VARIoT IoT vulnerabilities database

The HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) on HP LaserJet Printers, Edgeline Printers, and Digital Senders has no management password by default, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access. LaserJet 3000 is prone to a remote security vulnerability. HP LaserJet is a series of laser printers launched by HP

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) on HP LaserJet Printers, Edgeline Printers, and Digital Senders allow remote attackers to hijack the intranet connectivity of arbitrary users for requests that (1) print documents via unknown vectors, (2) modify the network configuration via a NetIPChange request to hp/device/config_result_YesNo.html/config, or (3) change the password via the Password and ConfirmPassword parameters to hp/device/set_config_password.html/config. Multiple HP printers are prone to a cross-site request-forgery vulnerability. Exploiting this issue may allow a remote attacker to change a device's configuration and perform other unauthorized actions. This issue affects HP LaserJet M1522n MFP and HP Color LaserJet 2605dtn. Other models in the LaserJet Printer, Edgeline Printer, and Digital Sender lines are also expected to be affected. The embedded WEB server of LaserJet series laser printer accepts the printing request sent on TCP port 9100 by default. If a user is tricked into visiting a website containing malicious code, it may lead to a cross-site request forgery attack and unauthorized changes to the printer network configuration or user password

The FTP server in Serv-U 7.0.0.1 through 7.4.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (service hang) via a large number of SMNT commands without an argument. RhinoSoft Serv-U is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. Successfully exploiting this issue will allow attackers to deny service to legitimate users. Given the nature of this issue, attackers may also be able to run arbitrary code, but this has not been confirmed. Serv-U 7.4.0.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected

The IAX2 protocol implementation in Asterisk Open Source 1.2.x before 1.2.35, 1.4.x before 1.4.26.2, 1.6.0.x before 1.6.0.15, and 1.6.1.x before 1.6.1.6; Business Edition B.x.x before B.2.5.10, C.2.x before C.2.4.3, and C.3.x before C.3.1.1; and s800i 1.3.x before 1.3.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (call-number exhaustion) by initiating many IAX2 message exchanges, a related issue to CVE-2008-3263. The problem is CVE-2008-3263 Related toBy a third party IAX2 Service operation disruption by starting message exchange ( Call number exhaustion ) There is a possibility of being put into a state. Asterisk is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to properly handle an excessive amount of call numbers. Successful exploits can cause the application to stop accepting connections, resulting in denial-of-service conditions for legitimate users. The vulnerabilities are caused due to NULL-pointer dereference errors in the "sip_uri_params_cmp()" and "sip_uri_headers_cmp()" functions. This can be exploited to crash the application via a SIP message lacking certain headers. Successful exploitation requires that the SIP channel driver is configured with the "pedantic" option enabled. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: The vendor credits bugs.digium.com user klaus3000.

However, the | | | protocol defines the call number field in messages as a | | | fixed size 15 bit field. So, if all call numbers are in | | | use, no additional sessions can be handled. | | | | | | A call number gets created at the start of an IAX2 | | | message exchange. So, an attacker can send a large | | | number of messages and consume the call number space. | | | The attack is also possible using spoofed source IP | | | addresses as no handshake is required before a call | | | number is assigned. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Resolution | Upgrade to a version of Asterisk listed in this document | | | as containing the IAX2 protocol security enhancements. In | | | addition to upgrading, administrators should consult the | | | users guide section of the IAX2 Security document | | | (IAX2-security.pdf), as well as the sample configuration | | | file for chan_iax2 that have been distributed with those | | | releases for assistance with new options that have been | | | provided. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Discussion | A lot of time was spent trying to come up with a way to | | | resolve this issue in a way that was completely backwards | | | compatible. However, the final resolution ended up | | | requiring a modification to the IAX2 protocol. This | | | modification is referred to as call token validation. | | | Call token validation is used as a handshake before call | | | numbers are assigned to IAX2 connections. | | | | | | Call token validation by itself does not resolve the | | | issue. However, it does allow an IAX2 server to validate | | | that the source of the messages has not been spoofed. In | | | addition to call token validation, Asterisk now also has | | | the ability to limit the amount of call numbers assigned | | | to a given remote IP address. | | | | | | The combination of call token validation and call number | | | allocation limits is used to mitigate this denial of | | | service issue. | | | | | | An alternative approach to securing IAX2 would be to use | | | a security layer on top of IAX2, such as DTLS [RFC4347] | | | or IPsec [RFC4301].

The vulnerabilities are caused due to "sscanf()" being invoked without specifying a maximum width e.g. when processing SIP messages. This can be exploited to exhaust stack memory in the SIP stack network thread via overly long numeric strings in various fields of a message. NOTE: According to the vendor this is only potentially exploitable in 1.6.1 and above

perl-MDK-Common 1.1.11 and 1.1.24, 1.2.9 through 1.2.14, and possibly other versions, in Mandriva Linux does not properly handle strings when writing them to configuration files, which allows attackers to gain privileges via "special characters" in unspecified vectors. Mandriva perl-MDK-Common is prone to an unspecified privilege-escalation vulnerability because the software fails to properly validate user-supplied input. An attacker may exploit this issue to gain elevated privileges

The IP Phone Personal Address Book (PAB) Synchronizer feature in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (aka CUCM, formerly CallManager) 4.1, 4.2 before 4.2(3)SR4b, 4.3 before 4.3(2)SR1b, 5.x before 5.1(3e), 6.x before 6.1(3), and 7.0 before 7.0(2) sends privileged directory-service account credentials to the client in cleartext, which allows remote attackers to modify the CUCM configuration and perform other privileged actions by intercepting these credentials, and then using them in requests unrelated to the intended synchronization task, as demonstrated by (1) DC Directory account credentials in CUCM 4.x and (2) TabSyncSysUser account credentials in CUCM 5.x through 7.x. Cisco Unified Communications Manager is prone to a remote privilege-escalation vulnerability. Attackers can exploit this issue to gain administrative access to the affected device and completely compromise it. This issue is tracked by Cisco Bug ID CSCso76587 and CSCso78528.

Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. Workarounds that mitigate this vulnerability are available. The software version can also be determined by running the command show version active via the command line interface (CLI). No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this vulnerability. If an attacker is able to intercept the credentials, they can perform unauthorized modifications to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager configuration and extend their privileges. Cisco Unified Communications Manager 4.x +--------------------------------------- Cisco Unified Communications Manager software version 4.x by default stores user information using an internal Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server called DC Directory. Depending on how a Cisco Unified Communications Manager is configured, an attacker may obtain different privilege levels using the intercepted credentials. By default, Cisco Unified Communications Manager software version 4.x administrator accounts are created as part of an underlying Microsoft Windows operating system. If an attacker obtains the DC Directory credentials and MLA is enabled, the attacker can add an existing account to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager super-user group. If MLA is not enabled, the attacker cannot escalate their privileges; however, they can modify any user settings in the directory. The DC Directory credentials are passed in the clear over the network and are vulnerable to being sniffed by an attacker. If using the DC Directory internal LDAP server, the IP Phone PAB Synchronizer client communicates to Cisco Unified Communications Manager on TCP ports 8404 and 8405. The IP Phone PAB Synchronizer client uses the AXL application programming interface (API) to perform address book synchronization. After a client successfully authenticates, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager returns credentials for a database user account named TabSyncSysUser that will be used by the client to synchronize an user's address book. Using the TabSyncSysUser credentials via the AXL API, an attacker can modify any parameter in the database including creating new administrator accounts. Directory Service Integration +---------------------------- Cisco Unified Communications Manager software versions 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x can be integrated with Microsoft Active Directory and several non-Microsoft LDAP servers to perform user authentication. In order to function properly, the integration process requires that appropriate user credentials for the directory service are provided to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Administrators should ensure that any directory service credentials used for the Cisco Unified Communications Manager integration process are configured to follow the principle of least privilege. The credentials should be configured with only the privileges necessary to access the directory service data needed for the integration process to function properly. The use of overly privileged administrator accounts is discouraged. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco Bug IDs CSCso76587 and CSCso78528 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier CVE-2009-0632. Vulnerability Scoring Details ============================= Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerability in this advisory based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS scoring in this Security Advisory is done in accordance with CVSS version 2.0. CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability severity and helps determine urgency and priority of response. Cisco has provided a base and temporal score. Customers can then compute environmental scores to assist in determining the impact of the vulnerability in individual networks. Cisco has provided an FAQ to answer additional questions regarding CVSS at: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to help compute the environmental impact for individual networks at: http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss CSCso76587 - Directory Manager password sent in clear from client CVSS Base Score - 9 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - Single Confidentiality Impact - Complete Integrity Impact - Complete Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 7.4 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed CSCso78528 - TabSyncSysUser (axl user) password sent in clear from client CVSS Base Score - 9 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - Single Confidentiality Impact - Complete Integrity Impact - Complete Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 7.4 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an attacker to intercept user credentials that allow the attacker to escalate their privilege level and obtain complete administrative access to a vulnerable Cisco Unified Communications Manager system. If integrated with an external directory service, the intercepted user credentials may allow an attacker to gain access to additional systems configured to use the directory service for authentication. 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. Version 7.0(2) can be downloaded at the following link: http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/ReleaseType.x?optPlat=&isPlatform=Y&mdfid=281941895&sftType=Unified+Communications+Manager+Updates&treeName=Voice+and+Unified+Communications&modelName=Cisco+Unified+Communications+Manager+Version+7.0&mdfLevel=Software%20Version/Option&treeMdfId=278875240&modifmdfid=null&imname=&hybrid=Y&imst=N Workarounds =========== It is possible to mitigate against this vulnerability using the following workarounds. Employing this workaround will prevent address book synchronization; however, the PAB application will continue to function. The ASP script can be moved using the following command: C:\> move c:\CiscoWebs\User\LDAPDetails.asp c:\temp It is also possible to mitigate this vulnerability by implementing filtering on screening devices or using the Windows firewall. Administrators are advised to permit access to TCP ports 8404 and 8405 only from trusted networks. Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.x, 6.x, 7.x +------------------------------------------------- It is possible to mitigate this vulnerability by restricting the permissions of the TabSyncSysUser database user account. Remove all groups from the account and change the password. Employing this workaround will prevent address book synchronization; however, the PAB application will continue to function. The whitepaper can be downloaded here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_tech_note09186a0080a83435.shtml 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-20090311-cucmpab.shtml Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Session Border Controller (SBC) before 3.0(2) for Cisco 7600 series routers allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (SBC card reload) via crafted packets to TCP port 2000. A remote attacker may exploit this issue to cause the affected device to reload. Repeated attacks can result in a denial-of-service condition. This issue is documented in Cisco Bug ID CSCsq18958. Versions prior to Cisco SBC software 3.0(2) are vulnerable. This issue affects SBC for Cisco 7600 series routers. Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. Workarounds that mitigate this vulnerability are available. To determine the version of the Cisco SBC software running on a system, log in to the device and issue the show version command to display the system banner. card_A/Admin# show version system image file: [LCP] disk0:c76-sbck9-mzg.3.0.1_AS3_0_00.bin <output truncated> Cisco SBC software version 3.0.1 is running in the device used in this example. Additionally, the Cisco ACE Module, Cisco ACE 4710 Application Control Engine, Cisco ACE XML Gateway, Cisco ACE Web Application Firewall, and the Cisco ACE GSS (Global Site Selector) 4400 Series are not affected by this vulnerability. No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this vulnerability. Details ======= The Session Border Controller (SBC) enables direct IP-to-IP interconnect between multiple administrative domains for session-based services providing protocol interworking, security, and admission control and management. The SBC is a multimedia device that sits on the border of a network and controls call admission to that network. Note: Only the Cisco SBC module reloads after successful exploitation. Note: TCP port 2000 is typically used by Skinny Call Control Protocol (SCCP) applications. However, the Cisco SBC module uses TCP port 2000 for high availability (redundancy) communication, but does not use the SCCP for this purpose. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco Bug IDs CSCsq18958 ( registered customers only) ; and has been assigned the Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) IDs CVE-2009-0619. Vulnerability Scoring Details ============================= Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerability in this advisory based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS scoring in this Security Advisory is done in accordance with CVSS version 2.0. CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability severity and helps determine urgency and priority of response. Cisco has provided a base and temporal score. Customers can then compute environmental scores to assist in determining the impact of the vulnerability in individual networks. Cisco has provided an FAQ to answer additional questions regarding CVSS at http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to help compute the environmental impact for individual networks at http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss CVSS Base Score - 7.8 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - None Integrity Impact - None Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 6.4 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may cause a reload of the affected device. Cisco SBC software can be downloaded from: http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/sbc-7600-crypto 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. Workarounds =========== As a workaround, configure an access control list (ACL) in the signaling / media VLAN on the Route Processor (RP). The following examples show how VLAN 140 is configured as the signaling / media VLAN. A separate VLAN (VLAN 77) is configured as Fault Tolerance (FT). An ACL is added to the signaling/media VLAN on the RP filtering all TCP port 2000 packets to the alias IP address. Cisco SBC configuration interface vlan 140 ip address 10.140.1.90 255.255.255.0 alias 10.140.1.100 255.255.255.0 peer ip address 10.140.1.8 255.255.255.0 ! ft interface vlan 77 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 peer ip address 192.168.1. 255.255.255.0 RP Configuration !- ACL blocking all TCP port 2000 traffic to the 10.140.1.0 internal network ! access-list 100 deny tcp any host 10.140.1.100 eq 2000 access-list 100 permit ip any any ! interface Vlan140 ip address 10.140.1.1 255.255.255.0 !- ACL is applied to the VLAN interface to egress traffic ip access-group 100 out ! The alias command under VLAN 140 is configured with an IP address that floats between active and standby modules when using high availability. Only TCP port 2000 traffic destined to this IP address may trigger this vulnerability. An access control list (ACL) is configured to deny TCP port 2000 destined to the alias IP address (10.140.1.100). The ACL is applied egress in the RP. Note: TCP port 2000 is used by Skinny Call Control Protocol (SCCP) applications; however, in this case it is used by the SBC for internal communications. The previous ACL only blocks TCP port 2000 traffic to the alias IP address. TCP port 2000 is not used by the alias IP address. This ACL should not cause any collateral damage. Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the network are available in the Cisco Applied Intelligence companion document for this Advisory: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20090304-sbc.shtml Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability.
