TITLE

Cisco IronPort Encryption Appliance Etc. HTTPS Vulnerability in arbitrary code execution on server

DESCRIPTION

Unspecified vulnerability in the embedded HTTPS server on the Cisco IronPort Encryption Appliance 6.2.x before 6.2.9.1 and 6.5.x before 6.5.2, and the IronPort PostX MAP before 6.2.9.1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, aka IronPort Bug 65923. Cisco IronPort Encryption Appliance is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. This vulnerability is documented by IronPort bug 65923. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successful exploits will completely compromise affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. 2) An error in the IronPort Encryption Appliance WebSafe servlet can be exploited to disclose arbitrary files.

Note: Customers should contact IronPort support to determine which software fixes are applicable for their environment. Please consult the Obtaining Fixed Software section of this advisory for more information. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- Cisco IronPort C, M, and S-Series appliances are not affected by these vulnerabilities. No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities. Details ======= Note: IronPort tracks bugs using an internal system that is not available to customers. The IronPort bug tracking identifiers are provided for reference only. The first vulnerability affecting the Cisco IronPort Encryption Appliance administration interface is documented in IronPort bug 65921 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier CVE-2010-0143. The second vulnerability affecting the WebSafe servlet is documented in IronPort bug 65922 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier CVE-2010-0144. 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 IronPort Bug 65921 - Arbitrary File Access Through Administrative Interface CVSS Base Score - 7.8 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - Complete Integrity Impact - None Availability Impact - None CVSS Temporal Score - 6.4 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed IronPort Bug 65922 - WebSafe DistributorServlet Allows Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Access CVSS Base Score - 7.8 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - Complete Integrity Impact - None Availability Impact - None CVSS Temporal Score - 6.4 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed IronPort Bug 65923 - Default Config Allows Unauthenticated Remote Arbitrary Code CVSS Base Score - 10 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - Complete Integrity Impact - Complete Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 8.3 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to access arbitrary files or execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. 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. Workarounds =========== It is possible to mitigate the administration interface file access vulnerability (IronPort Bug 65921) by using the IP address restriction feature of the administration interface to limit access to trusted hosts. Access to the administration interface is not restricted by default. To configure access limits, an administrator should navigate to "Configuration -> Web Services -> Admin -> Console Security" area in the Cisco IronPort Encryption Appliance administration interface. To disable the HTTP Invoker, an administrator must delete several files in the PostX application home directory and remove a directive from the web server configuration. The following files must be deleted: jboss/server/postx/deploy/http-invoker.sar jboss/server/postx/deploy/jms/jbossmq-httpil.sar The following directive must be removed from the "jboss/server/postx/conf/jboss-service.xml web" server configuration file. <mbean code="org.jboss.varia.deployment.BeanShellSubDeployer" name="jboss.scripts:service=BSHDeployer"> </mbean> After deleting the files and removing the directive from the configuration file, the PostX application service must be restarted. 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-20100210-ironport.shtml Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities.
