TITLE

Cisco CiscoWorks Common Service of Web Vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in server authentication function

DESCRIPTION

Multiple buffer overflows in the authentication functionality in the web-server module in Cisco CiscoWorks Common Services before 4.0 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a session on TCP port (1) 443 or (2) 1741, aka Bug ID CSCti41352. Cisco CiscoWorks Common Services is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds check user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successful exploits will completely compromise affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. CiscoWorks Common Services versions prior to 3.0.5, and versions 4.0 and later are not affected. This issue is tracked by Cisco bug id CSCti41352. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secure your corporate defenses and reduce complexity in handling vulnerability threats with the new Secunia Vulnerability Intelligence Manager (VIM) Beta.

Software Versions and Fixes =========================== Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. Prior to deploying software updates, customers should consult their maintenance provider or check the software for featureset compatibility and known issues specific to their environment. This vulnerability has been resolved in CiscoWorks Common Services version 4.0 and in the following software patches: cwcs33-sol-CSCti41352.tar - for Oracle Solaris versions cwcs33-win-CSCti41352.zip - for Microsoft Windows versions These CiscoWorks Common Services patches can be downloaded from: http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/pub/Redirect.x?mdfid=268439477 and navigating through the tree to "Routing and Switching Management > CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution Products > CiscoWorks Common Services Software > CiscoWorks Common Services Software 3.3" and then the choice of Solaris or Windows, depending on your operating system. 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 access control lists (tACLs) can be used to allow access to the Administration Workstation only from trusted hosts. This mitigation limits the attack surface of the vulnerability. Filters that deny 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 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 that only traffic from a trusted client is allowed. Note: Additional information about tACLs is available in "Transit Access Control Lists: Filtering at Your Edge" at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_white_paper09186a00801afc76.shtml Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the network are available in the Cisco Applied Intelligence companion document for this Advisory: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20101027-cs.shtml Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability.
