sol15879: SOAP parser vulnerability CVE-2013-1824 Security Advisory

Original Publication Date: 12/01/2014

Description

The SOAP parser in PHP before 5.3.22 and 5.4.x before 5.4.12 allows remote
attackers to read arbitrary files via a SOAP WSDL file containing an
XML external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference,
related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue in the soap_xmlParseFile
and soap_xmlParseMemory functions. (CVE-2013-1824)

Impact

If a PHP application accepts untrusted SOAP object input remotely from
clients, an attacker could use this flaw for the unauthorized reading of
system files, accessible with the privileges of the PHP application.

Status

F5 Product Development has assigned ID 477313 (BIG-IP), ID 482170 (BIG-IQ),
and ID 482174 (Enterprise Manager) to this vulnerability, and has evaluated
the currently supported releases for potential vulnerability.

To determine if your release is known to be vulnerable, the components
or features that are affected by the vulnerability, and for information
about releases or hotfixes that address the vulnerability, refer to the
following table:

Product		Versions known to be vulnerable		Versions known to be not vulnerable     Vulnerable component or feature

*Certain product versions contain the affected code; however, those product
versions do not parse untrusted XML input, and are therefore not exploitable.

Recommended Action

If the previous table lists a version in the Versions known to be not
vulnerable column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to
the listed version. If the table does not list any version in the column,
then no upgrade candidate currently exists.
