Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes security and bug fix update
Severity
Moderate
Notes
Topic: An update is now available for Red Hat OpenShift Application Runtimes. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
Details: Red Hat Openshift Application Runtimes provides an application platform that reduces the complexity of developing and operating applications (monoliths and microservices) for OpenShift as a containerized platform. The RHOAR Eclipse Vert.x 3.5.3 release serves as a replacement for RHOAR Eclipse Vert.x 3.5.1, and includes bug fixes and enhancements. For a detailed list of issues resolved in the community Eclipse Vert.x 3.5.3 release, see the release notes in the References section. Security Fix(es): * vertx: Improper neutralization of CRLF sequences allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP response headers (CVE-2018-12537) * vertx-web: Incomplete CSRF validation by CSRFHandler (CVE-2018-12540) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

CVE-2018-12537

In Eclipse Vert.x version 3.0 to 3.5.1, the HttpServer response headers and HttpClient request headers do not filter carriage return and line feed characters from the header value. This allow unfiltered values to inject a new header in the client request or server response.

CVE-2018-12540

In version from 3.0.0 to 3.5.2 of Eclipse Vert.x, the CSRFHandler do not assert that the XSRF Cookie matches the returned XSRF header/form parameter. This allows replay attacks with previously issued tokens which are not expired yet.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
