TITLE

Cisco Telepresence System Integrator C of cuil Component buffer overflow vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Buffer overflow in the cuil component in Cisco Telepresence System Integrator C Series 4.x before TC4.2.0 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (endpoint reboot or process crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long location parameter to the getxml program, aka Bug ID CSCtq46496. Cisco Telepresence System Integrator C of cuil The component contains a buffer overflow vulnerability. Cisco TelePresence Endpoint is prone to memory-corruption and HTML-injection vulnerabilities. An attacker can exploit the HTML-injection issue to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials. Other attacks are also possible. An attacker can exploit the memory-corruption issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions. The solution provides components such as audio and video spaces, which can provide remote participants with a "face-to-face" virtual meeting room effect. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ovum says ad hoc tools are out-dated.

This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed on an affected device when the malicious data is being viewed. 2) An error in the tshell application can be exploited to dereference an invalid memory address via overly long strings passed via the "location" parameter to the getXML script. The vulnerabilities are reported in version 4.1.2 and prior. SOLUTION: Update to version 4.2.0, which fixes vulnerability #2. Filter malicious characters and character sequences using a proxy.

Sense of Security - Security Advisory - SOS-11-010 Release Date. 19-Sep-2011 Last Update. - Vendor Notification Date. 21-Feb-2011 Product. Cisco Affected versions. C <= TC4.1.2, MXP <= F9.1 Severity Rating. Low - Medium Impact. Cookie/credential theft, impersonation, loss of confidentiality, client-side code execution, denial of service. Solution Status. Vendor patch References. 1. CVE-2011-2544 (CSCtq46488) 2. CVE-2011-2543 (CSCtq46496) 3. CVE-2011-2577 (CSCtq46500) Details. Cisco TelePresence is an umbrella term for Video Conferencing Hardware and Software, Infrastructure and Endpoints. The C & MXP Series are the Endpoints used on desks or in boardrooms to provide users with a termination point for Video Conferencing. 1. Post-authentication HTML Injection - CVE-2011-2544 (CSCtq46488): Cisco TelePresence Endpoints have a web interface (HTTP or HTTPS) for managing, configuring and reporting. It is possible to set the Call ID (with H.323 or SIP) to a HTML value. If a call is made to another endpoint and an authenticated user browses to the web interface on the endpoint receiving the call (e.g. to view call statistics), the HTML will render locally within the context of the logged in user. From this point it is possible to make changes to the system as the authenticated user. The flaw is due to the flexibility of the H.323 ID or SIP Display Name fields and failure to correctly validate user input. Examples (MXP): Rebooting the system: <IMG SRC="/reboot&Yes=please"> The attacker may also choose to change passwords in the system, disable encryption or enable telnet: <IMG SRC=/html_select_status?reload=other.ssi&telnet=On> <IMG SRC=/html_select_status?reload=security.ssi&/Configuration/ Conference/Encryption/Mode=Off&/Configuration/SystemUnit/Password=test> 2. Post-authentication Memory Corruption - CVE-2011-2543 (CSCtq46496): Cisco TelePresence systems (Endpoints and Infrastructure) use XPath for setting and getting configuration. Example syntax is: http://ip/getxml?location=/Configuration/Video The request is sent to a locally listening shell (tshell). This is the case for all requests relating to performing an action on the system (e.g. config get or set). The shell then sends the input to the "main" application (/app/main, id=0), and the data is passed as a parameter. It was discovered that the getXML handle does not properly perform length checking on the user supplied input before passing it to the tshell. Furthermore, there is no length checking performed in the tshell and no bounds checking performed in the main application where the parameter is consumed. As such, it is possible to send input that exceeds the size of the receiving buffer, subsequently causing an invalid address to be read. This causes a reboot on the Endpoints. The VCS will not reboot, the process will crash by SIGSEGV (or sigabrt) but it will restart the process itself which drops all calls. Proof of Concept: GET /wsgi/getxml?location="+("A"*5200)+("\x60"*4)+("X"*4)+"HTTP/1.1\r\n Host: 192.168.6.99\r\n\r\n" Received signal SIGSEGV (11) in thread 0x129e8480, TID 2670 Illegal memory access at: 0x5858585c Registers: GPR00: 00f2c908 129e5960 129ef920 00000005 00000040 0000000c 00000037 0f315580 GPR08: 00000005 129e5a70 129e5a80 58585858 0f3272d4 11589858 129e6896 0000000b GPR16: 129e6084 11164a1c 00000000 129e6894 00000037 1299ca18 00000005 00000002 GPR24: 129e59a8 00000002 0f3ea3a4 129e5a64 00000037 00000005 0f410bac 129e5960 GPR24: 129e59a8 00000002 0f3ea3a4 129e5a64 00000037 00000005 0f410bac 129e5960 NIP: 0f39abc8 MSR: 0000d032 OGPR3: 00000002 As you can see, the crash string is passed as a parameter in GPR 8. 3. Pre-authentication SIP Denial of Service - CVE-2011-2577 (CSCtq46500): Cisco TelePresence Endpoints utilise SIP for the call setup protocol. Sending a SIP INVITE with a 4x8 a"s in the MAC Address field and the receive field causes the system to reboot. Proof of Concept: MXP: Exception 0x1100 : Data TLB load miss Active task FsmMain FSM process : SipTrnsp(0) FSM message : SipTrnsp_Send_Msg_Req from SipTrnsp(0) Data TLB miss (DMISS) : 0x00000000 (illegal addr. accessed) Solution.
