Team SHATTER Security Advisory
Buffer Overflow in Resource Manager of Oracle Database - Plan name parameter
August 27, 2009
Risk Level:
Medium
Affected versions:
Oracle Database Server version 9iR1 and 9iR2
Remote exploitable:
Yes (Authentication to Database Server is needed)
Credits:
This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Esteban Mart\xednez Fay\xf3 of Application Security Inc.
Details:
The plan name parameter used in ALTER SYSTEM SET RESOURCE_MANAGER_PLAN statement and in SYS.DBMS_RESOURCE_MANAGER.SWITCH_PLAN procedure is vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks. When passing an overly long plan name string a buffer can be overflowed.
Impact:
To exploit this vulnerability it is required to have ALTER SYSTEM privilege. Exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code. It can also be exploited to cause DoS (Denial of service) killing the Oracle server process.
Vendor Status:
Vendor was contacted and a patch was released.
Workaround:
Restrict ALTER SYSTEM privilege.
CVE:
CVE-2009-0979

Secunia is pleased to announce the release of the annual Secunia
report for 2008.
Some have unknown impacts, others can be exploited by malicious users
to conduct SQL injection attacks or disclose sensitive information,
and by malicious people compromise a vulnerable system.
1) A format string error exists within the Oracle Process Manager and
Notification (opmn) daemon, which can be exploited to execute
arbitrary code via a specially crafted POST request to port
6000/TCP.
2) Input passed to the "DBMS_AQIN" package is not properly sanitised
before being used. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.
3) An error in the Application Express component included in Oracle
Database can be exploited by unprivileged database users to disclose
APEX password hashes in "LOWS_030000.WWV_FLOW_USER".
The remaining vulnerabilities are caused due to unspecified errors.
No more information is currently available.

Secunia is pleased to announce the release of the annual Secunia
report for 2008.
Some have unknown impacts, others can be exploited by malicious users
to conduct SQL injection attacks or disclose sensitive information,
and by malicious people compromise a vulnerable system.
1) A format string error exists within the Oracle Process Manager and
Notification (opmn) daemon, which can be exploited to execute
arbitrary code via a specially crafted POST request to port
6000/TCP.
2) Input passed to the "DBMS_AQIN" package is not properly sanitised
before being used. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.
3) An error in the Application Express component included in Oracle
Database can be exploited by unprivileged database users to disclose
APEX password hashes in "LOWS_030000.WWV_FLOW_USER".
The remaining vulnerabilities are caused due to unspecified errors.
No more information is currently available.

Team SHATTER Security Advisory
Oracle Database SQL Injection vulnerability in LT.ROLLBACKWORKSPACE
May 4, 2009
Risk Level:
High
Affected versions:
Oracle Database Server version 10gR1
Remote exploitable:
Yes (Authentication to Database Server is needed)
Credits:
This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Esteban Mart\xednez Fay\xf3 of Application Security Inc.
Details:
Oracle Database provides the "LT" PL/SQL package that is part of the Oracle Workspace Manager component (DBMS_WM public synonym). This package has a SQL Injection instance in ROLLBACKWORKSPACE procedure. Dependening on what Oracle Workspace Manager release is installed, this PL/SQL package is owned by SYS (on older releases) or by WMSYS (on newer releases). A malicious user can call the vulnerable procedure of this package with specially crafted parameters and execute SQL statements with the elevated privileges of the package owner, depending on the system configuration it can be SYS or WMSYS.
Impact:
By default [WM]SYS.LT has EXECUTE permission to PUBLIC so any Oracle Database user can exploit this vulnerability. Exploitation of this vulnerability allows an attacker to execute SQL commands with SYS or WMSYS privileges.
Vendor Status:
Vendor was contacted and a patch was released.
Workaround:
Restrict access to the [WM]SYS.LT package.
CVE:
CVE-2009-0978

4) Description of Vulnerability
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in the Oracle BEA
WebLogic Server plug-ins for web servers, which can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The Oracle BEA WebLogic Server can be configured to receive requests
via an Apache, Sun, or IIS web server. In this case, a plug-in is
installed in the Internet-facing web server that passes the request to
a WebLogic server. An integer overflow when parsing HTTP requests can
be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

Affected Products
=================
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
The following is a list of the products affected by each vulnerability
as described in detail within this advisory.
Note: The Override Account Disabled feature was introduced in Cisco
ASA software version 7.1(1). This feature is
disabled by default. Only Cisco ASA software versions 8.0 and 8.1 are
affected by this vulnerability. Cisco ASA and
Cisco PIX security appliances running versions 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, and
8.1 are affected when configured for any of the following features:
* SSL VPNs
* ASDM Administrative Access
* Telnet Access
* SSH Access
* Cisco Tunneling Control Protocol (cTCP) for Remote Access VPNs
* Virtual Telnet
* Virtual HTTP
* Transport Layer Security (TLS) Proxy for Encrypted Voice
Inspection
* Cut-Through Proxy for Network Access
* TCP Intercept
Crafted H.323 Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------------
Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX security appliances may experience a device
reload that can be triggered by a series of crafted H.323 packets, when
H.323 inspection is enabled. H.323 inspection is enabled by default.
Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX software versions 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, and 8.1
are affected by this vulnerability. SQL*Net inspection is enabled by default.
Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX software versions 7.2, 8.0, and 8.1 are affected
by this vulnerability. Cisco ASA and
Cisco PIX software versions 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, and 8.0 are affected by this
vulnerability.
Determination of Software Versions
+---------------------------------
The "show version" command-line interface (CLI) command can be used to
determine whether a vulnerable version of the Cisco PIX or Cisco ASA
software is running. The following example shows a Cisco ASA Adaptive
Security Appliance that runs software version 8.0(4):
ASA#show version
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.0(4)
Device Manager Version 6.0(1)
<output truncated>
The following example shows a Cisco PIX security appliance that runs
software version 8.0(4):
PIX#show version
Cisco PIX Security Appliance Software Version 8.0(4)
Device Manager Version 5.2(3)
<output truncated>
Customers who use Cisco ASDM to manage their devices can find the
software version displayed in the table in the login window or in the
upper left corner of the ASDM window.
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
The Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) for Cisco Catalyst 6500
Series switches and Cisco 7600 Series routers and Cisco VPN 3000 Series
Concentrators are not affected by any of these vulnerabilities. No other Cisco products are currently known to be
affected by these vulnerabilities.
Details
=======
This Security Advisory describes multiple distinct vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities are independent of each other. However, the user must provide the correct
credentials in order to login to the VPN.
Note: The override account feature was introduced in Cisco ASA software
version 7.1(1).
The override account feature is enabled with the
"override-account-disable" command in "tunnel-group general-attributes"
configuration mode, as shown in the following example. The following
example allows overriding the "account-disabled" indicator from the AAA
server for the WebVPN tunnel group "testgroup":
hostname(config)#tunnel-group testgroup type webvpn
hostname(config)#tunnel-group testgroup general-attributes
hostname(config-tunnel-general)#override-account-disable
Note: The override account feature is disabled by default.
Crafted HTTP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+------------------------------------
A crafted SSL or HTTP packet may cause a DoS condition on a Cisco
ASA device that is configured to terminate SSL VPN connections. This
vulnerability can also be triggered to any interface where ASDM access
is enabled. A successful attack may result in a reload of the device. A
TCP three-way handshake is not needed to exploit this vulnerability.
Crafted TCP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-----------------------------------
A crafted TCP packet may cause a memory leak on a Cisco ASA or Cisco PIX
device. A successful attack may result in a sustained DoS condition.
A Cisco ASA device configured for any of the following features is
affected:
* SSL VPNs
* ASDM Administrative Access
* Telnet Access
* SSH Access
* cTCP for Remote Access VPNs
* Virtual Telnet
* Virtual HTTP
* TLS Proxy for Encrypted Voice Inspection
* Cut-Through Proxy for Network Access
* TCP Intercept
Note: This vulnerability may be triggered when crafted packets are sent
to any TCP based service that terminates on the affected device. The
vulnerability may also be triggered via transient traffic only if the
TCP intercept features has been enabled. A TCP three-way handshake is
not needed to exploit this vulnerability.
Crafted H.323 Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------------
A crafted H.323 packet may cause a DoS condition on a Cisco ASA device
that is configured with H.323 inspection. H.323 inspection is enabled by
default. A successful attack may result in a reload of the device. A TCP
three-way handshake is not needed to exploit this vulnerability. A series of SQL*Net packets
may cause a denial of service condition on a Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX
device that is configured with SQL*Net inspection. SQL*Net inspection is
enabled by default. A successful attack may result in a reload of the
device.
The default port assignment for SQL*Net is TCP port 1521. This is the
value used by Oracle for SQL*Net. Please note the "class-map" command
can be used in the Cisco ASA or Cisco PIX to apply SQL*Net inspection
to a range of different port numbers. A TCP three-way handshake is
needed to exploit this vulnerability. The requirement of a TCP three way
handshake significantly reduces the possibility of exploitation using
packets with spoofed source addresses.
Access Control List Bypass Vulnerability
+---------------------------------------
Access lists have an implicit deny behavior that is applied to packets
that have not matched any of the permit or deny ACEs in an ACL and reach
the end of the ACL. This implicit deny is there by design, does not
require any configuration and can be understood as an implicit ACE that
denies all traffic reaching the end of the ACL. A vulnerability exists
in the Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX that may allow traffic to bypass the
implicit deny ACE.
Note: This behavior only impacts the implicit deny statement on any
ACL applied on the device. Access control lists with explicit deny
statements are not affected by this vulnerability. This vulnerability is
experienced in very rare occasions and extremely hard to reproduce.
You can trace the lifespan of a packet through the security appliance
to see whether the packet is operating correctly with the packet tracer
tool. The "packet-tracer" command provides detailed information about
the packets and how they are processed by the security appliance. If a
command from the configuration did not cause the packet to drop, the
"packet-tracer" command will provide information about the cause in an
easily readable manner. You can use this feature to see if the implicit
deny on an ACL is not taking effect. The following example shows that
the implicit deny is bypassed (result = ALLOW):
<output truncated>
...
Phase: 2
Type: ACCESS-LIST
Subtype:
Result: ALLOW
Config:
Implicit Rule

Impact
======
Successful exploitation of the VPN Authentication Bypass when Account
Override Feature is Used vulnerability may allow an attacker to
successfully connect to the Cisco ASA via remote access IPSec or
SSL-based VPN. Repeated exploitation could result in
a sustained DoS condition. Successful exploitation of the ACL bypass
vulnerability may allow an attacker to access resources that should be
protected by the Cisco ASA.

Workarounds
===========
This Security Advisory describes multiple distinct vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities and their respective workarounds are independent
of each other.
VPN Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
+--------------------------------------
The override account feature is enabled with the
"override-account-disable" command in "tunnel-group general-attributes"
configuration mode. As a workaround, disable this feature using the "no
override-account-disable" command.
Crafted HTTP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+------------------------------------
Devices configured for SSL VPN (clientless or client-based) or accepting
ASDM management connections are vulnerable.
Note: IPSec clients are not vulnerable to this vulnerability.
If SSL VPN (clientless or client-based) is not used, administrators
should make sure that ASDM connections are only allowed from trusted
hosts.
To identify the IP addresses from which the security appliance
accepts HTTPS connections for ASDM, configure the "http" command for
each trusted host address or subnet. The following example, shows
how a trusted host with IP address 192.168.1.100 is added to the
configuration:
hostname(config)# http 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.255
Crafted TCP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-----------------------------------
There are no workarounds for this vulnerability.
Crafted H.323 Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------------
H.323 inspection should be disabled if it is not needed. Temporarily
disabling the feature will mitigate this vulnerability. H.323 inspection
can be disabled with the command "no inspect h323".
SQL*Net Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------
SQL*Net inspection should be disabled if it is not needed. Temporarily
disabling the feature will mitigate this vulnerability. SQL*Net
inspection can be disabled with the command "no inspect sqlnet".
Access Control List (ACL) Bypass Vulnerability
+---------------------------------------------
As a workaround, remove the "access-group" line applied on the interface
where the ACL is configured and re-apply it. For example:
ASA(config)#no access-group acl-inside in interface inside
ASA(config)#access-group acl-inside in interface inside
In the previous example the access group called "acl-inside" is removed
and reapplied to the inside interface. Alternatively, you can add an
explicit "deny ip any any" line in the bottom of the ACL applied on that
interface. For example:
ASA(config)#access-list 100 deny ip any any
In the previous example, an explicit deny for all IP traffic is added at
the end of "access-list 100".
Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the
network are available in the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin companion
document for this advisory, which is available at the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20090408-asa.shtml.

Affected Products
=================
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
The following is a list of the products affected by each vulnerability
as described in detail within this advisory.
Note: The Override Account Disabled feature was introduced in Cisco
ASA software version 7.1(1). This feature is
disabled by default. Only Cisco ASA software versions 8.0 and 8.1 are
affected by this vulnerability. H.323 inspection is enabled by default.
Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX software versions 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, and 8.1
are affected by this vulnerability. SQL*Net inspection is enabled by default.
Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX software versions 7.2, 8.0, and 8.1 are affected
by this vulnerability. Cisco ASA and
Cisco PIX software versions 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, and 8.0 are affected by this
vulnerability.
Determination of Software Versions
+---------------------------------
The "show version" command-line interface (CLI) command can be used to
determine whether a vulnerable version of the Cisco PIX or Cisco ASA
software is running. The following example shows a Cisco ASA Adaptive
Security Appliance that runs software version 8.0(4):
ASA#show version
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.0(4)
Device Manager Version 6.0(1)
<output truncated>
The following example shows a Cisco PIX security appliance that runs
software version 8.0(4):
PIX#show version
Cisco PIX Security Appliance Software Version 8.0(4)
Device Manager Version 5.2(3)
<output truncated>
Customers who use Cisco ASDM to manage their devices can find the
software version displayed in the table in the login window or in the
upper left corner of the ASDM window.
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
The Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) for Cisco Catalyst 6500
Series switches and Cisco 7600 Series routers and Cisco VPN 3000 Series
Concentrators are not affected by any of these vulnerabilities. No other Cisco products are currently known to be
affected by these vulnerabilities.
Details
=======
This Security Advisory describes multiple distinct vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities are independent of each other. However, the user must provide the correct
credentials in order to login to the VPN.
Note: The override account feature was introduced in Cisco ASA software
version 7.1(1).
The override account feature is enabled with the
"override-account-disable" command in "tunnel-group general-attributes"
configuration mode, as shown in the following example. The following
example allows overriding the "account-disabled" indicator from the AAA
server for the WebVPN tunnel group "testgroup":
hostname(config)#tunnel-group testgroup type webvpn
hostname(config)#tunnel-group testgroup general-attributes
hostname(config-tunnel-general)#override-account-disable
Note: The override account feature is disabled by default. This
vulnerability can also be triggered to any interface where ASDM access
is enabled. A successful attack may result in a reload of the device. A
TCP three-way handshake is not needed to exploit this vulnerability.
Crafted TCP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-----------------------------------
A crafted TCP packet may cause a memory leak on a Cisco ASA or Cisco PIX
device. A successful attack may result in a sustained DoS condition. The
vulnerability may also be triggered via transient traffic only if the
TCP intercept features has been enabled. A TCP three-way handshake is
not needed to exploit this vulnerability. H.323 inspection is enabled by
default. A successful attack may result in a reload of the device. A TCP
three-way handshake is not needed to exploit this vulnerability. SQL*Net inspection is
enabled by default. A successful attack may result in a reload of the
device.
The default port assignment for SQL*Net is TCP port 1521. This is the
value used by Oracle for SQL*Net. Please note the "class-map" command
can be used in the Cisco ASA or Cisco PIX to apply SQL*Net inspection
to a range of different port numbers. A TCP three-way handshake is
needed to exploit this vulnerability. The requirement of a TCP three way
handshake significantly reduces the possibility of exploitation using
packets with spoofed source addresses.
Access Control List Bypass Vulnerability
+---------------------------------------
Access lists have an implicit deny behavior that is applied to packets
that have not matched any of the permit or deny ACEs in an ACL and reach
the end of the ACL. This implicit deny is there by design, does not
require any configuration and can be understood as an implicit ACE that
denies all traffic reaching the end of the ACL. A vulnerability exists
in the Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX that may allow traffic to bypass the
implicit deny ACE.
Note: This behavior only impacts the implicit deny statement on any
ACL applied on the device. Access control lists with explicit deny
statements are not affected by this vulnerability. This vulnerability is
experienced in very rare occasions and extremely hard to reproduce.
You can trace the lifespan of a packet through the security appliance
to see whether the packet is operating correctly with the packet tracer
tool. The "packet-tracer" command provides detailed information about
the packets and how they are processed by the security appliance. If a
command from the configuration did not cause the packet to drop, the
"packet-tracer" command will provide information about the cause in an
easily readable manner. You can use this feature to see if the implicit
deny on an ACL is not taking effect. The following example shows that
the implicit deny is bypassed (result = ALLOW):

Workarounds
===========
This Security Advisory describes multiple distinct vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities and their respective workarounds are independent
of each other.
VPN Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
+--------------------------------------
The override account feature is enabled with the
"override-account-disable" command in "tunnel-group general-attributes"
configuration mode. As a workaround, disable this feature using the "no
override-account-disable" command.
Note: IPSec clients are not vulnerable to this vulnerability.
If SSL VPN (clientless or client-based) is not used, administrators
should make sure that ASDM connections are only allowed from trusted
hosts.
To identify the IP addresses from which the security appliance
accepts HTTPS connections for ASDM, configure the "http" command for
each trusted host address or subnet. The following example, shows
how a trusted host with IP address 192.168.1.100 is added to the
configuration:
hostname(config)# http 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.255
Crafted TCP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-----------------------------------
There are no workarounds for this vulnerability.
Crafted H.323 Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------------
H.323 inspection should be disabled if it is not needed. Temporarily
disabling the feature will mitigate this vulnerability. H.323 inspection
can be disabled with the command "no inspect h323".
SQL*Net Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------
SQL*Net inspection should be disabled if it is not needed. Temporarily
disabling the feature will mitigate this vulnerability. SQL*Net
inspection can be disabled with the command "no inspect sqlnet".
Access Control List (ACL) Bypass Vulnerability
+---------------------------------------------
As a workaround, remove the "access-group" line applied on the interface
where the ACL is configured and re-apply it. For example:
ASA(config)#no access-group acl-inside in interface inside
ASA(config)#access-group acl-inside in interface inside
In the previous example the access group called "acl-inside" is removed
and reapplied to the inside interface. Alternatively, you can add an
explicit "deny ip any any" line in the bottom of the ACL applied on that
interface. For example:
ASA(config)#access-list 100 deny ip any any
In the previous example, an explicit deny for all IP traffic is added at
the end of "access-list 100".
Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the
network are available in the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin companion
document for this advisory, which is available at the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20090408-asa.shtml.

+--------------------------------
The Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) for Cisco Catalyst 6500
Series switches and Cisco 7600 Series routers and Cisco VPN 3000 Series
Concentrators are not affected by any of these vulnerabilities. No other Cisco products are currently known to be
affected by these vulnerabilities.
Details
=======
This Security Advisory describes multiple distinct vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities are independent of each other. However, the user must provide the correct
credentials in order to login to the VPN.
Note: The override account feature was introduced in Cisco ASA software
version 7.1(1).
The override account feature is enabled with the
"override-account-disable" command in "tunnel-group general-attributes"
configuration mode, as shown in the following example. The following
example allows overriding the "account-disabled" indicator from the AAA
server for the WebVPN tunnel group "testgroup":
hostname(config)#tunnel-group testgroup type webvpn
hostname(config)#tunnel-group testgroup general-attributes
hostname(config-tunnel-general)#override-account-disable
Note: The override account feature is disabled by default.
Crafted HTTP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+------------------------------------
A crafted SSL or HTTP packet may cause a DoS condition on a Cisco
ASA device that is configured to terminate SSL VPN connections. This
vulnerability can also be triggered to any interface where ASDM access
is enabled. A successful attack may result in a reload of the device. A
TCP three-way handshake is not needed to exploit this vulnerability. A successful attack may result in a sustained DoS condition.
A Cisco ASA device configured for any of the following features is
affected:
* SSL VPNs
* ASDM Administrative Access
* Telnet Access
* SSH Access
* cTCP for Remote Access VPNs
* Virtual Telnet
* Virtual HTTP
* TLS Proxy for Encrypted Voice Inspection
* Cut-Through Proxy for Network Access
* TCP Intercept
Note: This vulnerability may be triggered when crafted packets are sent
to any TCP based service that terminates on the affected device. The
vulnerability may also be triggered via transient traffic only if the
TCP intercept features has been enabled. A TCP three-way handshake is
not needed to exploit this vulnerability.
Crafted H.323 Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------------
A crafted H.323 packet may cause a DoS condition on a Cisco ASA device
that is configured with H.323 inspection. H.323 inspection is enabled by
default. A successful attack may result in a reload of the device. A TCP
three-way handshake is not needed to exploit this vulnerability. SQL*Net inspection is
enabled by default. A successful attack may result in a reload of the
device.
The default port assignment for SQL*Net is TCP port 1521. This is the
value used by Oracle for SQL*Net. Please note the "class-map" command
can be used in the Cisco ASA or Cisco PIX to apply SQL*Net inspection
to a range of different port numbers. A TCP three-way handshake is
needed to exploit this vulnerability. The requirement of a TCP three way
handshake significantly reduces the possibility of exploitation using
packets with spoofed source addresses.
Access Control List Bypass Vulnerability
+---------------------------------------
Access lists have an implicit deny behavior that is applied to packets
that have not matched any of the permit or deny ACEs in an ACL and reach
the end of the ACL. This implicit deny is there by design, does not
require any configuration and can be understood as an implicit ACE that
denies all traffic reaching the end of the ACL. A vulnerability exists
in the Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX that may allow traffic to bypass the
implicit deny ACE.
Note: This behavior only impacts the implicit deny statement on any
ACL applied on the device. Access control lists with explicit deny
statements are not affected by this vulnerability. This vulnerability is
experienced in very rare occasions and extremely hard to reproduce.
You can trace the lifespan of a packet through the security appliance
to see whether the packet is operating correctly with the packet tracer
tool. The "packet-tracer" command provides detailed information about
the packets and how they are processed by the security appliance. If a
command from the configuration did not cause the packet to drop, the
"packet-tracer" command will provide information about the cause in an
easily readable manner. You can use this feature to see if the implicit
deny on an ACL is not taking effect. The following example shows that
the implicit deny is bypassed (result = ALLOW):

Impact
======
Successful exploitation of the VPN Authentication Bypass when Account
Override Feature is Used vulnerability may allow an attacker to
successfully connect to the Cisco ASA via remote access IPSec or
SSL-based VPN. Repeated exploitation could result in
a sustained DoS condition. Successful exploitation of the ACL bypass
vulnerability may allow an attacker to access resources that should be
protected by the Cisco ASA.

Workarounds
===========
This Security Advisory describes multiple distinct vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities and their respective workarounds are independent
of each other.
VPN Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
+--------------------------------------
The override account feature is enabled with the
"override-account-disable" command in "tunnel-group general-attributes"
configuration mode. As a workaround, disable this feature using the "no
override-account-disable" command.
Crafted HTTP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+------------------------------------
Devices configured for SSL VPN (clientless or client-based) or accepting
ASDM management connections are vulnerable.
Note: IPSec clients are not vulnerable to this vulnerability.
If SSL VPN (clientless or client-based) is not used, administrators
should make sure that ASDM connections are only allowed from trusted
hosts.
To identify the IP addresses from which the security appliance
accepts HTTPS connections for ASDM, configure the "http" command for
each trusted host address or subnet. The following example, shows
how a trusted host with IP address 192.168.1.100 is added to the
configuration:
hostname(config)# http 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.255
Crafted TCP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-----------------------------------
There are no workarounds for this vulnerability.
Crafted H.323 Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------------
H.323 inspection should be disabled if it is not needed. Temporarily
disabling the feature will mitigate this vulnerability. H.323 inspection
can be disabled with the command "no inspect h323".
SQL*Net Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------
SQL*Net inspection should be disabled if it is not needed. Temporarily
disabling the feature will mitigate this vulnerability. SQL*Net
inspection can be disabled with the command "no inspect sqlnet".
Access Control List (ACL) Bypass Vulnerability
+---------------------------------------------
As a workaround, remove the "access-group" line applied on the interface
where the ACL is configured and re-apply it. For example:
ASA(config)#no access-group acl-inside in interface inside
ASA(config)#access-group acl-inside in interface inside
In the previous example the access group called "acl-inside" is removed
and reapplied to the inside interface. Alternatively, you can add an
explicit "deny ip any any" line in the bottom of the ACL applied on that
interface. For example:
ASA(config)#access-list 100 deny ip any any
In the previous example, an explicit deny for all IP traffic is added at
the end of "access-list 100".
Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the
network are available in the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin companion
document for this advisory, which is available at the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20090408-asa.shtml.

Affected Products
=================
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
The following is a list of the products affected by each vulnerability
as described in detail within this advisory.
Note: The Override Account Disabled feature was introduced in Cisco
ASA software version 7.1(1). This feature is
disabled by default. Only Cisco ASA software versions 8.0 and 8.1 are
affected by this vulnerability. H.323 inspection is enabled by default.
Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX software versions 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, and 8.1
are affected by this vulnerability. SQL*Net inspection is enabled by default.
Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX software versions 7.2, 8.0, and 8.1 are affected
by this vulnerability. Cisco ASA and
Cisco PIX software versions 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, and 8.0 are affected by this
vulnerability.
Determination of Software Versions
+---------------------------------
The "show version" command-line interface (CLI) command can be used to
determine whether a vulnerable version of the Cisco PIX or Cisco ASA
software is running. The following example shows a Cisco ASA Adaptive
Security Appliance that runs software version 8.0(4):
ASA#show version
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.0(4)
Device Manager Version 6.0(1)
<output truncated>
The following example shows a Cisco PIX security appliance that runs
software version 8.0(4):
PIX#show version
Cisco PIX Security Appliance Software Version 8.0(4)
Device Manager Version 5.2(3)
<output truncated>
Customers who use Cisco ASDM to manage their devices can find the
software version displayed in the table in the login window or in the
upper left corner of the ASDM window.
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
The Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) for Cisco Catalyst 6500
Series switches and Cisco 7600 Series routers and Cisco VPN 3000 Series
Concentrators are not affected by any of these vulnerabilities. No other Cisco products are currently known to be
affected by these vulnerabilities.
Details
=======
This Security Advisory describes multiple distinct vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities are independent of each other. However, the user must provide the correct
credentials in order to login to the VPN.
Note: The override account feature was introduced in Cisco ASA software
version 7.1(1).
The override account feature is enabled with the
"override-account-disable" command in "tunnel-group general-attributes"
configuration mode, as shown in the following example. The following
example allows overriding the "account-disabled" indicator from the AAA
server for the WebVPN tunnel group "testgroup":
hostname(config)#tunnel-group testgroup type webvpn
hostname(config)#tunnel-group testgroup general-attributes
hostname(config-tunnel-general)#override-account-disable
Note: The override account feature is disabled by default.
Crafted HTTP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+------------------------------------
A crafted SSL or HTTP packet may cause a DoS condition on a Cisco
ASA device that is configured to terminate SSL VPN connections. This
vulnerability can also be triggered to any interface where ASDM access
is enabled. A successful attack may result in a reload of the device. A
TCP three-way handshake is not needed to exploit this vulnerability.
Crafted TCP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-----------------------------------
A crafted TCP packet may cause a memory leak on a Cisco ASA or Cisco PIX
device. A successful attack may result in a sustained DoS condition.
A Cisco ASA device configured for any of the following features is
affected:
* SSL VPNs
* ASDM Administrative Access
* Telnet Access
* SSH Access
* cTCP for Remote Access VPNs
* Virtual Telnet
* Virtual HTTP
* TLS Proxy for Encrypted Voice Inspection
* Cut-Through Proxy for Network Access
* TCP Intercept
Note: This vulnerability may be triggered when crafted packets are sent
to any TCP based service that terminates on the affected device. The
vulnerability may also be triggered via transient traffic only if the
TCP intercept features has been enabled. A TCP three-way handshake is
not needed to exploit this vulnerability. H.323 inspection is enabled by
default. A successful attack may result in a reload of the device. A TCP
three-way handshake is not needed to exploit this vulnerability. SQL*Net inspection is
enabled by default. A successful attack may result in a reload of the
device.
The default port assignment for SQL*Net is TCP port 1521. This is the
value used by Oracle for SQL*Net. Please note the "class-map" command
can be used in the Cisco ASA or Cisco PIX to apply SQL*Net inspection
to a range of different port numbers. A TCP three-way handshake is
needed to exploit this vulnerability. The requirement of a TCP three way
handshake significantly reduces the possibility of exploitation using
packets with spoofed source addresses.
Access Control List Bypass Vulnerability
+---------------------------------------
Access lists have an implicit deny behavior that is applied to packets
that have not matched any of the permit or deny ACEs in an ACL and reach
the end of the ACL. This implicit deny is there by design, does not
require any configuration and can be understood as an implicit ACE that
denies all traffic reaching the end of the ACL. A vulnerability exists
in the Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX that may allow traffic to bypass the
implicit deny ACE.
Note: This behavior only impacts the implicit deny statement on any
ACL applied on the device. Access control lists with explicit deny
statements are not affected by this vulnerability. This vulnerability is
experienced in very rare occasions and extremely hard to reproduce.
You can trace the lifespan of a packet through the security appliance
to see whether the packet is operating correctly with the packet tracer
tool. The "packet-tracer" command provides detailed information about
the packets and how they are processed by the security appliance. If a
command from the configuration did not cause the packet to drop, the
"packet-tracer" command will provide information about the cause in an
easily readable manner. You can use this feature to see if the implicit
deny on an ACL is not taking effect. The following example shows that
the implicit deny is bypassed (result = ALLOW):

Impact
======
Successful exploitation of the VPN Authentication Bypass when Account
Override Feature is Used vulnerability may allow an attacker to
successfully connect to the Cisco ASA via remote access IPSec or
SSL-based VPN. Repeated exploitation could result in
a sustained DoS condition. Successful exploitation of the ACL bypass
vulnerability may allow an attacker to access resources that should be
protected by the Cisco ASA.
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.
The following table contains the first fixed software release of each
vulnerability. The "Recommended Release" row indicates the releases
which have fixes for all the published vulnerabilities at the time
of this Advisory. A device running a version of the given release in
a specific row (less than the First Fixed Release) is known to be
vulnerable. Cisco recommends upgrading to a release equal to or later

Workarounds
===========
This Security Advisory describes multiple distinct vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities and their respective workarounds are independent
of each other.
VPN Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
+--------------------------------------
The override account feature is enabled with the
"override-account-disable" command in "tunnel-group general-attributes"
configuration mode. As a workaround, disable this feature using the "no
override-account-disable" command.
Crafted HTTP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+------------------------------------
Devices configured for SSL VPN (clientless or client-based) or accepting
ASDM management connections are vulnerable.
Note: IPSec clients are not vulnerable to this vulnerability.
If SSL VPN (clientless or client-based) is not used, administrators
should make sure that ASDM connections are only allowed from trusted
hosts.
To identify the IP addresses from which the security appliance
accepts HTTPS connections for ASDM, configure the "http" command for
each trusted host address or subnet. The following example, shows
how a trusted host with IP address 192.168.1.100 is added to the
configuration:
hostname(config)# http 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.255
Crafted TCP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-----------------------------------
There are no workarounds for this vulnerability.
Crafted H.323 Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------------
H.323 inspection should be disabled if it is not needed. Temporarily
disabling the feature will mitigate this vulnerability. H.323 inspection
can be disabled with the command "no inspect h323".
SQL*Net Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------
SQL*Net inspection should be disabled if it is not needed. Temporarily
disabling the feature will mitigate this vulnerability. SQL*Net
inspection can be disabled with the command "no inspect sqlnet".
Access Control List (ACL) Bypass Vulnerability
+---------------------------------------------
As a workaround, remove the "access-group" line applied on the interface
where the ACL is configured and re-apply it. For example:
ASA(config)#no access-group acl-inside in interface inside
ASA(config)#access-group acl-inside in interface inside
In the previous example the access group called "acl-inside" is removed
and reapplied to the inside interface. Alternatively, you can add an
explicit "deny ip any any" line in the bottom of the ACL applied on that
interface. For example:
ASA(config)#access-list 100 deny ip any any
In the previous example, an explicit deny for all IP traffic is added at
the end of "access-list 100".
Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the
network are available in the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin companion
document for this advisory, which is available at the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20090408-asa.shtml.

Affected Products
=================
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
The following is a list of the products affected by each vulnerability
as described in detail within this advisory.
Note: The Override Account Disabled feature was introduced in Cisco
ASA software version 7.1(1). This feature is
disabled by default. Only Cisco ASA software versions 8.0 and 8.1 are
affected by this vulnerability. H.323 inspection is enabled by default.
Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX software versions 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, and 8.1
are affected by this vulnerability. SQL*Net inspection is enabled by default.
Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX software versions 7.2, 8.0, and 8.1 are affected
by this vulnerability. Cisco ASA and
Cisco PIX software versions 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, and 8.0 are affected by this
vulnerability.
Determination of Software Versions
+---------------------------------
The "show version" command-line interface (CLI) command can be used to
determine whether a vulnerable version of the Cisco PIX or Cisco ASA
software is running. The following example shows a Cisco ASA Adaptive
Security Appliance that runs software version 8.0(4):
ASA#show version
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.0(4)
Device Manager Version 6.0(1)
<output truncated>
The following example shows a Cisco PIX security appliance that runs
software version 8.0(4):
PIX#show version
Cisco PIX Security Appliance Software Version 8.0(4)
Device Manager Version 5.2(3)
<output truncated>
Customers who use Cisco ASDM to manage their devices can find the
software version displayed in the table in the login window or in the
upper left corner of the ASDM window.
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
The Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) for Cisco Catalyst 6500
Series switches and Cisco 7600 Series routers and Cisco VPN 3000 Series
Concentrators are not affected by any of these vulnerabilities. No other Cisco products are currently known to be
affected by these vulnerabilities.
Details
=======
This Security Advisory describes multiple distinct vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities are independent of each other. However, the user must provide the correct
credentials in order to login to the VPN.
Note: The override account feature was introduced in Cisco ASA software
version 7.1(1).
The override account feature is enabled with the
"override-account-disable" command in "tunnel-group general-attributes"
configuration mode, as shown in the following example. The following
example allows overriding the "account-disabled" indicator from the AAA
server for the WebVPN tunnel group "testgroup":
hostname(config)#tunnel-group testgroup type webvpn
hostname(config)#tunnel-group testgroup general-attributes
hostname(config-tunnel-general)#override-account-disable
Note: The override account feature is disabled by default.
Crafted HTTP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+------------------------------------
A crafted SSL or HTTP packet may cause a DoS condition on a Cisco
ASA device that is configured to terminate SSL VPN connections. This
vulnerability can also be triggered to any interface where ASDM access
is enabled. A successful attack may result in a reload of the device. A
TCP three-way handshake is not needed to exploit this vulnerability.
Crafted TCP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-----------------------------------
A crafted TCP packet may cause a memory leak on a Cisco ASA or Cisco PIX
device. A successful attack may result in a sustained DoS condition.
A Cisco ASA device configured for any of the following features is
affected:
* SSL VPNs
* ASDM Administrative Access
* Telnet Access
* SSH Access
* cTCP for Remote Access VPNs
* Virtual Telnet
* Virtual HTTP
* TLS Proxy for Encrypted Voice Inspection
* Cut-Through Proxy for Network Access
* TCP Intercept
Note: This vulnerability may be triggered when crafted packets are sent
to any TCP based service that terminates on the affected device. The
vulnerability may also be triggered via transient traffic only if the
TCP intercept features has been enabled. A TCP three-way handshake is
not needed to exploit this vulnerability.
Crafted H.323 Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------------
A crafted H.323 packet may cause a DoS condition on a Cisco ASA device
that is configured with H.323 inspection. H.323 inspection is enabled by
default. A successful attack may result in a reload of the device. A TCP
three-way handshake is not needed to exploit this vulnerability. SQL*Net inspection is
enabled by default. A successful attack may result in a reload of the
device.
The default port assignment for SQL*Net is TCP port 1521. This is the
value used by Oracle for SQL*Net. Please note the "class-map" command
can be used in the Cisco ASA or Cisco PIX to apply SQL*Net inspection
to a range of different port numbers. A TCP three-way handshake is
needed to exploit this vulnerability. The requirement of a TCP three way
handshake significantly reduces the possibility of exploitation using
packets with spoofed source addresses.
Access Control List Bypass Vulnerability
+---------------------------------------
Access lists have an implicit deny behavior that is applied to packets
that have not matched any of the permit or deny ACEs in an ACL and reach
the end of the ACL. This implicit deny is there by design, does not
require any configuration and can be understood as an implicit ACE that
denies all traffic reaching the end of the ACL. A vulnerability exists
in the Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX that may allow traffic to bypass the
implicit deny ACE.
Note: This behavior only impacts the implicit deny statement on any
ACL applied on the device. Access control lists with explicit deny
statements are not affected by this vulnerability. This vulnerability is
experienced in very rare occasions and extremely hard to reproduce.
You can trace the lifespan of a packet through the security appliance
to see whether the packet is operating correctly with the packet tracer
tool. The "packet-tracer" command provides detailed information about
the packets and how they are processed by the security appliance. If a
command from the configuration did not cause the packet to drop, the
"packet-tracer" command will provide information about the cause in an
easily readable manner. You can use this feature to see if the implicit
deny on an ACL is not taking effect. The following example shows that
the implicit deny is bypassed (result = ALLOW):

Impact
======
Successful exploitation of the VPN Authentication Bypass when Account
Override Feature is Used vulnerability may allow an attacker to
successfully connect to the Cisco ASA via remote access IPSec or
SSL-based VPN. Repeated exploitation could result in
a sustained DoS condition. Successful exploitation of the ACL bypass
vulnerability may allow an attacker to access resources that should be
protected by the Cisco ASA.
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.
The following table contains the first fixed software release of each
vulnerability. The "Recommended Release" row indicates the releases
which have fixes for all the published vulnerabilities at the time
of this Advisory. A device running a version of the given release in
a specific row (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 Release" row of the table.

Workarounds
===========
This Security Advisory describes multiple distinct vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities and their respective workarounds are independent
of each other.
VPN Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
+--------------------------------------
The override account feature is enabled with the
"override-account-disable" command in "tunnel-group general-attributes"
configuration mode. As a workaround, disable this feature using the "no
override-account-disable" command.
Crafted HTTP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+------------------------------------
Devices configured for SSL VPN (clientless or client-based) or accepting
ASDM management connections are vulnerable.
Note: IPSec clients are not vulnerable to this vulnerability.
If SSL VPN (clientless or client-based) is not used, administrators
should make sure that ASDM connections are only allowed from trusted
hosts.
To identify the IP addresses from which the security appliance
accepts HTTPS connections for ASDM, configure the "http" command for
each trusted host address or subnet. The following example, shows
how a trusted host with IP address 192.168.1.100 is added to the
configuration:
hostname(config)# http 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.255
Crafted TCP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-----------------------------------
There are no workarounds for this vulnerability.
Crafted H.323 Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------------
H.323 inspection should be disabled if it is not needed. Temporarily
disabling the feature will mitigate this vulnerability. H.323 inspection
can be disabled with the command "no inspect h323".
SQL*Net Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------
SQL*Net inspection should be disabled if it is not needed. Temporarily
disabling the feature will mitigate this vulnerability. SQL*Net
inspection can be disabled with the command "no inspect sqlnet".
Access Control List (ACL) Bypass Vulnerability
+---------------------------------------------
As a workaround, remove the "access-group" line applied on the interface
where the ACL is configured and re-apply it. For example:
ASA(config)#no access-group acl-inside in interface inside
ASA(config)#access-group acl-inside in interface inside
In the previous example the access group called "acl-inside" is removed
and reapplied to the inside interface. Alternatively, you can add an
explicit "deny ip any any" line in the bottom of the ACL applied on that
interface. For example:
ASA(config)#access-list 100 deny ip any any
In the previous example, an explicit deny for all IP traffic is added at
the end of "access-list 100".
Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the
network are available in the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin companion
document for this advisory, which is available at the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20090408-asa.shtml.

Affected Products
=================
Vulnerable Products
+------------------
The following is a list of the products affected by each vulnerability
as described in detail within this advisory.
Note: The Override Account Disabled feature was introduced in Cisco
ASA software version 7.1(1). This feature is
disabled by default. Only Cisco ASA software versions 8.0 and 8.1 are
affected by this vulnerability. Cisco ASA and
Cisco PIX security appliances running versions 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, and
8.1 are affected when configured for any of the following features:
* SSL VPNs
* ASDM Administrative Access
* Telnet Access
* SSH Access
* Cisco Tunneling Control Protocol (cTCP) for Remote Access VPNs
* Virtual Telnet
* Virtual HTTP
* Transport Layer Security (TLS) Proxy for Encrypted Voice
Inspection
* Cut-Through Proxy for Network Access
* TCP Intercept
Crafted H.323 Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------------
Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX security appliances may experience a device
reload that can be triggered by a series of crafted H.323 packets, when
H.323 inspection is enabled. H.323 inspection is enabled by default.
Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX software versions 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, and 8.1
are affected by this vulnerability. SQL*Net inspection is enabled by default.
Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX software versions 7.2, 8.0, and 8.1 are affected
by this vulnerability. Cisco ASA and
Cisco PIX software versions 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, and 8.0 are affected by this
vulnerability.
Determination of Software Versions
+---------------------------------
The "show version" command-line interface (CLI) command can be used to
determine whether a vulnerable version of the Cisco PIX or Cisco ASA
software is running. The following example shows a Cisco ASA Adaptive
Security Appliance that runs software version 8.0(4):
ASA#show version
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.0(4)
Device Manager Version 6.0(1)
<output truncated>
The following example shows a Cisco PIX security appliance that runs
software version 8.0(4):
PIX#show version
Cisco PIX Security Appliance Software Version 8.0(4)
Device Manager Version 5.2(3)
<output truncated>
Customers who use Cisco ASDM to manage their devices can find the
software version displayed in the table in the login window or in the
upper left corner of the ASDM window.
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
The Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) for Cisco Catalyst 6500
Series switches and Cisco 7600 Series routers and Cisco VPN 3000 Series
Concentrators are not affected by any of these vulnerabilities. No other Cisco products are currently known to be
affected by these vulnerabilities.
Details
=======
This Security Advisory describes multiple distinct vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities are independent of each other. However, the user must provide the correct
credentials in order to login to the VPN.
Note: The override account feature was introduced in Cisco ASA software
version 7.1(1).
The override account feature is enabled with the
"override-account-disable" command in "tunnel-group general-attributes"
configuration mode, as shown in the following example. The following
example allows overriding the "account-disabled" indicator from the AAA
server for the WebVPN tunnel group "testgroup":
hostname(config)#tunnel-group testgroup type webvpn
hostname(config)#tunnel-group testgroup general-attributes
hostname(config-tunnel-general)#override-account-disable
Note: The override account feature is disabled by default.
Crafted HTTP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+------------------------------------
A crafted SSL or HTTP packet may cause a DoS condition on a Cisco
ASA device that is configured to terminate SSL VPN connections. This
vulnerability can also be triggered to any interface where ASDM access
is enabled. A successful attack may result in a reload of the device. A
TCP three-way handshake is not needed to exploit this vulnerability.
Crafted TCP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-----------------------------------
A crafted TCP packet may cause a memory leak on a Cisco ASA or Cisco PIX
device. A successful attack may result in a sustained DoS condition.
A Cisco ASA device configured for any of the following features is
affected:
* SSL VPNs
* ASDM Administrative Access
* Telnet Access
* SSH Access
* cTCP for Remote Access VPNs
* Virtual Telnet
* Virtual HTTP
* TLS Proxy for Encrypted Voice Inspection
* Cut-Through Proxy for Network Access
* TCP Intercept
Note: This vulnerability may be triggered when crafted packets are sent
to any TCP based service that terminates on the affected device. The
vulnerability may also be triggered via transient traffic only if the
TCP intercept features has been enabled. A TCP three-way handshake is
not needed to exploit this vulnerability.
Crafted H.323 Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------------
A crafted H.323 packet may cause a DoS condition on a Cisco ASA device
that is configured with H.323 inspection. H.323 inspection is enabled by
default. A successful attack may result in a reload of the device. A TCP
three-way handshake is not needed to exploit this vulnerability. A series of SQL*Net packets
may cause a denial of service condition on a Cisco ASA and Cisco PIX
device that is configured with SQL*Net inspection. SQL*Net inspection is
enabled by default. A successful attack may result in a reload of the
device.
The default port assignment for SQL*Net is TCP port 1521. This is the
value used by Oracle for SQL*Net. Please note the "class-map" command
can be used in the Cisco ASA or Cisco PIX to apply SQL*Net inspection
to a range of different port numbers. A TCP three-way handshake is
needed to exploit this vulnerability. The requirement of a TCP three way
handshake significantly reduces the possibility of exploitation using
packets with spoofed source addresses.
Access Control List Bypass Vulnerability
+---------------------------------------
Access lists have an implicit deny behavior that is applied to packets
that have not matched any of the permit or deny ACEs in an ACL and reach
the end of the ACL. This implicit deny is there by design, does not
require any configuration and can be understood as an implicit ACE that
denies all traffic reaching the end of the ACL.
Note: This behavior only impacts the implicit deny statement on any
ACL applied on the device. Access control lists with explicit deny
statements are not affected by this vulnerability. This vulnerability is
experienced in very rare occasions and extremely hard to reproduce.
You can trace the lifespan of a packet through the security appliance
to see whether the packet is operating correctly with the packet tracer
tool. The "packet-tracer" command provides detailed information about
the packets and how they are processed by the security appliance. If a
command from the configuration did not cause the packet to drop, the
"packet-tracer" command will provide information about the cause in an
easily readable manner. You can use this feature to see if the implicit
deny on an ACL is not taking effect. The following example shows that
the implicit deny is bypassed (result = ALLOW):
<output truncated>
...
Phase: 2
Type: ACCESS-LIST
Subtype:
Result: ALLOW
Config:
Implicit Rule
Additional Information:
Forward Flow based lookup yields rule:
in id=0x1a09d350, priority=1, domain=permit, deny=false

dst mac=0000.0000.0000, mask=0000.0000.0000
<output truncated>
This vulnerability is documented in Cisco Bug ID CSCsq91277 and has
been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifiers
CVE-2009-1160.

======
Successful exploitation of the VPN Authentication Bypass when Account
Override Feature is Used vulnerability may allow an attacker to
successfully connect to the Cisco ASA via remote access IPSec or
SSL-based VPN. Repeated exploitation could result in
a sustained DoS condition. Successful exploitation of the ACL bypass
vulnerability may allow an attacker to access resources that should be
protected by the Cisco ASA.
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.
The following table contains the first fixed software release of each
vulnerability. The "Recommended Release" row indicates the releases
which have fixes for all the published vulnerabilities at the time
of this Advisory. A device running a version of the given release in
a specific row (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 Release" row of the table.

Workarounds
===========
This Security Advisory describes multiple distinct vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities and their respective workarounds are independent
of each other.
VPN Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
+--------------------------------------
The override account feature is enabled with the
"override-account-disable" command in "tunnel-group general-attributes"
configuration mode. As a workaround, disable this feature using the "no
override-account-disable" command.
Crafted HTTP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+------------------------------------
Devices configured for SSL VPN (clientless or client-based) or accepting
ASDM management connections are vulnerable.
Note: IPSec clients are not vulnerable to this vulnerability.
If SSL VPN (clientless or client-based) is not used, administrators
should make sure that ASDM connections are only allowed from trusted
hosts.
To identify the IP addresses from which the security appliance
accepts HTTPS connections for ASDM, configure the "http" command for
each trusted host address or subnet. The following example, shows
how a trusted host with IP address 192.168.1.100 is added to the
configuration:
hostname(config)# http 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.255
Crafted TCP Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-----------------------------------
There are no workarounds for this vulnerability.
Crafted H.323 Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------------
H.323 inspection should be disabled if it is not needed. Temporarily
disabling the feature will mitigate this vulnerability. H.323 inspection
can be disabled with the command "no inspect h323".
SQL*Net Packet DoS Vulnerability
+-------------------------------
SQL*Net inspection should be disabled if it is not needed. Temporarily
disabling the feature will mitigate this vulnerability. SQL*Net
inspection can be disabled with the command "no inspect sqlnet".
Access Control List (ACL) Bypass Vulnerability
+---------------------------------------------
As a workaround, remove the "access-group" line applied on the interface
where the ACL is configured and re-apply it. For example:
ASA(config)#no access-group acl-inside in interface inside
ASA(config)#access-group acl-inside in interface inside
In the previous example the access group called "acl-inside" is removed
and reapplied to the inside interface. Alternatively, you can add an
explicit "deny ip any any" line in the bottom of the ACL applied on that
interface. For example:
ASA(config)#access-list 100 deny ip any any
In the previous example, an explicit deny for all IP traffic is added at
the end of "access-list 100".
Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the
network are available in the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin companion
document for this advisory, which is available at the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20090408-asa.shtml.
