id it could reuse a connection instead. (CVE-2022-27775)

- A insufficiently protected credentials vulnerability in fixed the curl subcomponent might leak authentication or cookie header data on HTTP redirects to the same host but another port number.
(CVE-2022-27776)

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

Solution

Upgrade to HCL BigFix Platform version 9.5.20, 10.0.7, or later.
