TITLE:
Spiceworks Denial of Service and Cross-Site Request Forgery

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36195

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36195/

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:
