Vulnerability Information

Severity: High
Vulnerability Published: 2014-05-15
Patch Published: 2014-05-15
CVE [?]: CVE-2014-0963
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:ibm:http_server

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of IBM HTTP Server running on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability. The Reverse Proxy feature in IBM Global Security Kit (aka GSKit) in IBM Security Access Manager (ISAM) for Web 7.0 before 7.0.0-ISS-SAM-IF0006 and 8.0 before 8.0.0.3-ISS-WGA-IF0002 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via crafted SSL messages.

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 IBM HTTP Server version 8.5.5.3, 8.0.0.9, 7.0.0.33 or later. Alternatively, upgrade to the minimal fix pack level required by the interim fix and then apply Interim Fix PI17025.

Public Exploits

Target Network Port(s): N/A
Target Asset(s): N/A
Exploit Available: True (GitHub)
Exploit Ease: Exploits (PoCs) are available

Here's the list of publicly known exploits and PoCs for verifying the IBM HTTP Server 8.5.0.0 <= 8.5.5.2 / 8.0.0.0 <= 8.0.0.8 / 7.0.0.0 <= 7.0.0.31 / 6.1.0.0 <= 6.1.0.47 / 6.0.0.0 <= 6.0.2.43 (509677) vulnerability:

GitHub: https://github.com/epsylon/orb
[CVE-2014-0963]

Before running any exploit against any system, make sure you are authorized by the owner of the target system(s) to perform such activity. In any other case, this would be considered as an illegal activity.

WARNING: Beware of using unverified exploits from sources such as GitHub or Exploit-DB. These exploits and PoCs could contain malware. For more information, see how to use exploits safely.

How to Run

Here is how to run the IBM HTTP Server 8.5.0.0 <= 8.5.5.2 / 8.0.0.0 <= 8.0.0.8 / 7.0.0.0 <= 7.0.0.31 / 6.1.0.0 <= 6.1.0.47 / 6.0.0.0 <= 6.0.2.43 (509677) as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

Click to start a New Scan.
Select Advanced Scan.
Navigate to the Plugins tab.
On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
On the left side table select Web Servers plugin family.
On the right side table select IBM HTTP Server 8.5.0.0 <= 8.5.5.2 / 8.0.0.0 <= 8.0.0.8 / 7.0.0.0 <= 7.0.0.31 / 6.1.0.0 <= 6.1.0.47 / 6.0.0.0 <= 6.0.2.43 (509677) plugin ID 144288.
Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl ibm_http_server_509677.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a ibm_http_server_509677.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - ibm_http_server_509677.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state ibm_http_server_509677.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
