Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-202107-28
==========================================
Severity: Medium
Date : 2021-07-14
CVE-ID : CVE-2021-36740
Package : varnish
Type : url request injection
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-2154
Summary
=======
The package varnish before version 6.6.1-1 is vulnerable to url request
injection.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 6.6.1-1.
# pacman -Syu "varnish>=6.6.1-1"
The problem has been fixed upstream in version 6.6.1.
Workaround
==========
The issue can be mitigated by turning off support for HTTP/2, using
sudo varnishadm param.set feature -http2
or by preventing connection reuse with the following configuration:
sub vcl_backend_fetch {
set bereq.http.Connection = "close";
}
Description
===========
Varnish Cache before version 6.6.1, with HTTP/2 enabled, allows request
smuggling and VCL authorization bypass via a large Content-Length
header for a POST request.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could inject arbitrary HTTP requests through an
HTTP/2 POST request with a large Content-Length header.
