Description: A vulnerability was reported in Mozilla in the processing of cookies. A remote user may be able to bypass the path restrictions specified by a cookie's originator. Several other browsers are also affected.
Corsaire reported that a remote user (server) can employ a combination of path traversal and encoding techniques to bypass cookie
path restrictions in the target user's browser.
Malicious software on a server can obtain cookies from the target user's browser
that should be restricted to a separate application path on the same server.
A demonstration exploit URL format is provided:
http://host/secure/%2e%2e/sample/insecu
re.cgi?xss=<golarge>
In the above example format, the 'insecure.cgi' application can obtain cookies that are ostensibly restricted
to the '/secure' path.
The affected vendors were reportedly notified between July 12 and July 18, 2003.
|
Impact: A remote server application can obtain cookies from the target user's browser for the same domain but regardless of the path restrictions.
|
Solution: HP has issued a fixed version of Mozilla (1.6.0.00), available at:
http://www.hp.com/go/mozilla
|
Vendor URL: www.mozilla.org/ (Links to External Site)
|
Cause: Access control error, Input validation error
|
Underlying OS: UNIX (HP/UX)
|
Underlying OS Comments: HP-UX 11.00, 11.11, 11.22
