SNS Advisory No.44
Trend Micro OfficeScan Corporate Edition(Virus Buster Corporate Edition)
Configuration File Disclosure Vulnerability

Problem first discovered: Wed, 29 Aug 2001
Published: Tue, 16 Oct 2001
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Overview:
---------
  A vulnerability was discovered in Trend Micro OfficeScan Corporate
  Edition (Japanese version: Virus Buster Corporate Edition) that allows
  remote attackers to access configuration files containing passwords.

Problem Description:
--------------------
  Trend Micro OfficeScan Corporate Edition (Japanese version: Virus
  Buster Corporate Edition) is an antivirus software for enterprise use.
  This software provides real-time management, real-time configuration
  and updates pattern files on client machines from management console.

  When this software is installed, several virtual directories are
  created in order to provide Web-based management console function.
  However, attackers will be able to access one of these directories,
  /officescan/hotdownload, without authentication. In addition, the
  file stored in this directory, ofcscan.ini, is the configuration file
  used by OfficeScan Corporate Edition.

  If this vulnerability is exploited, an attacker will be able to gain
  access to the configuration information from this file. Moreover,
  although this file stores an encrypted password, it is possible to
  decrypt it easily. For example, OfficeScan Corporate Edition has
  encrypted the following character sequences, "12345":

     701F702132

  This string is generated by a specific algorithm and it is possible
  to decrypt it easily. If an application uses a duplicated password,
  an attacker will be able to cause further impacts on the system.

Tested Versions:
----------------
  OfficeScan Corporate Edition Ver.3.53
  Virus Buster Corporate Edition Ver.3.53

Tested OS:
----------
  Windows NT 4.0 Server + SP6a [English]
