optionsbleed

This is a proof of concept code to test for the Optionsbleed bug in Apache httpd (CVE-2017-9798).

usage

optionsbleed [-h] [-n N] [-a] [-u] hosttocheck

Check for the Optionsbleed vulnerability (CVE-2017-9798).

positional arguments:
  hosttocheck  The hostname you want to test against

optional arguments:
  -h, --help   show this help message and exit
  -n N         number of tests (default 10)
  -a, --all    show headers from hosts without problems
  -u, --url    pass URL instead of hostname

Tests server for Optionsbleed bug and other bugs in the allow header.

Automatically checks http://, https://, http://www. and https://www. -
except if you pass -u/--url (which means by default we check 40 times.)

output explanation

The script outputs the returned Allow header and prefixes it with an explanation what is wrong with it.

[bleed]

A corrupted header was sent, very likely the Optionsbleed bug.

[empty]

An empty header was sent, which is bogus.

[spaces]

The list of methods was space-separated instead of comma-separated.

This is a bug, but harmless. It may be Launchpad bug #1717682.

[duplicates]

Some methods were sent multiple times in the list.

This is a bug, but harmless. It may be Apache bug #61207.

[ok]

Nothing wrong with this header (only sent with -a/--all).
