Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-03-03 15:00:54 UTC
CVE-2021-3654

A vulnerability was found in openstack-nova's console proxy, noVNC. By crafting a malicious URL, noVNC could be made to redirect to any desired URL.

https://opendev.org/openstack/nova/commit/04d48527b62a35d912f93bc75613a6cca606df66

RedHat issued this as an Openstack Nova vulnerability, but this
actually seems to be a CVE to indicate that Nova worked around a
known, different Python bug. From the commit,

"Our console proxies (novnc, serial, spice) run in a websockify server
whose request handler inherits from the python standard
SimpleHTTPRequestHandler. There is a known issue [1] in the
SimpleHTTPRequestHandler which allows open redirects by way of URLs
in the following format:

  http://vncproxy.my.domain.com//example.com/%2F..

which if visited, will redirect a user to example.com."

The Python issue at URL was closed as a duplicate of
https://bugs.python.org/issue43223, which has a reference to a stalled
PR: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/24848.

... which was closed in favor of https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/93879, merged in mainline as:

https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/4abab6b603dd38bec1168e9a37c40a48ec89508e

Which seems to have only been backported into 3.11.0 and 3.10.6.

Comment 4 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-08-10 15:59:59 UTC
Python 2.7 is probably affected too but the code changed a lot, so verifying would take more time than I can spend.
Comment 5 John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-08-23 19:43:10 UTC
This seems to have gotten another CVE.

CVE-2021-28861 (https://bugs.python.org/issue43223):
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/93879
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/24848

Python 3.x through 3.10 has an open redirection vulnerability in lib/http/server.py due to no protection against multiple (/) at the beginning of URI path which may leads to information disclosure.
Comment 6 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2022-08-25 07:42:50 UTC
cleanup done.
