CVE-2017-10906 fluentd: Escape sequence injection in filter_parser.rb:filter_stream can lead to arbitrary command execution when processing logs
Last modified: 2018-07-19 09:49:27 EDT
Escape sequence injection vulnerability in the filter_parser.rb:filter_stream function of Fluentd versions 0.12.29 through 0.12.40 may allow for unescaped arbitrary command injection to log files and terminal output. Processing a specially crafted log may allow for arbitrary command exectuion on the device collecting logs. References: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-10906 https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/blob/v0.12/CHANGELOG.md#bug-fixes https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/pull/1733 https://jvn.jp/en/vu/JVNVU95124098/index.html
Statement: This flaw requires particular preconditions to be exploitable, which are not common in supported deployments of fluentd. The vulnerable system must have all of: 1. A filter_parser enabled in fluentd.conf 2. Fluentd running in non-daemon mode or a bad syslog server that doesn't sanitise escape sequences (rsyslog does) 3. A vulnerable terminal that happens to be running fluentd or manipulating the fluentd log file (for example tailing it) This issue affects the versions of fluentd as shipped with Red Hat OpenShift Enterprise 3. Red Hat Product Security has rated this issue as having security impact of Moderate. A future update may address this issue.
