TITLE

Check Point Multi-Domain Management / Provider-1 NGX Vulnerable to overwriting arbitrary files

DESCRIPTION

Unspecified vulnerability in Check Point Multi-Domain Management / Provider-1 NGX R65, R70, R71, and R75, and SmartCenter during installation on non-Windows machines, allows local users on the MDS system to overwrite arbitrary files via unknown vectors. Check Point Provider-1 is prone to an unspecified security vulnerability. No further technical details are currently available. We will update this BID as more information emerges. ======================================================================= title: Symlink Following and Second-Order Symlink Vulnerabilities in Multiple Check Point Security Management Products product: Check Point Security Management * Multi-Domain Security Management / Provider-1 * SmartCenter vulnerable version: multiple products, see sections below fixed version: multiple products, see sections below CVE number: CVE-2011-2664 impact: high homepage: http://www.checkpoint.com found: 2010-08-13 by: Matthew Flanagan http://wadofstuff.blogspot.com ======================================================================= Vendor Product Description -------------------------- "Security Management and Multi-Domain Security Management (Provider-1) delivers more security and control by segmenting your security management into multiple virtual domains. Businesses of all sizes can easily create virtual domains based on geography, business unit or security function to strengthen security and simplify management." URL: http://www.checkpoint.com/products/multi-domain-security-management/index.html "Check Point UTM-1 Edge appliances deliver proven, best-in-class security right out of the box! These simple, all-in-one appliances allow branch offices to deploy comprehensive security quickly and easily. These appliances offer robust performance, powerful central management and advanced wireless options." URL: http://www.checkpoint.com/products/utm-1-edge/index.html Vulnerability Description ------------------------- A post-installation shell script is executed both in the provisioning of a Security Management Domain and installation of a standalone SmartCenter. The script is used to generate a configuration file for use by the SofaWare Management Server (SMS). The SMS is used to send all configuration changes performed in the SmartCenter/Management Domain to UTM-1 Edge devices. UTM-1 Edge devices also communicate their status to the SmartCenter/Management Domain via SMS. The script also contains a second-order symlink vulnerability [1] which makes it possible for an attacker to gain control of the SMS configuration file: $FWDIR/conf/sofaware/SWManagementServer.ini. The SWManagementServer.ini file contains sensitive information and configuration parameters for the management of UTM-1 Edge firewall appliances such as firmware versions, mail proxies, logging levels, and many timeout and polling intervals for various software components running on the Edge devices. The likelhood of exploiting this vulnerability on a server running SmartCenter is low due to it only being exploitable during the installation of the software. However, for Management Domains running on a Multi-Domain Management / Provider-1 server the likelihood is much higher as the vulnerability can be exploited every time a new Management Domain is created. Exploit ------- An exploit will not be published. Vulnerable Versions ------------------- R65.70 R70.40 R71.30 R75.10 On Linux, SecurePlatform and Solaris.
