Summary

Shibboleth XMLTooling-C before 1.6.4, as used in Shibboleth Service Provider before 2.6.1.4 on Windows and other products, mishandles digital signatures of user data, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or conduct impersonation attacks via crafted XML data. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2018-0486.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Padding Oracle Crypto Attack
    An attacker is able to efficiently decrypt data without knowing the decryption key if a target system leaks data on whether or not a padding error happened while decrypting the ciphertext. A target system that leaks this type of information becomes the padding oracle and an attacker is able to make use of that oracle to efficiently decrypt data without knowing the decryption key by issuing on average 128*b calls to the padding oracle (where b is the number of bytes in the ciphertext block). In addition to performing decryption, an attacker is also able to produce valid ciphertexts (i.e., perform encryption) by using the padding oracle, all without knowing the encryption key. Any cryptosystem can be vulnerable to padding oracle attacks if the encrypted messages are not authenticated to ensure their validity prior to decryption, and then the information about padding error is leaked to the attacker. This attack technique may be used, for instance, to break CAPTCHA systems or decrypt/modify state information stored in client side objects (e.g., hidden fields or cookies). This attack technique is a side-channel attack on the cryptosystem that uses a data leak from an improperly implemented decryption routine to completely subvert the cryptosystem. The one bit of information that tells the attacker whether a padding error during decryption has occurred, in whatever form it comes, is sufficient for the attacker to break the cryptosystem. That bit of information can come in a form of an explicit error message about a padding error, a returned blank page, or even the server taking longer to respond (a timing attack). This attack can be launched cross domain where an attacker is able to use cross-domain information leaks to get the bits of information from the padding oracle from a target system / service with which the victim is communicating. To do so an attacker sends a request containing ciphertext to the target system. Due to the browser's same origin policy, the attacker is not able to see the response directly, but can use cross-domain information leak techniques to still get the information needed (i.e., information on whether or not a padding error has occurred). For instance, this can be done using "img" tag plus the onerror()/onload() events. The attacker's JavaScript can make web browsers to load an image on the target site, and know if the image is loaded or not. This is 1-bit information needed for the padding oracle attack to work: if the image is loaded, then it is valid padding, otherwise it is not.

    Shibboleth SP software vulnerable to additional data forgery flaws
    
    The XML processing performed by the Service Provider software has been
    found to be vulnerable to new flaws similar in nature to the one
    addressed in an advisory last month.
    
    These bugs involve the use of other XML constructs rather than entity
    references, and therefore required additional mitigation once
    discovered. As with the previous issue, this flaw allows for changes
    to an XML document that do not break a digital signature but can alter
    the user data passed through to applications behind the SP and result
    in impersonation attacks and exposure of protected information.
    
    As before, the use of XML Encryption is a significant mitigation, but
    we have not dismissed the possibility that attacks on the Response
    'envelope' may be possible, in both the original and this new case. No
    actual attacks of this nature are known, so deployers should
    prioritize patching systems that expect to handle unencrypted SAML
    assertions.
    
    An updated version of XMLTooling-C (V1.6.4) is available that protects
    against these new attacks, and should help prevent similar
    vulnerabilities in the future.
    
    Unlike the previous case, these bugs are NOT prevented by any existing
    Xerces-C parser version on any platform and cannot be addressed by any
    means other than the updated XMLTooling-C library.
    
    The Service Provider software relies on a generic XML parser to
    process SAML responses and there are limitations in older versions of
    the parser that make it impossible to fully disable Document Type
    Definition (DTD) processing.
    
    Through addition/manipulation of a DTD, it's possible to make changes
    to an XML document that do not break a digital signature but are
    mishandled by the SP and its libraries. These manipulations can alter
    the user data passed through to applications behind the SP and result
    in impersonation attacks and exposure of protected information.
    
    While newer versions of the xerces-c3 parser are configured by the SP
    into disallowing the use of a DTD via an environment variable, this
    feature is not present in the xerces-c3 parser before version 3.1.4,
    so an additional fix is being provided now that an actual DTD exploit
    has been identified. Xerces-c3-3.1.4 was committed to the ports tree
    already on 2016-07-26."
