Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in cPanel 11.36.2.9/11.38.2.12/11.40.0.28/11.40.1.2 (Hosting Control Software). It has been classified as critical. Affected is an unknown code of the component DNS Cluster Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a privileges management vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-269. The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The weakness was disclosed 02/05/2014 with Rack911 as R911-0123 as confirmed posting (Blog). The advisory is available at blog.rack911.com. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. This vulnerability is assigned to T1068 by the MITRE ATT&CK project. The advisory points out:

Resellers with the ‘clustering’ ACL could inject data using newlines and NUL bytes into the form parameters of the cluster configuration interfaces. This flaw could then be leveraged to execute arbitrary code as root via string eval()s in various other interfaces.

Upgrading to version 11.38.2.16, 11.40.1.10 or 11.42.0.4 eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (91042) and Secunia (SA56719†). The entries VDB-12272, VDB-12273, VDB-12274 and VDB-12275 are pretty similar. If you want to get best quality of vulnerability data, you may have to visit VulDB.
