Nevertheless, the dearth of person enter sanitization may additionally enable the attacker to execute arbitrary system instructions on weak endpoints.
“It’s potential for unauthenticated, distant attackers who’ve entry to the administration interface of LoadMaster to difficulty a rigorously crafted HTTP request that can enable arbitrary system instructions to be executed,” reads the safety bulletin.
“This vulnerability has been closed by sanitizing request person enter to mitigate arbitrary system instructions execution.”
LoadMaster is an software supply controller (ADC) and cargo balancing resolution utilized by massive organizations for optimizing app efficiency, managing community visitors, and guaranteeing excessive service availability.
The MT Hypervisor is a model of LoadMaster designed for multi-tenant environments, permitting a number of digital community features to run on the identical {hardware}.
CVE-2024-7591 was discovered to affect LoadMaster model 7.2.60.0 and all earlier variations, and likewise the MT Hypervisor model 7.1.35.11 and all prior releases. Lengthy-Time period Help (LTS) and Lengthy-Time period Help with Characteristic (LTSF) branches are additionally impacted.
To repair the flaw, Progress launched an add-on bundle that may be put in on any of the weak variations, together with older releases, so there’s no goal variations to improve to as a way to tackle the danger from this vulnerability.
