Vulnerability Information


Severity: High
Vulnerability Published: 2013-05-07
Patch Published: 2013-05-07
CVE [?]: CVE-2013-2028, CVE-2013-2070
CPE [?]: cpe:/o:freebsd:freebsd, p-cpe:/a:freebsd:freebsd:nginx, p-cpe:/a:freebsd:freebsd:nginx-devel

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The nginx project reports :

A stack-based buffer overflow might occur in a worker process process while handling a specially crafted request, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. [CVE-2013-2028]

A security problem related to CVE-2013-2028 was identified, affecting some previous nginx versions if proxy_pass to untrusted upstream HTTP servers is used.

The problem may lead to a denial of service or a disclosure of a worker process memory on a specially crafted response from an upstream proxied server. [CVE-2013-2070]

Solution

Update the affected packages.

  8. 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 freebsd_pkg_efaa4071b70011e2b1b9f0def16c5c1b.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a freebsd_pkg_efaa4071b70011e2b1b9f0def16c5c1b.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

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

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - freebsd_pkg_efaa4071b70011e2b1b9f0def16c5c1b.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 freebsd_pkg_efaa4071b70011e2b1b9f0def16c5c1b.nasl -t <IP/HOST>
