libcurl wrongly allows cookies to be set for TLDs, thus making them much broader then they are supposed to be allowed to. This can allow arbitrary sites to set cookies that then would get sent to a different and unrelated site or domain.

By not detecting and rejecting domain names for partial literal IP addresses properly when parsing received HTTP cookies, libcurl can be fooled to both sending cookies to wrong sites and into allowing arbitrary sites to set cookies for others.

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.10.x that is prior to 10.10.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - apache
  - apache_mod_php
  - Apple ID OD Plug-in
  - AppleGraphicsControl
  - Bluetooth
  - bootp
  - CloudKit
  - CoreMedia Playback
  - CoreText
  - curl

  - Date & Time pref pane
  - Dictionary Application
  - DiskImages
  - dyld
  - FontParser
  - groff
  - ImageIO
  - Install Framework Legacy
  - IOFireWireFamily
  - IOGraphics
  - IOHIDFamily
  - Kernel

  - Notification Center OSX
  - ntfs

  - Quick Look
  - QuickTime 7
  - SceneKit
  - Security
  - SMBClient

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

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has curl packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The redirect implementation in curl and libcurl 5.11 through 7.19.3, when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is     enabled, accepts arbitrary Location values, which might allow remote HTTP servers to (1) trigger arbitrary     requests to intranet servers, (2) read or overwrite arbitrary files via a redirect to a file: URL, or (3)     execute arbitrary commands via a redirect to an scp: URL. (CVE-2009-0037)

  - The Curl_input_negotiate function in http_negotiate.c in libcurl 7.10.6 through 7.21.6, as used in curl     and other products, always performs credential delegation during GSSAPI authentication, which allows     remote servers to impersonate clients via GSSAPI requests. (CVE-2011-2192)

  - curl and libcurl 7.2x before 7.24.0 do not properly consider special characters during extraction of a     pathname from a URL, which allows remote attackers to conduct data-injection attacks via a crafted URL, as     demonstrated by a CRLF injection attack on the (1) IMAP, (2) POP3, or (3) SMTP protocol. (CVE-2012-0036)

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the Curl_sasl_create_digest_md5_message function in lib/curl_sasl.c in curl     and libcurl 7.26.0 through 7.28.1, when negotiating SASL DIGEST-MD5 authentication, allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string in     the realm parameter in a (1) POP3, (2) SMTP or (3) IMAP message. (CVE-2013-0249)

  - The tailMatch function in cookie.c in cURL and libcurl before 7.30.0 does not properly match the path     domain when sending cookies, which allows remote attackers to steal cookies via a matching suffix in the     domain of a URL. (CVE-2013-1944)

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

Versions of cURL/libcURL older than 7.38.0 are unpatched for the following remote security bypass vulnerabilities due to errors in the way it handles cookies:

  - Handling of IP addresses in cookie domain when parsing received HTTP cookies can be leveraged to obtain sensitive information, such as HTTP cookies (CVE-2014-3613)

  - Failure to restrict libcurl-based HTTP clients from leaking cookie information, which can be leveraged by setting cookies to Top Level Domains (TLD) to bypass security restrictions to an unrelated site or domain (CVE-2014-3620)
