Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Perlbal, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information or cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) An error exists within lib/Perlbal/ClientProxy.pm when handling chunked uploads with a length of zero. This can be exploited to crash the service by sending specially crafted requests.
Successful exploitation may require that "buffer_uploads" is enabled.
2) Certain input is not properly sanitised within the "_serve_request_multiple()" function in lib/Perlbal/ClientHTTPBase.pm. This can be exploited to perform a single upward directory traversal and disclose potentially sensitive information by sending specially crafted requests to the service.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 1.70.
