Description

Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Spiceworks, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) An error exists in the included web server when processing "Accept" headers. This can be exploited to crash an affected server via an HTTP request containing a specially crafted "Accept" header.

2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change an administrator's password if a logged-in administrator visits a specially crafted web site.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.6.33156. Other versions may also be affected.


Solution
Upgrade to version 4.1.39229.

Provided and/or discovered by
1) David Kennedy, SecureState R&D
