[BUG] PCI compliance scan shows a warning: CVE-2000-0649

Symptoms

• PCI compliance scan shows a warning:

  1. Web Server external IP Address/Internal Network Name Disclosure Vulnerability
  8443 / tcp
  CVE-2000-0649
  The remote check for the webserver internal IP address sends an HTTP GET request to the target web server. The QID is flagged if a "Content-location:" header or a 3xx redirect address in an HTTP response contains an RFC1918 IP address.

  2. Web Server Internal IP Address/Internal Network Name Disclosure Vulnerability
  8880 / tcp
  CVE-2000-0649
  The remote check for the webserver internal IP address sends an HTTP GET request to the target web server. The QID is flagged if a "Content-location:" header or a 3xx redirect address in an HTTP response contains an RFC1918 IP address.

Cause

Plesk bug #PPP-47782, which will be resolved in future product updates.
An attacker can create a specific HTTP1.0 request to the server and it will return the internal IP address of the host even if the server is behind a firewall or NAT, which will disclose the true internal IP address to the remote user.

Resolution

1. Connect to the server via SSH.

2. Set the proper and resolvable server hostname as described in the "Via CLI (Linux only)" section in this article.

3. Create the file /etc/sw-cp-server/conf.d/server-name-plesk.inc

   # touch /etc/sw-cp-server/conf.d/server-name-plesk.inc

4. Edit file /etc/sw-cp-server/conf.d/server-name-plesk.inc and add following content to it

   server_name example.com;
   server_name_in_redirect on;

   Where 'example.com' is the server hostname.

5. (Optional) Disable support of the outdated HTTP 1.0 protocol:

   • Create the file /etc/sw-cp-server/conf.d/disable-http-1.0-plesk.inc

     # touch /etc/sw-cp-server/conf.d/disable-http-1.0-plesk.inc

   • Edit file /etc/sw-cp-server/conf.d/disable-http-1.0-plesk.inc and add following content to it

     if ($server_protocol = HTTP/1.0) {
     return 444;
     }

6. Restart the sw-cp-server service:

   # service sw-cp-server restart
