CVE-2011-2667

TITLE

CA Gateway Security and CA Total Defense Used in CA Gateway Security for HTTP of Icihttp.exe Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

Icihttp.exe in CA Gateway Security for HTTP, as used in CA Gateway Security 8.1 before 8.1.0.69 and CA Total Defense r12, does not properly parse URLs, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption and daemon crash) via a malformed request. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the Icihttp.exe module (CA Gateway Security for HTTP), which responds to incoming HTTP requests on port 8080. Due to a flawed copy-loop algorithm in the URL parsing routine, it is possible for a remote unauthenticated user to cause an exploitable heap corruption condition. This could result in the execution of arbitrary code under the context of the Gateway Security service. Computer Associates Total Defense and Gateway Security are prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. Successfully exploiting this issue will allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges, completely compromising affected computers. Total Defense r12 and Gateway Security 8.1 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. CA has issued an update that resolves the vulnerability. The vulnerability, CVE-2011-2667, occurs due to insufficient bounds checking that can result in a memory overwrite on the heap. By sending a malformed request, an attacker can overwrite a sensitive portion of heap memory, which can potentially result in server compromise. If the version displayed is less than 8.1.0.69, the installation is vulnerable. Solution Gateway Security r8.1: Apply fix RO32642 Alternatively, update to Gateway Security 9.0 available from the CA support site.
