TITLE

Cisco Unified Communications Manager In SQL Injection vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

SQL injection vulnerability in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (aka CUCM, formerly CallManager) 6.x before 6.1(5)su2, 7.x before 7.1(5)su1, 8.0 before 8.0(3), and 8.5 before 8.5(1) allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified vectors, aka Bug ID CSCtg85647. The problem is Bug ID CSCtg85647 It is a problem.Any user by remote authenticated user SQL The command may be executed. Exploiting this issue could allow an authenticated attacker to compromise the affected device, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database. This issue is tracked by Cisco Bug ID CSCtg85647. A workaround exists only for the SIP DoS vulnerabilities. This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20110427-cucm.shtml. No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities. Details ======= Cisco Unified Communications Manager is the call processing component of the Cisco IP Telephony solution that extends enterprise telephony features and functions to packet telephony network devices such as IP phones, media processing devices, VoIP gateways, and multimedia applications. Each vulnerability is triggered by a malformed SIP message that could cause a critical process to fail, resulting in the disruption of voice services. All SIP ports (TCP ports 5060 and 5061 and UDP ports 5060 and 5061) are affected. The first SIP DoS vulnerability is documented in Cisco Bug ID CSCti42904 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier CVE-2011-1604. An authenticated, remote attacker with the ability to intercept a packet to the affected device could specify a different location or filename, which may result in the upload of a malicious file. * The second vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to modify system configuration; create, modify, and delete users; or modify the configuration of Cisco Unified Communications Manager. 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 * CSCth39586 ("Core dump when processing certain SIP 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 * CSCtg62855 ("Core dump when processing certain SIP 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 * CSCti42904 ("Memory leak may be experienced when processing certain SIP packets") CVSS Base Score - 7.1 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Medium Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - None Integrity Impact - None Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 5.9 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed * CSCti81603 ("Cisco Unified Reporting fails to prohibit uploading of files") CVSS Base Score - 6.5 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - Single Confidentiality Impact - Partial Integrity Impact - Partial Availability Impact - Partial CVSS Temporal Score - 5.4 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed * CSCtg85647 ("Database Security Issue") CVSS Base Score - 8.5 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Medium Authentication - Single Confidentiality Impact - Complete Integrity Impact - Complete Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 7.0 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed * CSCtj42064 ("Potential SQL Injection") CVSS Base Score - 6.4 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - Partial Integrity Impact - Partial Availability Impact - None CVSS Temporal Score - 5.3 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities that are described in this advisory could result in the interruption of voice services, privilege escalation and possible data modification. In the case of DoS attacks, the affect Cisco Unified Communications Manager processes will restart, but repeated attacks may 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. When considering software upgrades, also consult http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt and any subsequent advisories to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution. Cisco recommends upgrading to a release equal to or later than the release in the "Recommended Releases" column of the table. Workarounds =========== A workaround exists only for the SIP DoS vulnerabilities. SIP processing is enabled by default. Customers who do not use SIP processing can use the following instructions to disable SIP processing: * Step 1: Log into the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration web interface. * Step 3: Change the "SIP Interoperability Enabled" parameter to False, and click "Save". Note: For a SIP processing change to take effect, the Cisco CallManager Service must be restarted. For information on how to restart the service, refer to the "Restarting the Cisco CallManager Service" section of the document at the following location: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/admin/7_1_2/ccmcfg/b03dpi.html#wp1075124 It is possible to mitigate these vulnerabilities by implementing filtering on screening devices and permitting access to TCP ports 5060 and 5061 and UDP ports 5060 and 5061 only from networks that require SIP access to Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers. Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices in the network are available in the companion document "Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin: Identifying and Mitigating Exploitation of the Multiple Vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified Communications Manager" which is available at the following location: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20110427-cucm.shtml Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities.
