TITLE

CiscoWorks Common Services Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

Unspecified vulnerability in Cisco CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.3 through 3.1.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on a client machine via unknown vectors. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. The vulnerability is documented in Cisco Bug ID CSCsm77245. No further technical details are currently available. We will update this BID as more information emerges. This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20080528-cw.shtml.

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- Products that use CiscoWorks Common Services version 3.2 and later or Common Management Framework (CMF) version 2.2 are not vulnerable. The following CiscoWorks products are also not affected by this vulnerability: +---------------------------------------+ | | Product | Common | | Product | Version | Services | | | | Version | |------------------+---------+----------| | CiscoWorks IP | | | | Communications | 1.0 | 3.0 SP1 | | Manager | | | |------------------+---------+----------| | CiscoWorks IP | | | | Communications | 1.0 | 3.0 SP1 | | Service Monitor | | | +---------------------------------------+ Note: CiscoWorks Voice Manager (CVM) and Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management (ICM) could be vulnerable if their underlying Common Services versions were upgraded. CiscoWorks is a family of products based on Internet standards for managing networks and devices. 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 * CSCsm77245 - CiscoWorks URL Misbehavior CVSS Base Score - 9.3 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Medium Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - Complete Integrity Impact - Complete Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 7.7 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the user client machine. Software Versions and Fixes =========================== Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities. Prior to deploying software, customers should consult their maintenance provider or check the software for feature set compatibility and known issues specific to their environment. This vulnerability has been corrected in CiscoWorks Common Services version 3.2 and in the following software patches: cwcs3.x-sol-CSCsm77245-0.tar.gz - for Solaris versions cwcs3.x-win-CSCsm77245-0.zip - for Windows versions The CiscoWorks Common Services patches can be downloaded from: http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cw2000-cd-one 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 =========== Filters such as Transit ACLs (tACLs) can be used to allow access to the Administration Workstation from only trusted hosts. Filters that deny HTTP packets using HTTPS packets using TCP port 443 and TCP port 1741 should be deployed throughout the network as part of a tACL policy to protect the network from traffic that enters the network at ingress access points. This policy should be configured to protect the network device where the filter is applied and other devices that are behind it. Filters for HTTPS packets that use TCP port 443 and TCP port 1741 should also be deployed in front of vulnerable network devices so only traffic from trusted clients is allowed. Note: Additional information about tACLs is available in "Transit Access Control Lists: Filtering at Your Edge": http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_white_paper09186a00801afc76.shtml For additional information on XSS attacks and the methods used to exploit these vulnerabilities, please refer to the Cisco Applied Intelligence Response "Understanding Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Threat Vectors", available at: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20060922-understanding-xss.shtml Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Customers may only install and expect support for the feature sets they have purchased. By installing, downloading, accessing or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to be bound by the terms of Cisco's software license terms found at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/prod_warranties_item09186a008088e31f.html, or as otherwise set forth at Cisco.com Downloads at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-usingswc.shtml. Do not contact psirt@cisco.com or security-alert@cisco.com for software upgrades. Customers with Service Contracts +------------------------------- Customers with contracts should obtain upgraded software through their regular update channels. For most customers, this means that upgrades should be obtained through the Software Center on Cisco's worldwide website at http://www.cisco.com. Customers using Third Party Support Organizations +------------------------------------------------ Customers whose Cisco products are provided or maintained through prior or existing agreements with third-party support organizations, such as Cisco Partners, authorized resellers, or service providers should contact that support organization for guidance and assistance with the appropriate course of action in regards to this advisory. The effectiveness of any workaround or fix is dependent on specific customer situations, such as product mix, network topology, traffic behavior, and organizational mission. Due to the variety of affected products and releases, customers should consult with their service provider or support organization to ensure any applied workaround or fix is the most appropriate for use in the intended network before it is deployed. Customers without Service Contracts +---------------------------------- Customers who purchase direct from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service contract, and customers who purchase through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should acquire upgrades by contacting the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). TAC contacts are as follows. * +1 800 553 2447 (toll free from within North America) * +1 408 526 7209 (toll call from anywhere in the world) * e-mail: tac@cisco.com Customers should have their product serial number available and be prepared to give the URL of this notice as evidence of entitlement to a free upgrade. Free upgrades for non-contract customers must be requested through the TAC. Refer to http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml for additional TAC contact information, including localized telephone numbers, and instructions and e-mail addresses for use in various languages.
