[HttpFoundation] Fix to prevent magic bytes injection in JSONP responses... (CVE-2014-4671) #11367
Conversation

@FineWolf I suggest you read http://symfony.com/security for the way to report security issues for the next time. Sending a PR with the fix is a public disclosure |
|
however, 👍 |
|
That issue (on a general basis) has already received public disclosure anyway thru various news organizations and blogs since July 8. Public disclosure of the issue with symfony at this point (even before the merge) is the best course of action so that people who are affected can manually merge (I am aware of the security mailing list). This isn't a symfony specific issue. However this patch mitigates future attacks on the same vector. |

👍 |
From: http://miki.it/blog/2014/7/8/abusing-jsonp-with-rosetta-flash/. I think setting such headers would be nice too. |
See https://github.com/nelmio/NelmioSecurityBundle#content-type-sniffing |
|
@stof it is not part of the framework AFAIK.. |
|
@willdurand adding a way to configure the CSP headers in FrameworkBundle has already been rejected in favor of using this bundle which implements things properly: #8515 (comment) |
|
@stof ok forgot about this issue. |
|
Not sure if we need a CVE for Symfony as it's not really a Symfony security issue per se. I'm going to merge this now as we will release a security issue for Symfony shortly anyway. |
|
@fabpot I think we can reference the original CVE saying we added the server-side mitigation for it. |
|
Thank you @FineWolf. |

@fabpot You are welcome. And no, I don't think we need a Symfony specific CVE. This is a server-side mitigation measure to a client-side security issue. This is also why I didn't go thru the mailing list (again, nothing wrong with Symfony per-se). However, since we can mitigate it, I summited this patch. On peut jamais être trop prudent... |

THIS IS A SECURITY FIX AND SHOULD BE MERGED SHORTLY
This fix prevents attacks vectors where third-party browser plugins depends on ASCII magic bytes in order to execute a plugin. This is currently exploited with Flash using a carefully crafted JSONP response, allowing the execution of random SWF data from a domain with a vulnerable JSONP endpoint.
This security issue is mitigated by adding an empty comment right before the callback parameter. This does not affect the execution of the JSONP callback.
