TITLE

Cisco Security Agent Service disruption in (DoS) Vulnerabilities

DESCRIPTION

Unspecified vulnerability in Cisco Security Agent 5.2 before 5.2.0.285, when running on Linux, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via "a series of TCP packets.". The Cisco Security Agent is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability. This issue is tracked by Cisco Bug ID CSCtb89870. An attacker can exploit this issue to cause the vulnerable computer to crash, denying service to legitimate users. Cisco Security Agent 5.2 for Windows and Linux is vulnerable. Cisco Security Agent adopts behavior-based evaluation criteria to identify and protect servers and terminal computers, instead of relying only on signature matching for analysis and identification, successfully solving the security risks brought by unknown viruses. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Cisco Security Advisory: Multiple Vulnerabilities in Cisco Security Agent Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20100217-csa Revision 1.0 For Public Release 2010 February 17 1600 UTC (GMT) +--------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary ======= The Management Center for Cisco Security Agents is affected by a directory traversal vulnerability and a SQL injection vulnerability. Successful exploitation of the directory traversal vulnerability may allow an authenticated attacker to view and download arbitrary files from the server hosting the Management Center. Successful exploitation of the SQL injection vulnerability may allow an authenticated attacker to execute SQL statements that can cause instability of the product or changes in the configuration. Repeated exploitation could result in a sustained DoS condition. These vulnerabilities are independent of each other. Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities. This advisory is posted at: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20100217-csa.shtml Affected Products ================= Vulnerable Products +------------------ Cisco Security Agent releases 5.1, 5.2 and 6.0 are affected by the SQL injection vulnerability. Note: Only the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents is affected by the directory traversal and SQL injection vulnerabilities. The agents installed on user end-points are not affected. Standalone agents are installed in the following products: * Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CallManager) * Cisco Conference Connection (CCC) * Emergency Responder * IPCC Express * IPCC Enterprise * IPCC Hosted * IP Interactive Voice Response (IP IVR) * IP Queue Manager * Intelligent Contact Management (ICM) * Cisco Voice Portal (CVP) * Cisco Unified Meeting Place * Cisco Personal Assistant (PA) * Cisco Unity * Cisco Unity Connection * Cisco Unity Bridge * Cisco Secure ACS Solution Engine * Cisco Internet Service Node (ISN) * Cisco Security Manager (CSM) Note: The Sun Solaris version of the Cisco Security Agent is not affected by these vulnerabilities. No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities. Management Center for Cisco Security Agents Directory Traversal Vulnerability +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Management Center for Cisco Security Agents is affected by a directory traversal vulnerability that may allow an authenticated attacker to view and download arbitrary files from the server that is hosting the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents. Management Center for Cisco Security Agents SQL Injection Vulnerability +---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Management Center for Cisco Security Agents is also affected by a SQL injection vulnerability that may allow an authenticated attacker to execute SQL statements that can cause the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents to become unstable or modify its configuration. These configuration changes may result in modifications to the security policies of the endpoints. Additionally, an attacker may create, delete, or modify management user accounts that are found in the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents. Vulnerability Scoring Details ============================= Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerabilities 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 CSCtd73275 - Directory Traversal in the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents CVSS Base Score - 6.8 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - Single Confidentiality Impact - Complete Integrity Impact - None Availability Impact - None CVSS Temporal Score - 5.9 Exploitability - High Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed CSCtd73290 - Management Center for Cisco Security Agents: SQL Injection 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 CSCtb89870 - Kernel Panic When Receiving Certain TCP Packets 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 directory traversal vulnerability may allow an authenticated attacker to view and download arbitrary files from the server that is hosting the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents. Successful exploitation of the SQL injection vulnerability may allow an authenticated attacker to execute SQL statements that can cause the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents to become unstable or modify its configuration. Repeated exploitation could result in a sustained DoS condition. 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. +-----------------------------------------------------+ | | Cisco | First | | | Vulnerability | Security | Fixed | Recommended | | | Agent | Version | Release | | | Release | | | |---------------+----------+------------+-------------| | | 5.1 | Not | Not | | | | vulnerable | vulnerable | |Directory |----------+------------+-------------| | Traversal | 5.2 | Not | Not | | Vulnerability | | vulnerable | vulnerable | | |----------+------------+-------------| | | 6.0 | 6.0.1.132 | 6.0.1.132 | |---------------+----------+------------+-------------| | | 5.1 | 5.1.0.117 | 5.1.0.117 | |SQL Injection |----------+------------+-------------| | Vulnerability | 5.2 | 5.2.0.296 | 5.2.0.296 | | |----------+------------+-------------| | | 6.0 | 6.0.1.132 | 6.0.1.132 | |---------------+----------+------------+-------------| | | 5.1 | Not | 5.1.0.117 | | | | vulnerable | | |Denial of |----------+------------+-------------| | Service | 5.2 | 5.2.0.285 | 5.2.0.296 | |Vulnerability |----------+------------+-------------| | | 6.0 | Not | 6.0.1.132 | | | | vulnerable | | +-----------------------------------------------------+ Cisco CSA software can be downloaded from the following link: http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/Redirect.x?mdfid=278065206 Workarounds =========== There are no workarounds available to mitigate these vulnerabilities.
