Tenable SecurityCenter < 6.1.0 Multiple Vulnerabilities (TNS-2023-16)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 173301

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the Tenable SecurityCenter application installed on the remote host is running 6.0.0 or earlier and is therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities in Apache prior to version 2.4.56 and PHP prior to version 8.1.16:

- Some mod_proxy configurations on Apache HTTP Server versions 2.4.0 through 2.4.55 allow a HTTP Request Smuggling attack. Configurations are affected when mod_proxy is enabled along with some form of RewriteRule or ProxyPassMatch in which a non-specific pattern matches some portion of the user-supplied request-target data and is then re-inserted into the proxied request-target using variable substitution. (CVE-2023-25690)

- In PHP 8.0.X before 8.0.28, 8.1.X before 8.1.16 and 8.2.X before 8.2.3, excessive number of parts in HTTP form upload can cause high resource consumption and excessive number of log entries. This can cause denial of service on the affected server by exhausting CPU resources or disk space. (CVE-2023-0662)

- In PHP 8.0.X before 8.0.28, 8.1.X before 8.1.16 and 8.2.X before 8.2.3, core path resolution function allocate buffer one byte too small. When resolving paths with lengths close to system MAXPATHLEN setting, this may lead to the byte after the allocated buffer being overwritten with NUL value, which might lead to unauthorized data access or modification. (CVE-2023-0568)

Solution

Update to Tenable SecurityCenter 6.1.0 or later or apply the security patches referenced in the advisory.
