Hi,
(Adding yadd as suggested on IRC, solicating yadd's input as well)
Some updates on php-cas:
I've continued to work on php-cas to better assess
the situation: I've also received information to better
assess the serverity of the CVE and now I think this issue
should be fixed.
(However, I'd like also to hear the opinion of the security team ;-))
<TL;DR:>
The test suite make me think my patch is working. I'd appreciate other people
testing them too, though. (On my TODO list is to try with an real CAS Server)
The reverse dependencies for buster src:fusiondirectory and
src:ocsinventory-server can be fixed quite easily, by adding
configuration options and telling the users what to do.
For customers using non-packaged software using php-cas,
they *will* need to update it:
The phpCAS client initializer needs an additional $service_base_url
parameter:
- static function client($server_version, $server_hostname, $server_port,
$server_uri, $changeSessionID = true)
+ static function client($server_version, $server_hostname, $server_port,
$server_uri, $service_base_url, $changeSessionID = true)
from upstream uppgrading guide:
PhpCAS now requires an additional service base URL argument when
constructing
the client class, similar to other CAS client's serverName config. It
accepts
any argument of:
1. A service base URL string. The service URL discovery will always use
this
server name (protocol, hostname and port number) without using any external
host names.
2. An array of service base URL strings. The service URL discovery will
check
against this list before using the auto discovered base URL. If there is no
match, the first base URL in the array will be used as the default. This
option is helpful if your PHP website is accessible through multiple
domains
without a canonical name, or through both HTTP and HTTPS.
3. A class that implements CAS_ServiceBaseUrl_Interface. If you need to
customize the base URL discovery behavior, you can pass in a class that
implements the interface.
</TL;DR>
My more detailed notes:
Upstream Test suite:
####################
The test suite for 1.3.6 is not packaged in the debian package,
but I made a branch including it:
https://salsa.debian.org/lts-team/packages/php-cas/-/tree/debian/buster-with-testsuite
The test suite is patched as required for CVE-2022-29369, as the CAS_Client
class
needs an additional "service" parameter (this is the API breakage)
Before the patch for the CVE:
$ phpunit TestSuite.php
OK, but incomplete, skipped, or risky tests!
Tests: 79, Assertions: 412, Incomplete: 4, Risky: 2.
After patch for the CVE: (The patch adds some tests.)
$ phpunit TestSuite.php
OK, but incomplete, skipped, or risky tests!
Tests: 92, Assertions: 425, Incomplete: 4, Risky: 2.
(When removing the additional tests (file:
test/CAS/Tests/ServiceBaseUrlTest.php):
$ phpunit TestSuite.php
OK, but incomplete, skipped, or risky tests!
Tests: 79, Assertions: 412, Incomplete: 4, Risky: 2.)
Reverse Dependencies for buster:
################################
php-cas
Reverse Depends: fusiondirectory (1.0.19-1+deb9u1)
Reverse Depends: ocsinventory-reports (2.5+dfsg1-1)
fusiondirectory
---------------
- Use of php-cas is optional, (get_cfg_value('casActivated'))
- Uses php-cas in core/html/index.php, likely only change required
is to add the new $service_base_url parameter after
core/html/index.php:128
(upstream has refactored in the meantime, upstream has change at [a], but
it seems that we don't have the CasClientServiceName config entry in
buster,
probably can be backported.)
- Possibly users will need to run fusiondirectory-insert-schema and
possibly
reconfigure fusiondirectory and possibly a Debian.NEWS should tell them
so.
(needs to be evaluated once I have patches)
ocsinventory-reports
--------------------
( yadd is Maintainer of this package and probably can better comment on
it)
- Use of php-cas is optional, ($affich_method == 'CAS')
- not default
- seems that /usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/backend/AUTH/auth.php
needs to be
edited to make it work. (which is not a conffile.)
- 3 locations initializes php-cas and will needs updating with
$service_base_url
ocsreports/backend/AUTH/methode/cas.php:$cas = new phpCas();
ocsreports/update.php: $cas = new phpCas();
ocsreports/require/header.php: $cas = new phpCas();
- As the auth method is not a conffile, every update will reset user
configuration,
defaulting back to HTML-Form authenticication.
- Cas confiuration is done in
/usr/share/ocsinventory-reports/backend/require/cas.config.php:
This is a central point where $service_base_url can be configured (it
also not a conffile…)
(- ocsinventory-server is on limited security support, reason given:
Details: Only supported behind an authenticated HTTP zone)

Hey,
As I am currently preparing a fix for php-cas to tackle CVE-2022-39369 [1], and
as the changes required are breaking changes, I'd like to discuss whether the
vulnerability justifies a breaking change, or if the issue should be ignored
instead.
(Maybe feedback from interested customers can be collected, so that they can
assess
the impact on their side already.)
I've packaged my backport of the patch and uploaded it to [3] as an (untested)
preview.
The breaking change: users of php-cas needs to perform additional steps when
using the php module, as described in docs/updating of the upstream pull
request fixing the issue: [2]
phpCAS now requires an additional service base URL argument when
constructing the client class, similar to other CAS client's serverName
config.
Upstream asses the situation as [4]
This vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain access to a victim's
account
on a vulnerable CASified service without victim's knowledge, when the
victim
visits attacker's website while being logged in to the same CAS server.
The patch applied to the package is this commit:
https://salsa.debian.org/lts-team/packages/php-cas/-/commit/2c2b5f73da55f5c6d9f69e1ac11b3a1ee565d435
(also debdiff attached.)
