RISK: The Consensus Security Vulnerability Alert Vol. 3 No. 3

From: The SANS Institute (ConsensusSecurityVulnerabilityAlertsans.org)
Date: Thu Jan 22 2004 - 07:23:09 CST


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

This week, there is only one high risk vulnerability in a widely
deployed system. It affects Cisco CallManager and related products when
they are implemented on IBM servers with older operating systems. This
type of problem is not limited to Cisco. It arises whenever product
developers ignore the need to verify that their installation scripts do
not leave vulnerabilities in either their software or in the underlying
operating system. It's an easy mistake to make and it often causes
problems beyond the application that created the vulnerability. Let's
work cooperatively to highlight the packages that cause such problems.

Please let us know of any popular software products that have an
installation script that creates one or more vulnerabilities in the
underlying operating system that can be exploited remotely to gain
unauthorized access. The problem may be caused by the automated script
or it may be caused by a requirement that the vendor places upon the
installer to eliminate a safe security setting in order to install and
use the product. Send your submissions to infosans.org with the
subject "Installation-caused vulnerabilities."

The best ones will get nice rewards.

***********************************************************************

****************************
Widely Deployed Software
****************************

(1) HIGH: Cisco Voice IBM Director Agent Vulnerabilities
Affected: The following Cisco products are potentially vulnerable when
installed on IBM Servers with OS versions prior to 2000.2.6:
Cisco CallManager
Cisco IP Interactive Voice Response
Cisco IP Call Center Express
Cisco Personal Assistant
Cisco Emergency Responder
Cisco Conference Connection
Cisco Internet Service Node

Description: Multiple voice-related Cisco products contain two
vulnerabilities when installed on IBM servers and running in the default
configuration. Both problems arise because the Cisco software installs
the IBM Director Agent insecurely, leaving the agent's management ports
(14247 udp and tcp) exposed to the network. The first vulnerability
allows a remote attacker to gain administrative access without
authentication by connecting to either exposed port with any Director
Server/Console agent. The second flaw allows an attacker to cause a
denial-of-service by forcing the server to consume 100% CPU until
rebooted. The DoS problem can reportedly be triggered by running a
security scanner against a Director Agent port. No special exploit code
is required to take advantage of either vulnerability.

Status: Vendor confirmed, a repair script is available for download.
The script will close the hole without requiring a software update.

Council Site Actions: Due to the late breaking nature of this issue, we
were unable to solicit input from the council members. The council site
actions taken in response to these vulnerabilities will be provided in
next week's newsletter.

***********************************************************

(2) LOW: qmail Long SMTP Session Handling Vulnerability
Affected: qmail version 1.03 running on Linux

Description: qmail is the second most popular SMTP server (next to the
sendmail) used on the Internet. qmail reportedly contains a
vulnerability in its handling of long SMTP sessions. The flaw may be
exploited to overwrite qmail process memory with user-supplied data. By
manipulating the user-supplied data, it is possible to crash the active
SMTP session and it may be possible to execute arbitrary code.
Researchers investigating the problem currently believe the flaw is not
exploitable for code execution purposes however. A proof-of-concept
program that causes the memory overwrite has been publicly posted.

Status: Vendor has been notified. No updates are available.

Council Site Actions: The affected software is in use (on internal
networks) at only two of the reporting council sites. These sites plan
to deploy the patches once they are available. One site plans to do a
more extensive assessment of their qmail deployment if evidence surfaces
that indicates that the problem can be remotely exploited.

(3) LOW: HP Tru64 Unix IPsec and SSH Vulnerabilities
Affected: HP Tru64 Unix 5.1x systems running IPsec software prior to
version 2.1.1 and SSH software prior to version 3.2.2
           
Description: HP has issued updates for the Tru64 SSH and IPsec packages.
These updates reportedly fix vulnerabilities that can lead to remote
compromise of Tru64 Unix systems. No further technical details regarding
the vulnerabilities have been made public by HP. Currently it is
speculated that the updates fix previously reported vulnerabilities
related to OpenSSL ASN.1 parsing and Client_Master_Key message handling.

Status: Vendor confirmed. Updated packages are available.

Council Site Actions: Only one of the reporting council sites is using
the affected software. They reported very limited use of this package.
If additional information is released that indicates a higher
probability of exploitation, they will scan for all possible machines
running the affected software and ensure they are updated.

(6) MODERATE: Mabry FTPServer/X Format String Vulnerability
Affected: Mabry FTPServer/X version 1.00.050 on Windows

Description: The Mabry FTPServer/X software can be used as a stand-alone
FTP server, or its ActiveX/COM component can be integrated with
arbitrary Windows programs to provide an FTP service. The software
reportedly contains a format string vulnerability which can be triggered
by specially crafted user data. For example, an unauthenticated user
can send "%s%s%s" or "%999d" as username to crash the FTP server. The
vulnerability can be exploited to cause a denial of service and possibly
to execute arbitrary code with the FTP server's privileges. Note that
any Windows application that has integrated a vulnerable version of
FTPServer/X may be affected. The technical details required to exploit
the flaws have been posted.

Status: Vendor confirmed, upgrade to version 1.00.051.

Council Site Actions: The affected software is not in production or
widespread use at any of the council sites. They reported that no action
was necessary.

******************************************************************

(7) MODERATE: tcpdump RADIUS and ISAKMP Decoding Vulnerabilities
Affected: tcpdump version 3.8.1 and prior

Description: tcpdump is a popular open source network sniffer which can
decode multiple protocols. The tcpdump parsing routines for the RADIUS
and ISAKMP protocols contain vulnerabilities that can be exploited to
crash the tcpdump program, and possibly to execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running the sniffer. To successfully exploit
the flaws, an attacker would need to inject specially crafted RADIUS or
ISAKMP packets into the network traffic being processed by tcpdump, or
entice a victim to open a malicious traffic capture file. Note that any
application based on tcpdump or its source code may also be affected.
The technical details required to exploit the flaws have been posted.

Status: Vendor (tcpdump.org) has not confirmed the vulnerability. RedHat
Linux has released updated packages for tcpdump and libpcap.

Council Site Actions: Most of the reporting council sites are running
the affected software. However, they all commented they have very
limited deployments and in most cases are not running the specific
configuration that is vulnerable. Many sites notified their system
support group and are allowing those groups to determine the appropriate
action. Some sites plan to deploy the patches during their regularly
scheduled system update process. One site plans to remove the tcpdump
program from systems where it is not needed.

Affected: Sun J2EE Reference Implementation 1.4 with PointBase database
version 4.6

Description: PointBase is a relational database management system
included in Sun's J2EE reference implementation. It is reported that
due to improper permission settings in the J2EE's PointBase
installation, a remote attacker can execute arbitrary commands on the
Pointbase server. The flaw can also be exploited to crash the Java
virtual machine running PointBase. Technical details and a
proof-of-concept exploit have been publicly posted.

Status: Unknown. Neither the Sun nor the PointBase websites mention this
security issue.

Council Site Actions: The affected software is not in production or
widespread use at any of the council sites. They reported that no action
