Problem

Multiple vulnerabilities in Junos OS have been resolved by updating cURL and libcurl library. These are used to support downloading updates or importing data into a Junos device.

Libcurl and cURL were upgraded from 7.36.0 to 7.42.1 which resolves the following vulnerabilities:

CVE CVSS v2 base score Summary
CVE-2015-3144 9.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C) The fix_hostname function in cURL and libcurl 7.37.0 through 7.41.0 does not properly calculate an index, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write and crash) or possibly have other unspecified impact via a zero-length host name, as demonstrated by "http://:80" and ":80."
CVE-2015-3145 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P) The sanitize_cookie_path function in cURL and libcurl 7.31.0 through 7.41.0 does not properly calculate an index, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and crash) or possibly have other unspecified impact via a cookie path containing only a double-quote character.
CVE-2014-8151 5.8 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N) The darwinssl_connect_step1 function in lib/vtls/curl_darwinssl.c in libcurl 7.31.0 through 7.39.0, when using the DarwinSSL (aka SecureTransport) back-end for TLS, does not check if a cached TLS session validated the certificate when reusing the session, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a crafted certificate.
CVE-2014-3613 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) cURL and libcurl before 7.38.0 does not properly handle IP addresses in cookie domain names, which allows remote attackers to set cookies for or send arbitrary cookies to certain sites, as demonstrated by a site at 192.168.0.1 setting cookies for a site at 127.168.0.1.
CVE-2014-3620 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) cURL and libcurl before 7.38.0 allow remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and set cookies for arbitrary sites by setting a cookie for a top-level domain.
CVE-2015-3143 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) cURL and libcurl 7.10.6 through 7.41.0 does not properly re-use NTLM connections, which allows remote attackers to connect as other users via an unauthenticated request, a similar issue to CVE-2014-0015.
CVE-2015-3148 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) cURL and libcurl 7.10.6 through 7.41.0 does not properly re-use authenticated Negotiate connections, which allows remote attackers to connect as other users via a request.
CVE-2015-3153 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N) The default configuration for cURL and libcurl before 7.42.1 sends custom HTTP headers to both the proxy and destination server, which might allow remote proxy servers to obtain sensitive information by reading the header contents.
CVE-2014-3707 4.3 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N) The curl_easy_duphandle function in libcurl 7.17.1 through 7.38.0, when running with the CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS option, does not properly copy HTTP POST data for an easy handle, which triggers an out-of-bounds read that allows remote web servers to read sensitive memory information.
CVE-2014-8150 4.3 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) CRLF injection vulnerability in libcurl 6.0 through 7.x before 7.40.0, when using an HTTP proxy, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers and conduct HTTP response splitting attacks via CRLF sequences in a URL.
CVE-2014-0015 4.0 (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N) cURL and libcurl 7.10.6 through 7.34.0, when more than one authentication method is enabled, re-uses NTLM connections, which might allow context-dependent attackers to authenticate as other users via a request.

Juniper SIRT is not aware of any malicious exploitation of these vulnerabilities.

Solution

The following software releases have been updated to resolve this specific issue:   12.1X46-D50 (pending release), 12.1X47-D40 (pending release), 12.3R11, 12.3X48-D30 (to be released by end of April, 2016), 13.2R9, 13.2X51-D39, 13.2X51-D40, 13.3R8, 14.1R6, 14.1X53-D30, 14.2R5, 15.1R2, 15.1X49-D40, 15.1X53-D35 and all subsequent releases.

These issue was tracked as PR 1068204 and is visible on the Customer Support website.

Security vulnerabilities in Junos are fixed in the next available Maintenance Release of each supported Junos version. In some cases, a Maintenance Release is not planned to be available in an appropriate time-frame. For these cases, Service Releases are made available in order to be more timely. Security Advisory and Security Notices will indicate which Maintenance and Service Releases contain fixes for the issues described. Upon request to JTAC, customers will be provided download instructions for a Service Release. Although Juniper does not provide formal Release Note documentation for a Service Release, a list of "PRs fixed" can be provided on request.

Workaround

Avoid using untrusted URLs to fetch updates or to import data into a Junos device.
