GLSA-200403-14 : Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in Monit
2004-08-30T00:00:00
ID GENTOO_GLSA-200403-14.NASL Type nessus Reporter Tenable Modified 2015-04-13T00:00:00
Description
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200403-14 (Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in Monit)
A denial of service may occur due to Monit not sanitizing remotely supplied HTTP parameters before passing them to memory allocation functions. This could allow an attacker to cause an unexpected condition that could lead to the Monit daemon crashing.
An overly long http request method may cause a buffer overflow due to Monit performing insufficient bounds checking when handling HTTP requests.
Impact :
An attacker may crash the Monit daemon to create a denial of service condition or cause a buffer overflow that would allow arbitrary code to be executed with root privileges.
Workaround :
A workaround is not currently known for this issue. All users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.

An upgrade is required as there are no known workarounds.\n## Short Description\nA remote overflow exists in Monit HTTP Server. The HTTP Server fails to verify the length of an incoming request resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability.\n## References:\nVendor Specific Solution URL: http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/dist/\n[Vendor Specific Advisory URL](http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/dist/CHANGES.txt)\n[Vendor Specific Advisory URL](http://www.linuxsecurity.com/advisories/gentoo_advisory-4182.html)\n[Secunia Advisory ID:10280](https://secuniaresearch.flexerasoftware.com/advisories/10280/)\n[Related OSVDB ID: 2865](https://vulners.com/osvdb/OSVDB:2865)\nMail List Post: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2004-05/0387.html\nISS X-Force ID: 13817\nGeneric Informational URL: http://www.s-quadra.com/advisories/Adv-20031124.txt\n[CVE-2003-1083](https://vulners.com/cve/CVE-2003-1083)\nCERT VU: 206382\nBugtraq ID: 9099\n", "published": "2003-11-24T08:36:46", "cvss": {"score": 10.0, "vector": "AV:NETWORK/AC:LOW/Au:NONE/C:COMPLETE/I:COMPLETE/A:COMPLETE/"}, "href": "https://vulners.com/osvdb/OSVDB:2858", "cvelist": ["CVE-2003-1083"], "lastseen": "2017-04-28T13:19:57"}, {"id": "OSVDB:2865", "type": "osvdb", "title": "Monit Content-Length HTTP Request DoS", "description": "## Vulnerability Description\nMonit HTTP Server contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service.

This could allow an attacker to cause an unexpected condition that could lead to the Monit daemon crashing. \n\nAn overly long http request method may cause a buffer overflow due to Monit performing insufficient bounds checking when handling HTTP requests. \n\n### Impact\n\nAn attacker may crash the Monit daemon to create a denial of service condition or cause a buffer overflow that would allow arbitrary code to be executed with root privileges. \n\n### Workaround\n\nA workaround is not currently known for this issue.
