An issue in OpenResty lua-nginx-module v.0.10.26 and before allows a remote
attacker to conduct HTTP request smuggling via a crafted HEAD request.
CVE-2024-33452.
[ Reason ]
When processing HTTP/1.1 requests, lua-nginx-module incorrectly parses HEAD
requests with a body and treats the body as the new separate request.
~~~
HEAD / HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Content-Length: 52
GET /smuggle HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
~~~
[ Impact ]
Normally for other proxies, the following request is treated as a single
request because the GET /smuggle request is inside of the HEAD request’s body.
But when parsed by lua-nginx-module this request is treated as 2 separate requests.
This leads to discrepancies between proxies if chained together.
[ Tests ]
I tested manually with telnet using the request above.
And one part of the patch is an (automated) test that covers the given problem.
[ Risks ]
Patch is trivial.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
I added the patch released by upstream team without any changes.
