CVE-2008-1447

TITLE

Multiple DNS implementations vulnerable to cache poisoning

DESCRIPTION

The DNS protocol, as implemented in (1) BIND 8 and 9 before 9.5.0-P1, 9.4.2-P1, and 9.3.5-P1; (2) Microsoft DNS in Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2 and SP3, and Server 2003 SP1 and SP2; and other implementations allow remote attackers to spoof DNS traffic via a birthday attack that uses in-bailiwick referrals to conduct cache poisoning against recursive resolvers, related to insufficient randomness of DNS transaction IDs and source ports, aka "DNS Insufficient Socket Entropy Vulnerability" or "the Kaminsky bug.". Deficiencies in the DNS protocol and common DNS implementations facilitate DNS cache poisoning attacks. The Microsoft Windows DNS Server is vulnerable to cache poisoning, which may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a Windows DNS server to provide incorrect responses to DNS queries. In IP NAT filtering in Sun Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris series products, when a DNS server runs NAT, it incorrectly changes the original address of the data packet. When the destination address is a DNS port, it will allow remote attackers to bypass CVE-2008 -1447 security protection. Therefore, DNS servers that are only authoritative, or servers where recursion is not allowed, are not affected. Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080708-dns.shtml. This security advisory is being published simultaneously with announcements from other affected organizations. Products that process DNS messages with the RD flag set will attempt to answer the question asked on behalf of the client. A product is only affected if using a vulnerable implementation of the DNS protocol, the DNS server functionality for the product is enabled, and the DNS feature for the product is configured to process recursive DNS query messages. Vulnerable Products +------------------ The following Cisco products are capable of acting as DNS servers and have been found to have the DNS implementation weakness that makes some types of DNS cache poisoning attacks more likely to succeed: * Cisco IOS Software A device that is running Cisco IOS Software will be affected if it is running a vulnerable version and if it is acting as a DNS server. All Cisco IOS Software releases that support the DNS server functionality and that have not had their DNS implementation improved are affected. For information about specific fixed versions, please refer to the Software Versions and Fixes section. A device that is running Cisco IOS Software is configured to act as a DNS server if the command "ip dns server" is present in the configuration. This command is not enabled by default. * Cisco Network Registrar All Cisco Network Registrar versions are affected, and DNS services are enabled by default. The DNS server on CNR is enabled via the command-line interface (CLI) commands "server dns enable start-on-reboot" or "dns enable start-on-reboot" or via the web management interface in the Servers page by selecting the appropriate "Start," "Stop," or "Reload" button. * Cisco Application and Content Networking System All Cisco Application and Content Networking System (ACNS) versions are affected; DNS services are disabled by default. ACNS is configured to act as a DNS server if the command "dns enable" is present in the configuration. * Cisco Global Site Selector Used in Combination with Cisco Network Registrar The Cisco Global Site Selector (GSS) is affected when it is used in combination with Cisco Network Registrar software to provide a more complete DNS solution. Fixed software would come in the form of an update of the Cisco Network Registrar software rather than an update of the GSS software. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- Products that do not offer DNS server capabilities are not affected by this vulnerability. The Cisco GSS by itself is not affected by this vulnerability. However, it is affected when it is used with Cisco Network Registrar software. No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities. Details ======= The Domain Name System is an integral part of networks that are based on TCP/IP such as the Internet. Simply stated, the Domain Name System is a hierarchical database that contains mappings of hostnames and IP addresses. When handling a query from a DNS client, a DNS server can look into its portion of the global DNS database (if the query is for a portion of the DNS database for which the DNS server is authoritative), or it can relay the query to other DNS servers (if it is configured to do so and if the query is for a portion of the DNS database for which the DNS server is not authoritative.) Because of the processing time and bandwidth that is associated with handling a DNS query, most DNS servers locally store responses that are received from other DNS servers. The area where these responses are stored locally is called a "cache." Once a response is stored in a cache, the DNS server can use the locally stored response for a certain time (called the "time to live") before having to query DNS servers again to refresh the local (cached) copy of the response. If this happens, a user who is trying to visit www.example.com may end up contacting the wrong web server. The fundamental implementation weakness is that the DNS transaction ID and source port number used to validate DNS responses are not sufficiently randomized and can easily be predicted, which allows an attacker to create forged responses to DNS queries that will match the expected values. The following Cisco products that offer DNS server functionality have been found to be susceptible to DNS cache poisoning attacks: * Cisco IOS Software: The vulnerability documented in Cisco bug ID CSCso81854. * Cisco Network Registrar: The vulnerability documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsq01298. * Cisco Application and Content Networking System (ACNS): The vulnerability documented in Cisco bug ID CSCsq21930. This vulnerability has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2008-1447. Vulnerability Scoring Details +---------------------------- Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerabilities in this advisory based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS scoring in this Security Advisory is done in accordance with CVSS version 2.0. CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability severity and helps determine urgency and priority of response. Cisco has provided a base and temporal score. Customers can then compute environmental scores to assist in determining the impact of the vulnerability in individual networks. Cisco has provided an FAQ to answer additional questions regarding CVSS at http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to help compute the environmental impact for individual networks at http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss Cisco Bugs: * DNS cache prone to poisoning/forged answers attacks (CSCsq21930) * DNS susceptible to forged query response attacks (CSCsq01298) * Need to make DNS implementation more resilient against forged answers (CSCso81854) CVSS Base Score - 6.4 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - None Integrity Impact - Partial Availability Impact - Partial CVSS Temporal Score - 5.3 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed (same score for the three Cisco bugs listed above.) Impact ====== Successful exploitation of the vulnerability described in this document may result in invalid hostname-to-IP address mappings in the cache of an affected DNS server. This may lead users of this DNS server to contact the wrong provider of network services. The ultimate impact varies greatly, ranging from a simple denial of service (for example, making www.example.com resolve to 127.0.0.1) to phishing and financial fraud. Software Versions and Fixes =========================== When considering software upgrades, also consult http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt and any subsequent advisories to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution. In all cases, customers should exercise caution to be certain the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or your contracted maintenance provider for assistance. Cisco IOS Software +----------------- Each row of the Cisco IOS Software table (below) names a Cisco IOS Software release train. If a given release train is vulnerable, then the earliest possible releases that contain the fix (along with the anticipated date of availability for each, if applicable) are listed in the "First Fixed Release" column of the table. The "Recommended Release" column indicates the releases which have fixes for all the published vulnerabilities at the time of this Advisory. A device running a release in the given train that is earlier than the release in a specific column (less than the First Fixed Release) is known to be vulnerable. Cisco recommends upgrading to a release equal to or later than the release in the "Recommended Releases" column of the table. +----------------------------------------+ | Major | Availability of | | Release | Repaired Releases | |------------+---------------------------| | Affected | First Fixed | Recommended | | 12.0-Based | Release | Release | | Releases | | | |------------+-------------+-------------| | 12.0 | Not | | | | Vulnerable | | |------------+-------------+-------------| | 12.0DA | Not | | | | Vulnerable | | |------------+-------------+-------------| | | Releases | | | | prior to | | | | 12.0(7)DB | | | | are | | | | vulnerable, | 12.4(19a) | | 12.0DB | release | | | | 12.0(7)DB | 12.4(19b) | | | and later | | | | are not | | | | vulnerable;

Cisco ACNS 5.5 software is available for download at: http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/acns55 Workarounds =========== There are no workarounds. Additional information about identification and mitigation of attacks against DNS is in the Cisco Applied Intelligence white paper "DNS Best Practices, Network Protections, and Attack Identification," available at http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/dns-bcp.html. Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities. Prior to deploying software, customers should consult their maintenance provider or check the software for feature set compatibility and known issues specific to their environment. Customers may only install and expect support for the feature sets they have purchased. By installing, downloading, accessing or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to be bound by the terms of Cisco's software license terms found at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/prod_warranties_item09186a008088e31f.html, or as otherwise set forth at Cisco.com Downloads at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-usingswc.shtml. Do not contact psirt@cisco.com or security-alert@cisco.com for software upgrades. Customers with Service Contracts +------------------------------- Customers with contracts should obtain upgraded software through their regular update channels. For most customers, this means that upgrades should be obtained through the Software Center on Cisco's worldwide website at http://www.cisco.com. Customers using Third Party Support Organizations +------------------------------------------------ Customers whose Cisco products are provided or maintained through prior or existing agreements with third-party support organizations, such as Cisco Partners, authorized resellers, or service providers should contact that support organization for guidance and assistance with the appropriate course of action in regards to this advisory. The effectiveness of any workaround or fix is dependent on specific customer situations, such as product mix, network topology, traffic behavior, and organizational mission. Due to the variety of affected products and releases, customers should consult with their service provider or support organization to ensure any applied workaround or fix is the most appropriate for use in the intended network before it is deployed. Customers without Service Contracts +---------------------------------- Customers who purchase direct from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service contract, and customers who purchase through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should acquire upgrades by contacting the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). TAC contacts are as follows. * +1 800 553 2447 (toll free from within North America) * +1 408 526 7209 (toll call from anywhere in the world) * e-mail: tac@cisco.com Customers should have their product serial number available and be prepared to give the URL of this notice as evidence of entitlement to a free upgrade. Free upgrades for non-contract customers must be requested through the TAC. Refer to http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml for additional TAC contact information, including localized telephone numbers, and instructions and e-mail addresses for use in various languages.

Subscribe: http://secunia.com/secunia_security_advisories/ Definitions: (Criticality, Where etc.) http://secunia.com/about_secunia_advisories/ Please Note: Secunia recommends that you verify all advisories you receive by clicking the link. Secunia NEVER sends attached files with advisories. Secunia does not advise people to install third party patches, only use those supplied by the vendor. The first issue can be exploited by enticing pdnsd to send a query to a malicious DNS server, or using the port randomization weakness, and might lead to a Denial of Service. Workaround ========== Port randomization can be enabled by setting the "query_port_start" option to 1024 which would resolve the CVE-2008-1447 issue. Among other things, successful attacks can lead to misdirected web traffic and email rerouting. This update changes Debian's dnsmasq packages to implement the recommended countermeasure: UDP query source port randomization. This change increases the size of the space from which an attacker has to guess values in a backwards-compatible fashion and makes successful attacks significantly more difficult. This update also switches the random number generator to Dan Bernstein's SURF. For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 2.35-1+etch4. Packages for alpha will be provided later. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2.43-1. We recommend that you upgrade your dnsmasq package.

Problem Description I Security Issues a. Setting ActiveX killbit Starting from this release, VMware has set the killbit on its ActiveX controls. Setting the killbit ensures that ActiveX controls cannot run in Internet Explorer (IE), and avoids security issues involving ActiveX controls in IE. See the Microsoft KB article 240797 and the related references on this topic. Security vulnerabilities have been reported for ActiveX controls provided by VMware when run in IE. Under specific circumstances, exploitation of these ActiveX controls might result in denial-of- service or can allow running of arbitrary code when the user browses a malicious Web site or opens a malicious file in IE browser. An attempt to run unsafe ActiveX controls in IE might result in pop-up windows warning the user. Note: IE can be configured to run unsafe ActiveX controls without prompting. VMware recommends that you retain the default settings in IE, which prompts when unsafe actions are requested. Earlier, VMware had issued knowledge base articles, KB 5965318 and KB 9078920 on security issues with ActiveX controls. To avoid malicious scripts that exploit ActiveX controls, do not enable unsafe ActiveX objects in your browser settings. As a best practice, do not browse untrusted Web sites as an administrator and do not click OK or Yes if prompted by IE to allow certain actions. VMware would like to thank Julien Bachmann, Shennan Wang, Shinnai, and Michal Bucko for reporting these issues to us.

VMware ISAPI Extension Denial of Service The Internet Server Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) is an API that extends the functionality of Internet Information Server (IIS). VMware uses ISAPI extensions in its Server product. One of the ISAPI extensions provided by VMware is vulnerable to a remote denial of service. By sending a malformed request, IIS might shut down. IIS 6.0 restarts automatically. However, IIS 5.0 does not restart automatically when its Startup Type is set to Manual.

VMware Consolidated Backup(VCB) command-line utilities may expose sensitive information VMware Consolidated Backup command-line utilities accept the user password through the -p command-line option. Users logged into the service console could gain access to the username and password used by VCB command-line utilities when such commands are running. This patch resolves this issue by providing an alternative way of passing the password used by VCB command-line utilities. The following options are recommended for passing the password: 1. The password is specified in /etc/backuptools.conf (PASSWORD=xxxxx), and -p is not used in the command line. /etc/backuptools.conf file permissions are read/write only for root. 2. No password is specified in /etc/backuptools.conf and the -p option is not used in the command line. The user will be prompted to enter a password. ESX is not affected unless you use VCB.

Version 9.2.4.-22.el3 addresses the recently discovered vulnerability in the BIND software used for Domain Name resolution (DNS). Of the BIND packages, VMware only ships bind-util and bind-lib in the service console and these components by themselves cannot be used to setup a DNS server. VMware explicitly discourages installing applications like BIND on the service console. In case the customer has installed BIND, and the DNS server is configured to support recursive queries, their ESX Server system is affected and they should replace BIND with a patched version.

Security Advisory (08-AUG-2008) (CVE-2008-3280) =============================================== Ben Laurie of Google's Applied Security team, while working with an external researcher, Dr. Richard Clayton of the Computer Laboratory, Cambridge University, found that various OpenID Providers (OPs) had TLS Server Certificates that used weak keys, as a result of the Debian Predictable Random Number Generator (CVE-2008-0166). In combination with the DNS Cache Poisoning issue (CVE-2008-1447) and the fact that almost all SSL/TLS implementations do not consult CRLs (currently an untracked issue), this means that it is impossible to rely on these OPs. Attack Description ------------------ In order to mount an attack against a vulnerable OP, the attacker first finds the private key corresponding to the weak TLS certificate. He then sets up a website masquerading as the original OP, both for the OpenID protocol and also for HTTP/HTTPS. There are two cases, one is where the victim is a user trying to identify themselves, in which case, even if they use HTTPS to "ensure" that the site they are visiting is indeed their provider, they will be unable to detect the substitution and will give their login credentials to the attacker. The second case is where the victim is the Relying Party (RP). In this case, even if the RP uses TLS to connect to the OP, as is recommended for higher assurance, he will not be defended, as the vast majority of OpenID implementations do not check CRLs, and will, therefore, accept the malicious site as the true OP. Mitigation ---------- Mitigation is surprisingly hard. In theory the vulnerable site should revoke their weak certificate and issue a new one. However, since the CRLs will almost certainly not be checked, this means the site will still be vulnerable to attack for the lifetime of the certificate (and perhaps beyond, depending on user behaviour). Note that shutting down the site DOES NOT prevent the attack. Therefore mitigation falls to other parties. Until either 1 and 2 or 3 have been done, OpenID cannot be trusted for any OP that cannot demonstrate it has never had a weak certificate. Discussion ---------- Normally, when security problems are encountered with a single piece of software, the responsible thing to do is to is to wait until fixes are available before making any announcement. However, as a number of examples in the past have demonstrated, this approach does not work particularly well when many different pieces of software are involved because it is necessary to coordinate a simultaneous release of the fixes, whilst hoping that the very large number of people involved will cooperate in keeping the vulnerability secret. In the present situation, the fixes will involve considerable development work in adding CRL handling to a great many pieces of openID code. This is a far from trivial amount of work. The fixes will also involve changes to browser preferences to ensure that CRLs are checked by default -- which many vendors have resisted for years. We are extremely pessimistic that a security vulnerability in OpenID will be seen as sufficiently important to change the browser vendors minds. Hence, we see no value in delaying this announcement; and by making the details public as soon as possible, we believe that individuals who rely on OpenID will be better able to take their own individual steps to avoid relying upon the flawed certificates we have identified. OpenID is at heart quite a weak protocol, when used in its most general form[1], and consequently there is very limited reliance upon its security. This means that the consequences of the combination of attacks that are now possible is nothing like as serious as might otherwise have been the case. However, it does give an insight into the type of security disaster that may occur in the future if we do not start to take CRLs seriously, but merely stick them onto "to-do" lists or disable them in the name of tiny performance improvements. Affected Sites -------------- There is no central registry of OpenID systems, and so we cannot be sure that we have identified all of the weak certificates that are currently being served. The list of those we have found so far is: openid.sun.com www.xopenid.net openid.net.nz Notes ----- [1] There are ways of using OpenID that are significantly more secure than the commonly deployed scheme, I shall describe those in a separate article. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
