Red Hat · Undertow · CVE-2017-12196
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
undertow versions prior to 1.4.18.SP1
undertow versions prior to 2.0.2.Final
undertow versions prior to 1.4.24.Final
Description:
The issue arises when using Digest authentication, as the server fails to verify that the URI in the Authorization header matches the URI in the HTTP request line. This oversight allows an attacker to launch a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack, thereby gaining access to desired content on the server.
Recommendations:
For versions prior to 1.4.18.SP1, update to version 1.4.18.SP1 or later.
For versions prior to 2.0.2.Final, update to version 2.0.2.Final or later.
For versions prior to 1.4.24.Final, update to version 1.4.24.Final or later.
