Summary

A maliciously constructed svn+ssh:// URL would cause Subversion clients before 1.8.19, 1.9.x before 1.9.7, and 1.10.0.x through 1.10.0-alpha3 to run an arbitrary shell command. Such a URL could be generated by a malicious server, by a malicious user committing to a honest server (to attack another user of that server's repositories), or by a proxy server. The vulnerability affects all clients, including those that use file://, http://, and plain (untunneled) svn://.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Server Side Include (SSI) Injection
    An attacker can use Server Side Include (SSI) Injection to send code to a web application that then gets executed by the web server. Doing so enables the attacker to achieve similar results to Cross Site Scripting, viz., arbitrary code execution and information disclosure, albeit on a more limited scale, since the SSI directives are nowhere near as powerful as a full-fledged scripting language. Nonetheless, the attacker can conveniently gain access to sensitive files, such as password files, and execute shell commands.
  • Cross Zone Scripting
    An attacker is able to cause a victim to load content into their web-browser that bypasses security zone controls and gain access to increased privileges to execute scripting code or other web objects such as unsigned ActiveX controls or applets. This is a privilege elevation attack targeted at zone-based web-browser security. In a zone-based model, pages belong to one of a set of zones corresponding to the level of privilege assigned to that page. Pages in an untrusted zone would have a lesser level of access to the system and/or be restricted in the types of executable content it was allowed to invoke. In a cross-zone scripting attack, a page that should be assigned to a less privileged zone is granted the privileges of a more trusted zone. This can be accomplished by exploiting bugs in the browser, exploiting incorrect configuration in the zone controls, through a cross-site scripting attack that causes the attackers' content to be treated as coming from a more trusted page, or by leveraging some piece of system functionality that is accessible from both the trusted and less trusted zone. This attack differs from "Restful Privilege Escalation" in that the latter correlates to the inadequate securing of RESTful access methods (such as HTTP DELETE) on the server, while cross-zone scripting attacks the concept of security zones as implemented by a browser.
  • Cross Site Scripting through Log Files
    An attacker may leverage a system weakness where logs are susceptible to log injection to insert scripts into the system's logs. If these logs are later viewed by an administrator through a thin administrative interface and the log data is not properly HTML encoded before being written to the page, the attackers' scripts stored in the log will be executed in the administrative interface with potentially serious consequences. This attack pattern is really a combination of two other attack patterns: log injection and stored cross site scripting.
  • Command Line Execution through SQL Injection
    An attacker uses standard SQL injection methods to inject data into the command line for execution. This could be done directly through misuse of directives such as MSSQL_xp_cmdshell or indirectly through injection of data into the database that would be interpreted as shell commands. Sometime later, an unscrupulous backend application (or could be part of the functionality of the same application) fetches the injected data stored in the database and uses this data as command line arguments without performing proper validation. The malicious data escapes that data plane by spawning new commands to be executed on the host.

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201709-09 (Subversion: Arbitrary code execution) Specially crafted &lsquo;ssh://...&rsquo; URLs may allow the owner of the repository to execute arbitrary commands on client&rsquo;s machine if those commands are already installed on the client&rsquo;s system. This is especially dangerous when the third-party repository has one or more submodules with specially crafted &lsquo;ssh://...&rsquo; URLs. Each time the repository is recursively cloned or submodules are updated the payload will be triggered. Impact : A remote attacker, by enticing a user to clone a specially crafted repository, could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process. Workaround : There are several alternative ways to fix this vulnerability. Please refer to Subversion Team Announce for more details.

descriptionArbitrary code execution on clients through malicious svn+ssh URLs in svn:externals and svn:sync-from-url ### Summary: ======== A Subversion client sometimes connects to URLs provided by the repository. This happens in two primary cases: during 'checkout', 'export', 'update', and 'switch', when the tree being downloaded contains svn:externals properties; and when using 'svnsync sync' with one URL argument. A maliciously constructed svn+ssh:// URL would cause Subversion clients to run an arbitrary shell command. Such a URL could be generated by a malicious server, by a malicious user committing to a honest server (to attack another user of that server's repositories), or by a proxy server. The vulnerability affects all clients, including those that use file://, http://, and plain (untunneled) svn://. An exploit has been tested. ### Known vulnerable: ================= Subversion clients 1.0.0 through 1.8.18 (inclusive) Subversion clients 1.9.0 through 1.9.6 (inclusive) Subversion client 1.10.0-alpha3 Subversion 1.10.0-alpha1 and 1.10.0-alpha2 are vulnerable, however, were never publicly released. ### Known fixed: ============ Subversion 1.8.19 Subversion 1.9.7 Patches are available for 1.9, 1.8, 1.6. The patch for 1.9 applies to 1.10.0-alpha3 with an offset. The patch for 1.8 applies to 1.7 with an offset. Clients that do not have access to an ssh client, and have no custom tunnels configured in their runtime configuration area [1], are not vulnerable. Clients using Subversion's own runtime module loading for Repository Access (RA) modules are not vulnerable if the 'libsvn_ra_svn' module, which provides support for the svn+ssh:// and svn:// protocols is removed. [1] http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.confarea.html#svn.advanced.confarea.layout This link describes Subversion 1.7, but the description is correct for all other versions as well. ### Details: ======== (see "Summary:" above) ### Severity: ========= CVSSv3 Base Score: 9.9 (Critical) CVSSv3 Base Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:H/RL:O/RC:C A successful exploit will run an arbitrary shell command with the privileges of the Subversion client. ### Recommendations: ================ Several alternative ways to fix the issue are available. Any one of 1, 2, 3, and 4 fixes the issue completely. There is no need to implement more than one of these four options. 1. We recommend all users to upgrade to Subversion 1.9.7 or 1.8.19. New Subversion source and binary packages can be found at: https://subversion.apache.org/download https://subversion.apache.org/packages 2. Users of Subversion 1.8.x and 1.9.x who are unable to upgrade may apply the included patch. 3. Clients that are not able to execute the 'ssh' command are not vulnerable. Note, however, that the name of the command may be changed by setting the $SVN_SSH environment variable or by setting a value for the 'ssh' key in the "[tunnels]" section of the file "config" in the runtime configuration area [1]. Moreover, the "[tunnels]" section may define additional tunnels; those may be vulnerable if they do not perform input validation on their first argument, which contains the hostname to connect to. By default, only the "ssh" tunnel is available. It is available even if it is commented out in the file "config". The default definition of the "ssh" tunnel is equivalent to: `ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -q` If that line is not commented out and not set to the default, audit that line as explained below for additional/custom tunnels. If that line is commented out or set to the default, two different fixes are available: either uncomment that line and change the setting to `ssh = $SVN_SSH ssh -q --` or set the environment variable "SVN_SSH" to the value "ssh -q --". Custom tunnels are invoked with three arguments: the hostname to connect to, the string "svnserve" and the string "-t". It is recommended that custom tunnel definitions be audited for correct handling of unusual or invalid host values; the Subversion libraries perform some basic validation, but cannot guarantee correct quoting/escaping of the parameters to arbitrary third-party tunnel commands. 4. Clients built to use Subversion's own runtime mechanism for loading modules can remove the libsvn_ra_svn shared module and thus remove the threat. The svn:// and svn+ssh:// protocols will no longer be available. This does not apply to clients built to use the normal compile-time linking of shared libraries: those clients will fail to start if the libsvn_ra_svn shared module is removed. Subversion's own runtime loading mechanism is enabled at build-time by using --enable-runtime-module-search. 5. Users of 'svnsync sync' should use the two-URL-arguments form of the command. The current remote URL may be found by either of these two commands: ``` svnsync info -- $DEST_URL svn proplist --verbose --revision=0 -- $DEST_URL ``` where $DEST_URL is the (first, or only) URL argument to 'svnsync sync'. Then, change the svnsync invocation to always pass that URL as an additional argument: change `svnsync sync URL/to/sync` to `svnsync sync URL/to/sync URL/to/source` NOTE: This recommendation applies only to 'svnsync sync' and does not fix the 'checkout' / 'update' part of the issue. 6. Server administrators may wish to install a 'pre-commit' hook that rejects commits that add invalid svn+*:// URLs, in order to protect their users from other (malicious) users committing such URLs. An example hook is available at: <https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/tools/hook-scripts/CVE-2017-9800-pre-commit.py> 7. API consumers that implement a 'svn_ra_open_tunnel_func_t open_tunnel_func' callback should audit it for issues similar to this one. 8. Subversion 1.7 and 1.6 are officially no longer supported. The patch for 1.8 will apply to 1.7 and a patch for 1.6 is available, the patch for 1.6 could be adapted to even older versions. Since 1.7 and 1.6 are no longer supported there will be no official releases of those branches for this vulnerablity.
