Severity: Remote user may access protected files Fixed: NetBSD-current: July 8th, 2014 NetBSD-6 branch: July 10th, 2014 NetBSD-6-1 branch: July 10th, 2014 NetBSD-6-0 branch: July 10th, 2014 NetBSD-5 branch: July 10th, 2014 NetBSD-5-2 branch: July 10th, 2014 NetBSD-5-1 branch: July 10th, 2014 pkgsrc: bozohttpd-20140708 corrects this issue Please note that NetBSD releases prior to 5.1 are no longer supported. It is recommended that all users upgrade to a supported release. Abstract ======== When checking for restricted access via .htpasswd files, bozohttpd fails to properly check for truncation, allowing specially crafted requests to bypass access control without a password. Files of length 10 or more are not affected. Technical Details ================= A call to snprintf() was not properly checking for truncation of a provided user path, allowing a later concatenation of the ".htpasswd" file name to exceed the maximum pathname length. This stops the check for .htpasswd file from working correctly, bypassing the basic HTTP authentication scheme. Files with names longer than ".htpasswd" are not visible as they require at least enough for a valid path to be available. Solutions and Workarounds ========================= This problem only affects users of .htpasswd files. The simplest fix is to install the latest pkgsrc bozohttpd which fixes this problem (and use it instead of the system httpd). Alternatively, to fetch a fitting base.tgz from the releng builds and install a fixed httpd from there: cd /var/tmp ftp http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/<rel>/<build>/<arch>/binary/sets/base.tgz cd / tar xzpf /var/tmp/base.tgz ./usr/libexec/httpd with the following replacements: <rel> = the release version you are using <build> = the source date of the build. 20140710* and later will fit <arch> = your system's architecture The following instructions describe how to upgrade your bozohttpd binaries by updating your source tree and rebuilding and installing a new version of bozohttpd.
