Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in mapserver, a CGI-based web framework to publish spatial data and interactive mapping applications. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  • CVE-2009-0843 Missing input validation on a user-supplied map queryfile name can be used by an attacker to check for the existence of a specific file by using the queryfile GET parameter and checking for differences in error messages.

  • CVE-2009-0842 A lack of file type verification when parsing a map file can lead to partial disclosure of content from arbitrary files through parser error messages.

  • CVE-2009-0841 Due to missing input validation when saving map files under certain conditions it is possible to perform directory traversal attacks and to create arbitrary files. NOTE: Unless the attacker is able to create directories in the image path or there is already a readable directory this doesnโ€™t affect installations on Linux as the fopen() syscall will fail in case a sub path is not readable.

  • CVE-2009-0839 It was discovered that mapserver is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow when processing certain GET parameters. An attacker can use this to execute arbitrary code on the server via crafted id parameters.

  • CVE-2009-0840 An integer overflow leading to a heap-based buffer overflow when processing the Content-Length header of an HTTP request can be used by an attacker to execute arbitrary code via crafted POST requests containing negative Content-Length values.

  • CVE-2009-2281 An integer overflow when processing HTTP requests can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow. An attacker can use this to execute arbitrary code either via crafted Content-Length values or large HTTP request. This is partly because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2009-0840.
