Security Bulletin
Summary
There are multiple vulnerabilities in Apache HTTP Server affecting IBM Rational Build Forge.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2018-1283
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTPD could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by an error when mod_session is configured with SessionEnv on to forward session data to CGI applications. By using a specially crafted "Session" header, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to modify mod_session data on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/140856 for the current score.
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

CVEID: CVE-2018-1302
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTPD could provide weaker than expected security. By sending specially crafted data, an attacker could write a NULL pointer to an already freed memory when shutting down an HTTP/2 stream.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/140855 for the current score.

CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2018-1303
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTPD is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-bounds memory read error in mod_cache_socache. By sending a specially crafted HTTP request header, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the service to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/140854 for the current score.
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2018-1312
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTPD could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to properly generate an HTTP Digest authentication nonce when generating an HTTP Digest authentication challenge. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to replay HTTP requests across servers without detection.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/140853 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
CVEID: CVE-2018-1301
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTPD is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-bounds access error after a header size limit has been reached reading the HTTP header. By sending a specially crafted HTTP request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the service to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/140852 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)
CVEID: CVE-2017-15715
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTPD could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the < FilesMatch > expression matching '$' to a newline character in a malicious filename instead of the end of the filename. By matching the trailing portion of the filename, an attacker could exploit to bypass security controls that use the < FilesMatch > directive.
CVSS Base Score: 3.7
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/140857 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N)
CVEID: CVE-2017-15710
DESCRIPTION: Apache HTTPD is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-bounds memory write error. By sending a specially crafted Accept-Language header value, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the service to crash.
