Vulnerability CVE-2009-4488

Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2009-4488 (CCN-55533)

Assigned:

2009-12-30

Published:

2010-01-11

Updated:

2018-10-10

Summary:

** DISPUTED ** Varnish 2.0.6 writes data to a log file without sanitizing non-printable characters, which might allow remote attackers to modify a window's title, or possibly execute arbitrary commands or overwrite files, via an HTTP request containing an escape sequence for a terminal emulator.
Note: the vendor disputes the significance of this report, stating that "This is not a security problem in Varnish or any other piece of software which writes a logfile. The real problem is the mistaken belief that you can cat(1) a random logfile to your terminal safely."
