passenger Vulnerability Remediation Guidance

CVE Description Full list of Impacted Versions Fix
CVE-2018-12615 An issue was discovered in switchGroup() in agent/ExecHelper/ExecHelperMain.cpp in Phusion Passenger before 5.3.2. The set of groups (gidset) is not set correctly, leaving it up to randomness (i.e., uninitialized memory) which supplementary groups are actually being set while lowering privileges. 3.0.12, 4.0.5, 4.0.7, 4.0.16, 5.0.5, 5.1.5, 3.0.19, 4.0.4 (Show all) Major → 5.3.2
CVE-2018-12029 A race condition in the nginx module in Phusion Passenger 3.x through 5.x before 5.3.2 allows local escalation of privileges when a non-standard passenger_instance_registry_dir with insufficiently strict permissions is configured. Replacing a file with a symlink after the file was created, but before it was chowned, leads to the target of the link being chowned via the path. Targeting sensitive files such as root's crontab file allows privilege escalation. 3.0.12, 4.0.5, 4.0.7, 4.0.16, 5.0.5, 5.1.5, 3.0.19, 4.0.4 (Show all) Major → 5.3.2
CVE-2018-12028 An Incorrect Access Control vulnerability in SpawningKit in Phusion Passenger 5.3.x before 5.3.2 allows a Passenger-managed malicious application, upon spawning a child process, to report an arbitrary different PID back to Passenger's process manager. If the malicious application then generates an error, it would cause Passenger's process manager to kill said reported arbitrary PID. 5.3.0, 5.3.1 Patch → 5.3.2
CVE-2018-12027 An Insecure Permissions vulnerability in SpawningKit in Phusion Passenger 5.3.x before 5.3.2 causes information disclosure in the following situation: given a Passenger-spawned application process that reports that it listens on a certain Unix domain socket, if any of the parent directories of said socket are writable by a normal user that is not the application's user, then that non-application user can swap that directory with something else, resulting in traffic being redirected to a non-application user's process through an alternative Unix domain socket. 5.3.0, 5.3.1 Patch → 5.3.2
CVE-2018-12026 During the spawning of a malicious Passenger-managed application, SpawningKit in Phusion Passenger 5.3.x before 5.3.2 allows such applications to replace key files or directories in the spawning communication directory with symlinks. This then could result in arbitrary reads and writes, which in turn can result in information disclosure and privilege escalation. 5.3.0, 5.3.1 Patch → 5.3.2
CVE-2017-16355 In agent/Core/SpawningKit/Spawner.h in Phusion Passenger 5.1.10 (fixed in Passenger Open Source 5.1.11 and Passenger Enterprise 5.1.10), if Passenger is running as root, it is possible to list the contents of arbitrary files on a system by symlinking a file named REVISION from the application root folder to a file of choice and querying passenger-status --show=xml. 3.0.12, 4.0.5, 4.0.7, 4.0.16, 5.0.5, 5.1.5, 3.0.19, 4.0.4 (Show all) Major → 5.3.2
CVE-2017-1000384 ** REJECT ** DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: CVE-2017-16355. Reason: This candidate is a reservation duplicate of CVE-2017-16355. Notes: All CVE users should reference CVE-2017-16355 instead of this candidate. All references and descriptions in this candidate have been removed to prevent accidental usage. 3.0.12, 4.0.5, 4.0.7, 4.0.16, 5.0.5, 5.1.5, 3.0.19, 4.0.4 (Show all) Major → 5.3.2
CVE-2016-10345 In Phusion Passenger before 5.1.0, a known /tmp filename was used during passenger-install-nginx-module execution, which could allow local attackers to gain the privileges of the passenger user. 3.0.12, 4.0.5, 4.0.7, 4.0.16, 5.0.5, 3.0.19, 4.0.4, 5.0.13 (Show all) Major → 5.3.2
CVE-2015-7519 agent/Core/Controller/SendRequest.cpp in Phusion Passenger before 4.0.60 and 5.0.x before 5.0.22, when used in Apache integration mode or in standalone mode without a filtering proxy, allows remote attackers to spoof headers passed to applications by using an _ (underscore) character instead of a - (dash) character in an HTTP header, as demonstrated by an X_User header. 3.0.12, 4.0.5, 4.0.7, 4.0.16, 5.0.5, 3.0.19, 4.0.4, 5.0.13 (Show all) Major → 5.3.2
CVE-2014-1832 Phusion Passenger 4.0.37 allows local users to write to certain files and directories via a symlink attack on (1) control_process.pid or a (2) generation-* file. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-1831. 4.0.37 Major → 5.3.2
CVE-2014-1831 Phusion Passenger before 4.0.37 allows local users to write to certain files and directories via a symlink attack on (1) control_process.pid or a (2) generation-* file. 3.0.12, 4.0.5, 4.0.7, 4.0.16, 3.0.19, 4.0.4, 4.0.13, 2.2.2 (Show all) Major → 5.3.2
CVE-2013-4136 ext/common/ServerInstanceDir.h in Phusion Passenger gem before 4.0.6 for Ruby allows local users to gain privileges or possibly change the ownership of arbitrary directories via a symlink attack on a directory with a predictable name in /tmp/. 3.0.12, 4.0.5, 3.0.19, 4.0.4, 2.2.2, 2.1.3, 3.0.11, 3.0.17 (Show all) Major → 5.3.2
CVE-2013-2119 Phusion Passenger gem before 3.0.21 and 4.0.x before 4.0.5 for Ruby allows local users to cause a denial of service (prevent application start) or gain privileges by pre-creating a temporary "config" file in a directory with a predictable name in /tmp/ before it is used by the gem. 3.0.12, 3.0.19, 4.0.4, 2.2.2, 2.1.3, 3.0.11, 3.0.17, 4.0.2 (Show all) Major → 5.3.2
