CVE-2019-15846: Exim 的未经身份验证远程命令执行缺陷被公开

CVE-2019-15846, a new unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the Exim message transfer agent, has been patched in version 4.92.2. Users are encouraged to upgrade immediately.

背景

Exim Internet Mailer is a message transfer agent (MTA) for Unix hosts used to manage mail routing services for an organization. Exim is reportedly the most used MTA in the world, and has over 5 million internet-facing hosts, according to Shodan. Exploiting CVE-2019-15846 would allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to fully take control of a vulnerable Exim server.

分析

This vulnerability follows on the heels of CVE-2019-10149, another remote command execution (RCE) flaw which we blogged about in June. Exploitation attempts were seen one week later

The Exim advisory describes CVE-2019-15846 as: 

"The SMTP Delivery process in all versions up to and including Exim 4.92.1 has a Buffer Overflow. In the default runtime configuration, this is exploitable with crafted Server Name Indication (SNI) data during a TLS negotiation. In other configurations, it is exploitable with a crafted client TLS certificate."

As stated in the initial bug report by Zerons, an unauthenticated remote attacker could send a malicious SNI ending in a backslash-null sequence during the initial TLS handshake, which causes a buffer overflow in the SMTP delivery process. This would allow an attacker to inject malicious code that Exim then arbitrarily executes as root. This vulnerability does not depend on the TLS library in use, so both GnuTLS and OpenSSL are affected.

The default Exim configuration file does not have TLS enabled, but most organizations are required to enable it for standard internet traffic handling purposes. Some versions of Exim bundled with operating systems may have TLS enabled by default.

概念验证

A rudimentary proof-of-concept (PoC) exists, according to the Exim team, but has not been made public.

解决方案

The Exim team has released version 4.92.2 to fix this vulnerability, and administrators are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible. While the official security advisory notes that disabling TLS does mitigate the vulnerability, it is strongly recommended not to do so.

识别受影响的系统

As noted in Exim’s notification email: “We've indication that only versions starting with 4.80 up to and including 4.92.1 are affected.” It is also important to note that users running versions older than 4.80, while not vulnerable to CVE-2019-15846, are vulnerable to CVE-2018-6789, another critical RCE flaw. Additionally, the Exim project officially does not support versions prior to the current stable version, but does note in their advisory they will support package maintainers in backporting the fix where resources permit.
