VAR-201007-0247 | CVE-2010-2659 | Opera Vulnerability where important information is obtained |
CVSS V2: 4.3 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Opera before 10.50 on Windows, before 10.52 on Mac OS X, and before 10.60 on UNIX platforms makes widget properties accessible to third-party domains, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information via a crafted web site. Opera Web Browser is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities, including:
Multiple denial-of-service vulnerabilities
A security-bypass vulnerability
An information-disclosure vulnerability
An attacker can exploit these issues to cause a denial-of-service condition, gain access to sensitive information and bypass certain security restrictions. Other attacks are also possible.
Versions prior to Opera 10.60 are vulnerable. It supports multi-window browsing and a customizable user interface. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Opera, the worst of which
allow for the execution of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
Opera is a fast web browser that is available free of charge.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-client/opera < 12.00.1467 >= 12.00.1467
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Opera. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted web
page, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. A remote
attacker may be able to: trick users into downloading and executing
arbitrary files, bypass intended access restrictions, spoof trusted
content, spoof URLs, bypass the Same Origin Policy, obtain sensitive
information, force subscriptions to arbitrary feeds, bypass the popup
blocker, bypass CSS filtering, conduct cross-site scripting attacks, or
have other unknown impact.
A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary
files with the privileges of the user running the application or
possibly obtain sensitive information.
A physically proximate attacker may be able to access an email account.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Opera users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/opera-12.00.1467"

VAR-201006-0505 | No CVE | NETGEAR WG602v4 Management Password Remote Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: - CVSS V3: - Severity: - |
NETGEAR WG602v4 is a wireless router device. The verification process in the WEB interface of the NETGEAR WG602v4 device has a buffer overflow, and an attacker can exploit the vulnerability to stop the device from responding. The auth_authorize() function handles this process by submitting an administrator password of more than 128 characters to trigger a buffer overflow. The NETGEAR WG602v4 is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the device fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.
Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition

CVSS V2: 5.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
The web interface on the Cisco Scientific Atlanta WebSTAR DPC2100R2 cable modem with firmware 2.0.2r1256-060303 has a default administrative password (aka SAPassword) of W2402, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain privileged access. The Cisco DPC2100 is a small cable modem
VAR-201005-0064 | CVE-2010-0595 | Cisco Mediator Framework Vulnerabilities that gain access privileges |
CVSS V2: 10.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Cisco Mediator Framework 1.5.1 before 1.5.1.build.14-eng, 2.2 before 2.2.1.dev.1, and 3.0 before 3.0.9.release.1 on the Cisco Network Building Mediator NBM-2400 and NBM-4800 and the Richards-Zeta Mediator 2500 has a default password for the administrative user account and unspecified other accounts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain privileged access, aka Bug ID CSCtb83495. The problem is Bug ID : CSCtb83495 It is a problem.Access rights may be obtained by a third party. Cisco Network Building Mediator (NBM) products are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to gain control of a vulnerable device or to cause a denial of service. The Cisco Network Building Mediator is a smart, interconnected building solution that intelligently interconnects and operates heating, ventilation and cooling systems (HVAC), lighting, power, security, and renewable energy systems over IP networks. There are several security vulnerabilities in Cisco Network Building Mediator, as follows: - Default Authentication Credentials (CVE-2010-0595): Multiple predefined users on the device, including administrator user accounts using default authentication information, any network access device Users can log in to the control system as an administrator.-Privilege Escalation (CVE-2010-0596, CVE-2010-0597): Vulnerability allows unauthorized users to read and modify device configurations, malicious users must be able to successfully authenticate, but do not require administrator privileges Or modify the device configuration if you know the administrator to verify the credentials. Both vulnerabilities need to be attacked via HTTP or HTTPS transport protocol. In addition, Cisco bug ID CSCtb83618 (CVE-2010-0597) vulnerability can be used for heavy-duty devices, continuous exploitation of vulnerabilities Can lead to denial of service attacks. - Unauthorized information interception (CVE-2010-0598, CVE-2010-0599): Operator workstation Cisco Network Building Mediator did not protect unauthorized interception of sessions, malicious users could intercept sessions, obtain arbitrary authentication information, and use this information to control devices. CVE-2010-0598 related vulnerabilities allow malicious users to intercept HTTP session access The administrator verifies the credentials. CVE-2010-0599 related vulnerabilities allow malicious users to intercept XML RPC session access administrator authentication credentials. - Unauthorized Information Access (CVE-2010-0600): Malicious users can read system configuration files, configuration files Contains user account information, including passwords. Attackers can perform attacks and read configuration files via XML RPC or XML RCP over the HTTPS protocol.
An attacker can exploit this issue to gain unauthorized administrative access to the affected device. Successful exploits will result in the complete compromise of the affected device. These vulnerabilities also affect the legacy
Richards-Zeta Mediator products. This security advisory outlines
details of the following vulnerabilities:
* Default credentials
* Privilege escalation
* Unauthorized information interception
* Unauthorized information access
Cisco has released free software updates that address these
vulnerabilities. Workarounds that mitigate some of the listed
vulnerabilities are available. All Mediator Framework software releases prior to 3.1.1 are
affected by all vulnerabilities listed in this security advisory.

Impact
======
Successful exploitation of any of these vulnerabilities could result
in a malicious user taking complete control over an affected device.
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.
Each row of the software table below names a Mediator Framework
software release. If a given software release 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. Cisco recommends
upgrading to the latest available release where possible. All
vulnerabilities are fixed in Mediator Framework release 3.1.1 and
above. Mediator Framework release 3.1.1 is the recommended migration
path for all Mediator Framework releases.
Vulnerabilities do not affect Mediator Operating Environment.
To obtain fixed 1.5.1 and 2.2 Mediator Framework software and
configTOOL version 3.1.0b1 contact Cisco TAC.
Privilege escalation
+-------------------
There are no workarounds for these vulnerabilities.
Unauthorized information interception
+------------------------------------
The following workaround is applicable only to the vulnerability
related to HTTP protocol. There is no workaround for the
vulnerability that affects XML RPC service. The HTTPS service is enabled and running by
default and no further actions are needed to enable it. The HTTP
service can be disabled with configTOOL. Inside the Node tree pane, expand theservices tab, and
then expand tab the network tab. Click the http_server tab, and then
click the Enabled to uncheck it.
Unauthorized information access
+------------------------------
There is no workaround for this vulnerability. In
the following examples it is assumed that the operator console has IP
address 192.0.2.1. The 192.0.2.1 address must be changed to match the
IP address used by the designated operator console. The following
code must be entered on the console. Please refer to section 2.4 in
the user guide at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/physical_security/cnbm/User/guide/CNBM__UG.pdf
for information on how to connect to the serial port using
hyper-terminal.
# The following rule establishes a default policy for INPUT rule chain.
# The default policy is to drop all packets unless they are explicitly
# permitted by a rule in the INPUT chain
iptables -P INPUT DROP
# This rule will allow all traffic from operator console with
# IP address of 192.0.2.1 to the Cisco NBM
#
# Change 192.0.2.1 to match IP address used by your operators console.
iptables -I INPUT 1 --source 192.0.2.1 -j ACCEPT
# Repeat the previous command if you have more than one operator console.
# Increment the number after the "INPUT" keyword for each console you
# are adding.
#
# This command will allow second operator console with IP address
# of 192.0.2.2 to access the Cisco NBM
iptables -I INPUT 2 --source 192.0.2.2 -j ACCEPT
When applying rules form the above example care must be taken to
allow access to ports or protocols that are used by sensors and other
devices deployed in the system that are monitored and controlled by
the Cisco Network Building Mediator. Failure to do so will break
connectivity to these sensors and devices.
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-20100526-mediator.shtml

VAR-201005-0905 | CVE-2010-0595 | Cisco Network Building Mediator products contain multiple vulnerabilities |
CVSS V2: 10.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Cisco Mediator Framework 1.5.1 before 1.5.1.build.14-eng, 2.2 before 2.2.1.dev.1, and 3.0 before 3.0.9.release.1 on the Cisco Network Building Mediator NBM-2400 and NBM-4800 and the Richards-Zeta Mediator 2500 has a default password for the administrative user account and unspecified other accounts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain privileged access, aka Bug ID CSCtb83495. Cisco Network Building Mediator (NBM) products are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to gain control of a vulnerable device or to cause a denial of service. The problem is Bug ID : CSCtb83495 It is a problem.Access rights may be obtained by a third party. The Cisco Network Building Mediator is a smart, interconnected building solution that intelligently interconnects and operates heating, ventilation and cooling systems (HVAC), lighting, power, security, and renewable energy systems over IP networks. There are several security vulnerabilities in Cisco Network Building Mediator, as follows: - Default Authentication Credentials (CVE-2010-0595): Multiple predefined users on the device, including administrator user accounts using default authentication information, any network access device Users can log in to the control system as an administrator.-Privilege Escalation (CVE-2010-0596, CVE-2010-0597): Vulnerability allows unauthorized users to read and modify device configurations, malicious users must be able to successfully authenticate, but do not require administrator privileges Or modify the device configuration if you know the administrator to verify the credentials. Both vulnerabilities need to be attacked via HTTP or HTTPS transport protocol. In addition, Cisco bug ID CSCtb83618 (CVE-2010-0597) vulnerability can be used for heavy-duty devices, continuous exploitation of vulnerabilities Can lead to denial of service attacks. - Unauthorized information interception (CVE-2010-0598, CVE-2010-0599): Operator workstation Cisco Network Building Mediator did not protect unauthorized interception of sessions, malicious users could intercept sessions, obtain arbitrary authentication information, and use this information to control devices. CVE-2010-0598 related vulnerabilities allow malicious users to intercept HTTP session access The administrator verifies the credentials. CVE-2010-0599 related vulnerabilities allow malicious users to intercept XML RPC session access administrator authentication credentials. - Unauthorized Information Access (CVE-2010-0600): Malicious users can read system configuration files, configuration files Contains user account information, including passwords. Attackers can perform attacks and read configuration files via XML RPC or XML RCP over the HTTPS protocol.
An attacker can exploit this issue to gain unauthorized administrative access to the affected device. Successful exploits will result in the complete compromise of the affected device. Remote attackers can easily gain access. These vulnerabilities also affect the legacy
Richards-Zeta Mediator products. This security advisory outlines
details of the following vulnerabilities:
* Default credentials
* Privilege escalation
* Unauthorized information interception
* Unauthorized information access
Cisco has released free software updates that address these
vulnerabilities. Workarounds that mitigate some of the listed
vulnerabilities are available. All Mediator Framework software releases prior to 3.1.1 are
affected by all vulnerabilities listed in this security advisory.

======
Successful exploitation of any of these vulnerabilities could result
in a malicious user taking complete control over an affected device.
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.
Each row of the software table below names a Mediator Framework
software release. If a given software release 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. Cisco recommends
upgrading to the latest available release where possible. All
vulnerabilities are fixed in Mediator Framework release 3.1.1 and
above. Mediator Framework release 3.1.1 is the recommended migration
path for all Mediator Framework releases.
Vulnerabilities do not affect Mediator Operating Environment.
To obtain fixed 1.5.1 and 2.2 Mediator Framework software and
configTOOL version 3.1.0b1 contact Cisco TAC.
Privilege escalation
+-------------------
There are no workarounds for these vulnerabilities.
Unauthorized information interception
+------------------------------------
The following workaround is applicable only to the vulnerability
related to HTTP protocol. There is no workaround for the
vulnerability that affects XML RPC service. The HTTPS service is enabled and running by
default and no further actions are needed to enable it. The HTTP
service can be disabled with configTOOL. Inside the Node tree pane, expand theservices tab, and
then expand tab the network tab. Click the http_server tab, and then
click the Enabled to uncheck it.
Unauthorized information access
+------------------------------
There is no workaround for this vulnerability. In
the following examples it is assumed that the operator console has IP
address 192.0.2.1. The 192.0.2.1 address must be changed to match the
IP address used by the designated operator console. The following
code must be entered on the console. Please refer to section 2.4 in
the user guide at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/physical_security/cnbm/User/guide/CNBM__UG.pdf
for information on how to connect to the serial port using
hyper-terminal.
# The following rule establishes a default policy for INPUT rule chain.
# The default policy is to drop all packets unless they are explicitly
# permitted by a rule in the INPUT chain
iptables -P INPUT DROP
# This rule will allow all traffic from operator console with
# IP address of 192.0.2.1 to the Cisco NBM
#
# Change 192.0.2.1 to match IP address used by your operators console.
iptables -I INPUT 1 --source 192.0.2.1 -j ACCEPT
# Repeat the previous command if you have more than one operator console.
# Increment the number after the "INPUT" keyword for each console you
# are adding.
#
# This command will allow second operator console with IP address
# of 192.0.2.2 to access the Cisco NBM
iptables -I INPUT 2 --source 192.0.2.2 -j ACCEPT
When applying rules form the above example care must be taken to
allow access to ports or protocols that are used by sensors and other
devices deployed in the system that are monitored and controlled by
the Cisco Network Building Mediator. Failure to do so will break
connectivity to these sensors and devices.
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-20100526-mediator.shtml

iptables -I INPUT 1 --source 192.0.2.1 -j ACCEPT
# Repeat the previous command if you have more than one operator console.
# Increment the number after the "INPUT" keyword for each console you
# are adding.
#
# This command will allow second operator console with IP address
# of 192.0.2.2 to access the Cisco NBM
iptables -I INPUT 2 --source 192.0.2.2 -j ACCEPT
When applying rules form the above example care must be taken to
allow access to ports or protocols that are used by sensors and other
devices deployed in the system that are monitored and controlled by
the Cisco Network Building Mediator. Failure to do so will break
connectivity to these sensors and devices.
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:

VAR-201005-0902 | CVE-2010-0599 | Cisco Network Building Mediator products contain multiple vulnerabilities |
CVSS V2: 9.3 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Cisco Mediator Framework 1.5.1 before 1.5.1.build.14-eng, 2.2 before 2.2.1.dev.1, and 3.0 before 3.0.9.release.1 on the Cisco Network Building Mediator NBM-2400 and NBM-4800 and the Richards-Zeta Mediator 2500 does not encrypt XML RPC sessions from operator workstations, which allows remote attackers to discover Administrator credentials by sniffing the network, aka Bug ID CSCtb83505. Cisco Network Building Mediator (NBM) products are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to gain control of a vulnerable device or to cause a denial of service. The problem is Bug ID : CSCtb83505 It is a problem.Intercepted by a third party Administrator Authentication information may be overlooked. The Cisco Network Building Mediator is a smart, interconnected building solution that intelligently interconnects and operates heating, ventilation and cooling systems (HVAC), lighting, power, security, and renewable energy systems over IP networks. There are several security vulnerabilities in Cisco Network Building Mediator, as follows: - Default Authentication Credentials (CVE-2010-0595): Multiple predefined users on the device, including administrator user accounts using default authentication information, any network access device Users can log in to the control system as an administrator.-Privilege Escalation (CVE-2010-0596, CVE-2010-0597): Vulnerability allows unauthorized users to read and modify device configurations, malicious users must be able to successfully authenticate, but do not require administrator privileges Or modify the device configuration if you know the administrator to verify the credentials. Both vulnerabilities need to be attacked via HTTP or HTTPS transport protocol. In addition, Cisco bug ID CSCtb83618 (CVE-2010-0597) vulnerability can be used for heavy-duty devices, continuous exploitation of vulnerabilities Can lead to denial of service attacks. CVE-2010-0598 related vulnerabilities allow malicious users to intercept HTTP session access The administrator verifies the credentials. CVE-2010-0599 related vulnerabilities allow malicious users to intercept XML RPC session access administrator authentication credentials. - Unauthorized Information Access (CVE-2010-0600): Malicious users can read system configuration files, configuration files Contains user account information, including passwords. Attackers can perform attacks and read configuration files via XML RPC or XML RCP over the HTTPS protocol.
An attacker can exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information that may lead to further attacks and possibly a full compromise of the affected device.
This issue is tracked by Cisco Bug ID CSCtb83618. These vulnerabilities also affect the legacy
Richards-Zeta Mediator products. This security advisory outlines
details of the following vulnerabilities:
* Default credentials
* Privilege escalation
* Unauthorized information interception
* Unauthorized information access
Cisco has released free software updates that address these
vulnerabilities. Workarounds that mitigate some of the listed
vulnerabilities are available. After a successful login, the
device will display the version of Mediator Framework running on the
device. This ability
enables the Cisco Network Building Mediator to perform any-to-any
protocol translation and to provide information to the end user in a
uniform presentation. These vulnerabilities are independent of each other.
Default credentials
+------------------
Default credentials are assigned for several predefined user accounts
on the device including the administrative user account.
* CSCtb83495 ( registered customers only) has been assigned the CVE
identifier CVE-2010-0595.
* CSCtb83607 ( registered customers only) (registered customers
only) has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2010-0596.
This vulnerability could enable any user to read and modify
device configuration.
* CSCtb83618 ( registered customers only) has been assigned the CVE
identifier CVE-2010-0597. Additionally, this
vulnerability can be exploited to reload the affected device. A malicious user
able to intercept the sessions could learn any credentials used
during intercepted sessions (for administrators and
non-administrators alike) and could subsequently take full control of
the device.
* CSCtb83631 ( registered customers only) has been assigned CVE
identifier CVE-2010-0598.
* CSCtb83505 ( registered customers only) has been assigned CVE
identifier CVE-2010-0599.
* CSCtb83512 ( registered customers only) has been assigned CVE
identifier CVE-2010-0600.

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.
Each row of the software table below names a Mediator Framework
software release. If a given software release 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. Cisco recommends
upgrading to the latest available release where possible. All
vulnerabilities are fixed in Mediator Framework release 3.1.1 and
above. Mediator Framework release 3.1.1 is the recommended migration
path for all Mediator Framework releases.
Vulnerabilities do not affect Mediator Operating Environment.
To obtain fixed 1.5.1 and 2.2 Mediator Framework software and
configTOOL version 3.1.0b1 contact Cisco TAC.
Privilege escalation
+-------------------
There are no workarounds for these vulnerabilities.
Unauthorized information interception
+------------------------------------
The following workaround is applicable only to the vulnerability
related to HTTP protocol. There is no workaround for the
vulnerability that affects XML RPC service. The HTTPS service is enabled and running by
default and no further actions are needed to enable it. The HTTP
service can be disabled with configTOOL. Inside the Node tree pane, expand theservices tab, and
then expand tab the network tab. Click the http_server tab, and then
click the Enabled to uncheck it.
Unauthorized information access
+------------------------------
There is no workaround for this vulnerability. In
the following examples it is assumed that the operator console has IP
address 192.0.2.1. The 192.0.2.1 address must be changed to match the
IP address used by the designated operator console. The following
code must be entered on the console. Please refer to section 2.4 in
the user guide at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/physical_security/cnbm/User/guide/CNBM__UG.pdf
for information on how to connect to the serial port using
hyper-terminal.
# The following rule establishes a default policy for INPUT rule chain.
# The default policy is to drop all packets unless they are explicitly
# permitted by a rule in the INPUT chain
iptables -P INPUT DROP
# This rule will allow all traffic from operator console with
# IP address of 192.0.2.1 to the Cisco NBM
#
# Change 192.0.2.1 to match IP address used by your operators console.
iptables -I INPUT 1 --source 192.0.2.1 -j ACCEPT
# Repeat the previous command if you have more than one operator console.
# Increment the number after the "INPUT" keyword for each console you
# are adding.
#
# This command will allow second operator console with IP address
# of 192.0.2.2 to access the Cisco NBM
iptables -I INPUT 2 --source 192.0.2.2 -j ACCEPT
When applying rules form the above example care must be taken to
allow access to ports or protocols that are used by sensors and other
devices deployed in the system that are monitored and controlled by
the Cisco Network Building Mediator. Failure to do so will break
connectivity to these sensors and devices.
Additional mitigation techniques that can be deployed on Cisco
devices within the network are available in the Cisco Applied

Impact
======
Successful exploitation of any of these vulnerabilities could result
in a malicious user taking complete control over an affected device.
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.
Each row of the software table below names a Mediator Framework
software release. If a given software release 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. Cisco recommends
upgrading to the latest available release where possible. All
vulnerabilities are fixed in Mediator Framework release 3.1.1 and
above. Mediator Framework release 3.1.1 is the recommended migration
path for all Mediator Framework releases.
Vulnerabilities do not affect Mediator Operating Environment.
To obtain fixed 1.5.1 and 2.2 Mediator Framework software and
configTOOL version 3.1.0b1 contact Cisco TAC.
Privilege escalation
+-------------------
There are no workarounds for these vulnerabilities.
Unauthorized information interception
+------------------------------------
The following workaround is applicable only to the vulnerability
related to HTTP protocol. There is no workaround for the
vulnerability that affects XML RPC service. The HTTPS service is enabled and running by
default and no further actions are needed to enable it. The HTTP
service can be disabled with configTOOL. Inside the Node tree pane, expand theservices tab, and
then expand tab the network tab. Click the http_server tab, and then
click the Enabled to uncheck it.
Unauthorized information access
+------------------------------
There is no workaround for this vulnerability. In
the following examples it is assumed that the operator console has IP
address 192.0.2.1. The 192.0.2.1 address must be changed to match the
IP address used by the designated operator console. The following
code must be entered on the console. Please refer to section 2.4 in
the user guide at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/physical_security/cnbm/User/guide/CNBM__UG.pdf
for information on how to connect to the serial port using
hyper-terminal.
# The following rule establishes a default policy for INPUT rule chain.
# The default policy is to drop all packets unless they are explicitly
# permitted by a rule in the INPUT chain
iptables -P INPUT DROP
# This rule will allow all traffic from operator console with
# IP address of 192.0.2.1 to the Cisco NBM
#
# Change 192.0.2.1 to match IP address used by your operators console.
iptables -I INPUT 1 --source 192.0.2.1 -j ACCEPT
# Repeat the previous command if you have more than one operator console.
# Increment the number after the "INPUT" keyword for each console you
# are adding.
#
# This command will allow second operator console with IP address
# of 192.0.2.2 to access the Cisco NBM
iptables -I INPUT 2 --source 192.0.2.2 -j ACCEPT
When applying rules form the above example care must be taken to
allow access to ports or protocols that are used by sensors and other
devices deployed in the system that are monitored and controlled by
the Cisco Network Building Mediator. Failure to do so will break
connectivity to these sensors and devices.
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:

VAR-201005-0438 | No CVE | U.S.Robotics USR5463 firmware '/cgi-bin/setup_ddns.exe' cross-site request forgery vulnerability |
CVSS V2: - CVSS V3: - Severity: - |
U.S.Robotics USR5463 is a popular router device in foreign countries. The application device does not properly perform any legal verification of the request, allowing the user to perform partial management operations through HTTP requests. If you build malicious parameters passed to the /cgi-bin/setup_ddns.exe script and entice the user to click, you can change the device configuration and more. U.S.Robotics USR5463 firmware is prone to a cross-site request-forgery vulnerability.
Successful exploits may allow attackers to perform unauthorized actions on the affected device in the context of a logged-in user. This may allow attackers to gain access to or modify sensitive information and perform HTML-injection attacks.
U.S.Robotics USR5463 firmware versions 0.01 through 0.06 are vulnerable. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

VAR-201005-0198 | CVE-2010-2025 |
Cisco Scientific Atlanta WebSTAR DPC2100R2 Debug Demodulator Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerability
Related entries in the VARIoT exploits database: VAR-E-201005-0342 |
CVSS V2: 6.8 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the web interface on the Cisco Scientific Atlanta WebSTAR DPC2100R2 cable modem with firmware 2.0.2r1256-060303 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that (1) reset the modem, (2) erase the firmware, (3) change the administrative password, (4) install modified firmware, or (5) change the access level, as demonstrated by a request to goform/_aslvl. The Cisco DPC2100R2 is a cable TV CABLE MODEM. - Cross-site request forgery attacks. Multiple functions provided by the WEB interface cannot establish a session correctly and restrict access by authorized users. - The Cisco DPC2100R2 device has access control mechanisms of 0-2 (some devices are 0-3). Due to the lack of proper checking for some operations that require authorization, the attacker submits a specially constructed POST request without any verification reset. Equipment and installation of new software. Other attacks are also possible.
Firmware versions prior to 2.0.2.r1256-100324as are vulnerable. \xa0Testing was
performed on a DPC2100R2 modem, with firmware v2.0.2r1256-060303.
1. \xa0An attacker may create a
malicious website that, when visited by a victim, updates these settings on the
victim's modem on the victim's behalf without their authorization or need for
any additional user interaction. \xa0This issue has been assigned CVE-2010-2025.
2. Insufficient authentication. The modem's access control scheme, which has
levels numbered from 0-2 (or 0-3 on some other models), is not properly checked
before performing operations that should require authentication, including
resetting the modem and installing new firmware. The modem requires the proper
access level to access web interface pages containing forms that allow a user
to perform these actions, but does not properly authenticate the pages that
actually carry out these actions. By sending a POST request directly to these
pages, these actions may be performed without any authentication. Attacks may
be performed by an attacker on the local network or by leveraging the CSRF
vulnerability. This issue has been assigned CVE-2010-2026.
==Identifying Vulnerable Installations==
Most home installations of this modem will feature a web interface that is
accessible at "http://192.168.100.1". \xa0The following proof-of-concept code may
be used to test for vulnerability. \xa0It leverages the CSRF vulnerability to
change the access level of your modem to the most restrictive settings (a
harmless action). \xa0If your modem is vulnerable, then you will be presented with
a message stating that your settings have been successfully updated. \xa0If you
are greeted with a page stating there was a "Password confirmation error", then
your modem password has been changed from the default but you are still
vulnerable. \xa0If you are greeted with an HTTP authentication form or other
message, then your model is not vulnerable.

VAR-201005-0334 | CVE-2010-1513 | Ziproxy of src/image.c Integer overflow vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 6.8 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Multiple integer overflows in src/image.c in Ziproxy before 3.0.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a large JPG image, related to the jpg2bitmap function or (2) a large PNG image, related to the png2bitmap function, leading to heap-based buffer overflows. Ziproxy is a forwarded, non-cached, compressed HTTP proxy server. Ziproxy can compress images into low quality JPEG files or JPEG 2000 and compress (gzip or) HTML and other text-like data. Ziproxy has an integer overflow, and a remote attacker can exploit the vulnerability to execute arbitrary instructions with application privileges. Ziproxy is prone to multiple integer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to properly validate user-supplied data. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
Ziproxy 3.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. ======================================================================

VAR-201005-0619 | No CVE | Rumba FTP Client 'FTPSFtp.dll' ActiveX Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: - CVSS V3: - Severity: - |
Rumba FTP client ActiveX control is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data.
Successful exploits may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of a user running the affected application. Failed attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
The issue affects Rumba FTP client version 4.2.0.0.
VAR-201005-0429 | No CVE | IIS source code leak and file type parsing error |
CVSS V2: - CVSS V3: - Severity: - |
Vulnerability Introduction: IIS is a webserver launched by Microsoft. It is widely used. It supports ASP/asp.net and supports other languages such as PHP. However, 80sec found that there is a serious security problem in the higher version of IIS. According to the default configuration provided on the network, the server may leak the server-side script source code, or it may mistakenly use any type of file in PHP mode. Parsing, so that a malicious attacker may compromise the IIS server that supports PHP, especially the virtual host user may be affected. Vulnerability Analysis: IIS supports running PHP in CGI mode, but in this mode, IIS processing requests may cause some of the same problems as the nginx security vulnerabilities mentioned in 80sec. Any user can remotely use any type of file as PHP. The way to parse, you can see the way PHP supports in Phpinfo, which may be the problem if it is CGI/FAST-CGI.
VAR-201005-0434 | No CVE | U.S.Robotics USR5463 firmware 'setup_ddns.exe' HTML injection vulnerability |
CVSS V2: - CVSS V3: - Severity: - |
U.S.Robotics USR5463 is a popular router device in foreign countries. The 'setup_ddns.exe' script included in USRobotics USR5463 firmware does not handle user input correctly. Remote attackers can exploit vulnerabilities for cross-site scripting attacks. After enticing the target users to view, they can obtain sensitive information such as COOKIE and hijack the target user session. U.S.Robotics USR5463 firmware is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.
Attacker-supplied HTML or JavaScript code could run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.
U.S.Robotics firmware USR5463 0.06 is vulnerable
VAR-201005-0437 | No CVE | Nginx file type error parsing vulnerability |
CVSS V2: - CVSS V3: - Severity: - |
Nginx is a high-performance web server that is widely used. It is not only often used as a reverse proxy, but also very well supported for PHP. 80sec found that there is a more serious security problem. By default, any type of file may be parsed in PHP by server error. The attacker can execute arbitrary PHP code with WEB permission. Nginx supports php running by default in cgi mode, such as location ~ \\.php$ {root html; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /scripts$fastcgi_script_name;include fastcgi_params; The } method supports the parsing of php. When the location selects the request, it uses the URI environment variable to select. The key variable SCRIPT_FILENAME passed to the backend Fastcgi is determined by the $fastcgi_script_name generated by nginx, and the analysis can be seen by $fastcgi_script_name It is directly controlled by the URI environment variable, here is the point where the problem occurs. In order to better support the extraction of PATH_INFO, the cgi.fix_pathinfo option exists in the PHP configuration options, the purpose is to extract the real script name from SCRIPT_FILENAME. So suppose there is a http://www.80sec.com/80sec.jpg, you can visit http://www.80sec.com/80sec.jpg/80sec.php in the following way. nginx is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.
Exploiting this issue may allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information that could aid in further attacks.
The issue affects nginx 0.6.36 and prior
