Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Apple Mac OS X up to 10.7.5/10.8.5/10.9.2 (Operating System). It has been classified as problematic. This affects some unknown functionality of the component CFNetwork HTTPProtocol Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a access control vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-264. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

CFNetwork in Apple iOS before 7.1.1, Apple OS X through 10.9.2, and Apple TV before 6.1.1 does not ensure that a Set-Cookie HTTP header is complete before interpreting the header s value, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by triggering the closing of a TCP connection during transmission of a header, as demonstrated by an HTTPOnly restriction.

The weakness was shared 04/22/2014 by Antoine Delignat-Lavaud with Google as HT6207 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is shared at support.apple.com. The vendor cooperated in the coordination of the public release. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2014-1296 since 01/08/2014. The exploitability is told to be difficult. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1068 for this issue. The advisory points out:

Set-Cookie HTTP headers would be processed even if the connection closed before the header line was complete. An attacker could strip security settings from the cookie by forcing the connection to close before the security settings were sent, and then obtain the value of the unprotected cookie.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 74040 (Apple iTunes < 11.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities (credentialed check)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Windows and running in the context l.
