Debian reportbug 6.4.4/6.5.0 code injection

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Summaryinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Debian reportbug 6.4.4/6.5.0. This affects an unknown part. Performing a manipulation results in code injection. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2014-0479. No exploit is available. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Debian reportbug 6.4.4/6.5.0 (Reporting Software). This affects some unknown processing. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

reportbug before 6.4.4+deb7u1 and 6.5.x before 6.5.0+nmu1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via vectors related to compare_versions and reportbug/checkversions.py.

The weakness was published 08/06/2014 by Jakub Wilk (Website). The advisory is shared at bugs.launchpad.net. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2014-0479 since 12/19/2013. 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 T1059 for this issue.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 77007 (Debian DSA-2997-1 : reportbug - security update), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Debian Local Security Checks.

Upgrading to version 6.4.4 eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (95149), Tenable (77007), SecurityFocus (BID 69055†), OSVDB (109858†) and Secunia (SA59896†). Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
