K35453761: cURL and libcurl vulnerability CVE-2017-2628
Original Publication Date: 29 Mar, 2018
Latest Publication Date: 19 Feb, 2021
Security Advisory Description
cURL, as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 before version 7.19.7-53, did
not correctly backport the fix for CVE-2015-3148 because it did not reflect the
fact that the HAVE_GSSAPI define was meanwhile substituted by
USE_HTTP_NEGOTIATE. This issue was introduced in RHEL 6.7 and affects RHEL 6
cURL only. (CVE-2017-2628)
Impact
An application using libcurl with HTTP Negotiate authentication can incorrectly
re-use credentials for subsequent requests to the same server.
Security Advisory Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 681535 (BIG-IP), ID 682158 (BIG-IQ),
ID 682153 (Enterprise Manager), ID 687002 (iWorkflow), and INSTALLER-3051
(Traffix) to this vulnerability. Additionally, BIG-IP iHealth may list
Heuristic H35453761 on the Diagnostics > Identified > Medium page.

^1The CVSSv3 score link takes you to a resource outside of AskF5, and it is
possible that the document may be removed without our knowledge.
^2Exposure to the vulnerability is possible only using a non-standard
configuration; the cURL libraries and use of NTLM are not exposed in standard
BIG-IP monitors. Custom EAV monitors using cURL and NTLM may be prone to this
vulnerability.
Security Advisory Recommended Actions
If you are running a version listed in the Versions known to be vulnerable
column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to a version listed
in the Fixes introduced in column. If the table lists only an older version
than what you are currently running, or does not list a non-vulnerable version,
then no upgrade candidate currently exists.
To determine the necessary upgrade path for your BIG-IQ system, you should
understand the BIG-IQ product offering name changes. For more information,
refer to K21232150: Considerations for upgrading BIG-IQ or F5 iWorkflow systems
.
