ACL configured in ip_allow.config or remap.config does not use IP addresses that are provided by PROXY protocol.

Users can use a new setting (proxy.config.acl.subjects) to choose which IP addresses to use for the ACL if Apache Traffic Server is configured to accept PROXY protocol.  This issue affects undefined: from 10.0.0 through 10.0.6, from 9.0.0 through 9.2.10.

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 9.2.11 or 10.0.6, which fixes the issue.

Weakness

The product does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Traffic_server Apache 9.0.0 (including) 9.2.11 (excluding)
Traffic_server Apache 10.0.0 (including) 10.0.6 (excluding)
Trafficserver Ubuntu oracular *

Extended Description

Access control involves the use of several protection mechanisms such as:

When any mechanism is not applied or otherwise fails, attackers can compromise the security of the product by gaining privileges, reading sensitive information, executing commands, evading detection, etc. There are two distinct behaviors that can introduce access control weaknesses:

Potential Mitigations

  • Compartmentalize the system to have “safe” areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
  • Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
