Summary

A vulnerability in the implementation of the remote access functionality of Cisco AsyncOS Software for Cisco Secure Email and Web Manager, Cisco Secure Email Gateway, and Cisco Secure Web Appliance could allow an authenticated, local attacker to elevate privileges to root. The attacker must authenticate with valid administrator credentials. This vulnerability is due to an architectural flaw in the password generation algorithm for the remote access functionality. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by generating a temporary password for the service account. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root and access the underlying operating system. Note: The Security Impact Rating (SIR) for this vulnerability is Medium due to the unrestricted scope of information that is accessible to an attacker.

To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials.\r\n\r\nThis vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of XML configuration files by an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by uploading a crafted XML configuration file. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to inject commands to the underlying operating system with root privileges.\r\n\r\nCisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability.

To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker must have valid administrative credentials.\r\n\r\nThis vulnerability is due to an architectural flaw in the password generation algorithm for the remote access functionality. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by generating a temporary password for the service account. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root and access the underlying operating system.\r\n\r\nNote: The Security Impact Rating (SIR) for this vulnerability is Medium due to the unrestricted scope of information that is accessible to an attacker.\r\n\r\nCisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability.

Feiten

Cisco heeft kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Cisco AsyncOS Software (Specifiek voor Cisco Secure Web Appliance en Cisco Secure Email Gateway).

Interpretaties

De kwetsbaarheden bevinden zich in de manier waarop Cisco AsyncOS Software omgaat met verzoeken en configuratiebestanden. Een aanvaller kan ongeauthenticeerde toegang krijgen tot het systeem door gebruik te maken van onjuiste verwerking van opgemaakte range request headers, waardoor ze schadelijke bestanden kunnen downloaden zonder authenticatie. Daarnaast kunnen geauthenticeerde aanvallers, door onvoldoende validatie van XML-configuratiebestanden, commando-injectie aanvallen uitvoeren, wat kan leiden tot willekeurige commando-uitvoering. Bovendien kunnen lokale aanvallers een architectonale fout in het wachtwoordgeneratie-algoritme misbruiken, wat kan leiden tot privilege-escalatie naar root. Deze kwetsbaarheden vereisen onmiddellijke aandacht van beveiligingsteams.

Oplossingen

Cisco heeft updates uitgebracht om de kwetsbaarheden te verhelpen. Zie bijgevoegde referenties voor meer informatie.

Severity ?

3.4 (Low) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N

Details

This vulnerability is due to an architectural flaw in the password generation algorithm for the remote access functionality. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by generating a temporary password for the service account. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands as root and access the underlying operating system. Note: The Security Impact Rating (SIR) for this vulnerability is Medium due to the unrestricted scope of information that is accessible to an attacker.
