How the Exploit Works
The identified exploit works by sending undisclosed requests to the server when HTTP/2 client and server profile is configured on a virtual server. These undisclosed requests can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate, potentially allowing for system compromise or data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. Please note that this is a hypothetical scenario for understanding purposes.
POST /undisclosed/request HTTP/2
Host: vulnerable-server.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{ "malicious_request": "Terminate TMM" }
In this example, a malicious user sends an undisclosed request to the server in an attempt to terminate the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM), potentially gaining unauthorized access or causing data leakage.
Mitigation Guidance
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to apply the vendor-provided patch as soon as possible. In the interim, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as temporary mitigation. It is imperative that any systems running software versions that have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are updated to maintain security integrity.
