TITLE

CiscoWorks LMS Included with Cisco CiscoWorks IPM Vulnerable to buffer overflow

DESCRIPTION

Buffer overflow in Cisco CiscoWorks Internetwork Performance Monitor (IPM) 2.6 and earlier on Windows, as distributed in CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS), allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed getProcessName CORBA General Inter-ORB Protocol (GIOP) request, related to a "third-party component," aka Bug ID CSCsv62350. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.The specific flaw exists in the handling of CORBA GIOP requests. By making a specially crafted getProcessName GIOP request an attacker can corrupt memory. Successful exploitation can result in a full compromise with SYSTEM credentials. Failed attacks will likely cause denial-of-service conditions. This issue is documented by Cisco Bug ID CSCsv62350. NOTE: IPM is built with an unsupported third-party component; Cisco indicates that updates to IPM will not be available. This issue affects CiscoWorks IPM 2.6 and earlier for Microsoft Windows.

Researchers interested in getting paid for their security research through the ZDI can find more information and sign-up at: http://www.zerodayinitiative.com The ZDI is unique in how the acquired vulnerability information is used. TippingPoint does not re-sell the vulnerability details or any exploit code. Instead, upon notifying the affected product vendor, TippingPoint provides its customers with zero day protection through its intrusion prevention technology. Explicit details regarding the specifics of the vulnerability are not exposed to any parties until an official vendor patch is publicly available. Furthermore, with the altruistic aim of helping to secure a broader user base, TippingPoint provides this vulnerability information confidentially to security vendors (including competitors) who have a vulnerability protection or mitigation product. Our vulnerability disclosure policy is available online at: http://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/disclosure_policy/. There are no workarounds for this vulnerability. This advisory is posted at: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20100120-ipm.shtml Affected Products ================= Vulnerable Products +------------------ CiscoWorks IPM versions 2.6 and earlier for Windows operating systems are affected. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- CiscoWorks IPM version 2.x for Sun Solaris and CiscoWorks IPM version 4.x for Windows and Solaris operating systems are not affected. No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this vulnerability. Details ======= CiscoWorks IPM is a troubleshooting application that gauges network response time and availability. CiscoWorks IPM is available as a component within the CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS) bundle. 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 CSCsv62350 - Malformed CORBA GIOP request causes crash CVSS Base Score - 10 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - Complete Integrity Impact - Complete Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 9.5 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Unavailable Report Confidence - Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in the ability to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges on affected Windows systems. Software Versions and Fixes =========================== Ciscoworks IPM versions 2.6 and earlier for Windows contain a vulnerable third-party component that is no longer supported. Cisco is unable to provide updated software for affected CiscoWorks versions. Consult the "Obtaining Fixed Software" section of this advisory for instructions on how to address vulnerable systems. Workarounds =========== There are no workarounds for this vulnerability. It is possible to mitigate this vulnerability by restricting network access to TCP ports on an affected Windows system running IPM versions 2.6 and earlier to trusted systems. Additional mitigation techniques that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the network are available in the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin companion document for this advisory: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20100120-ipm.shtml Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Ciscoworks IPM versions 2.6 and earlier for Windows contain a vulnerable third-party component that is no longer supported. Cisco is unable to provide updated software for affected CiscoWorks versions. Customers with active software licenses for the IPM component of CiscoWorks versions 2.6 and earlier for Windows should send email to the following address for instructions on migrating to non-vulnerable software: ipm-corba-fix@cisco.com Exploitation and Public Announcements ===================================== The Cisco PSIRT is not aware of any public announcements or malicious use of the vulnerability described in this advisory.
