Descriptions

Icinga is a monitoring system which checks the availability of network resources, notifies users of outages, and generates performance data for reporting. From version 2.4.0 through version 2.12.4, a vulnerability exists that may allow privilege escalation for authenticated API users. With a read-ony user's credentials, an attacker can view most attributes of all config objects including `ticket_salt` of `ApiListener`. This salt is enough to compute a ticket for every possible common name (CN). A ticket, the master node's certificate, and a self-signed certificate are enough to successfully request the desired certificate from Icinga. That certificate may in turn be used to steal an endpoint or API user's identity. Versions 2.12.5 and 2.11.10 both contain a fix the vulnerability. As a workaround, one may either specify queryable types explicitly or filter out ApiListener objects.

Icinga es un sistema de monitorización que comprueba la disponibilidad de los recursos de red, notifica a usuarios de las interrupciones y genera datos de rendimiento para informes. Desde versión 2.4.0 hasta versión 2.12.4, se presenta una vulnerabilidad que puede permitir una escalada de privilegios para usuarios autenticados de la API. Con las credenciales de un usuario de solo lectura, un atacante puede ver la mayoría de los atributos de todos los objetos de configuración, incluyendo "ticket_salt" de "ApiListener". Este salt es suficiente para calcular un ticket para cada nombre común (CN) posible. Un ticket, el certificado del nodo maestro y un certificado autofirmado son suficientes para solicitar con éxito el certificado deseado de Icinga. Ese certificado puede usarse a su vez para robar la identidad de un endpoint o de un usuario de la API. Las versiones 2.12.5 y 2.11.10 contienen una corrección de la vulnerabilidad. Como solución, se pueden especificar explícitamente los tipos consultables o filtrar los objetos ApiListener
