ASA-202011-26: gitea: insufficient validation


Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-202011-26
=========================================
Severity: Medium
Date : 2020-11-26
CVE-ID : CVE-2020-28991
Package : gitea
Type : insufficient validation
Remote : Yes
Link :   https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-1299

Summary
======
The package gitea before version 1.12.6-1 is vulnerable to insufficient
validation.

Resolution
=========
Upgrade to 1.12.6-1.

# pacman -Syu "gitea>=1.12.6-1"

The problem has been fixed upstream in version 1.12.6.

Workaround
=========
None.

Description
==========
Gitea 0.9.99 through 1.12.x before 1.12.6 does not prevent a git
protocol path that specifies a TCP port number and also contains
newlines (with URL encoding) in ParseRemoteAddr in
modules/auth/repo_form.go, causing partial SSRF.

Impact
=====
A remote attacker might be able to trick a user into performing an
unwanted action via SSRF.
