TITLE

Cisco Unified Service Monitor Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified Service Monitor before 8.6, as used in Unified Operations Manager before 8.6 and CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution 3.x and 4.x before 4.1; and multiple EMC Ionix products including Application Connectivity Monitor (Ionix ACM) 2.3 and earlier, Adapter for Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM EMS (Ionix ASAM) 3.2.0.2 and earlier, IP Management Suite (Ionix IP) 8.1.1.1 and earlier, and other Ionix products; allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted packets to TCP port 9002, aka Bug IDs CSCtn42961 and CSCtn64922, related to a buffer overflow. Cisco Unified Operations Manager and CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution Used in Cisco Unified Service Monitor Contains a vulnerability that allows arbitrary code execution. The problem is Bug ID CSCtn42961 and CSCtn64922 It is a problem.Skillfully crafted by a third party TCP port 9002 Arbitrary code could be executed via packets. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.The flaw exists within the brstart.exe service which listens by default on TCP port 9002. When handling an add_dm request the process uses a user provided value to allocate a buffer then blindly copies user supplied data into a fixed-length buffer on the heap. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the casuser user. Multiple EMC Ionix applications are prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability. Successful exploits will result in the complete compromise of affected applications. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. The following applications are affected. Ionix Application Connectivity Monitor (Ionix ACM) version 2.3 and prior Ionix Adapter for Alcatel-Lucent 5620 SAM EMS (Ionix ASAM) version 3.2.0.2 and prior Ionix IP Management Suite (Ionix IP) version 8.1.1.1 and prior Ionix IPv6 Management Suite (Ionix IPv6) version 2.0.2 and prior Ionix MPLS Management Suite (Ionix MPLS) version 4.0.0 and prior Ionix Multicast Manager (Ionix MCAST) version 2.1 and prior Ionix Network Protocol Management Suite version (Ionix NPM) 3.1 and prior Ionix Optical Transport Management Suite version (Ionix OTM) 5.1 and prior Ionix Server Manager (EISM) version 3.0 and prior Ionix Service Assurance Management Suite (Ionix SAM) version 8.1.0.6 and prior Ionix Storage Insight for Availability Suite (Ionix SIA) version 2.3.1 and prior Ionix VoIP Availability Management Suite (Ionix VoIP AM) version 4.0.0.3 and prior. Details ======= CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution is an integrated suite of management functions that simplifies the configuration, administration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of a network. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ESA-2011-029: Buffer overflow vulnerability in multiple EMC Ionix products. EMC will communicate the fixes for all other affected products as they become available. Regularly check EMC Knowledgebase solution emc274245 for the status of these fixes. Link to remedies: Registered EMC Powerlink customers can download software from Powerlink. For EMC Ionix Software, navigate in Powerlink to Home > Support > Software Downloads and Licensing > Downloads E-I Because the view is restricted based on customer agreements, you may not have permission to view certain downloads. Should you not see a software download you believe you should have access to, follow the instructions in EMC Knowledgebase solution emc116045. Credits: EMC would like to thank Abdul Aziz Hariri working with TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative (http://www.zerodayinitiative.com) for reporting this issue. For explanation of Severity Ratings, refer to EMC Knowledgebase solution emc218831. EMC Corporation distributes EMC Security Advisories in order to bring to the attention of users of the affected EMC products important security information. EMC recommends all users determine the applicability of this information to their individual situations and take appropriate action. In no event shall EMC or its suppliers be liable for any damages whatsoever including direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, loss of business profits or special damages, even if EMC or its suppliers have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages so the foregoing limitation may not apply. Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds available to mitigate these vulnerabilities. This advisory is posted at: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20110914-cusm.shtml Note: CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution is also affected by these vulnerabilities. The Software Update page displays the licensing and software version. They provides a way to continuously monitor active calls supported by the Cisco Unified Communications System. Both of these vulnerabilities are documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtn42961 ( registered customers only) and have been assigned CVE ID CVE-2011-2738. 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 * CSCtn42961 - Cisco Unified Service Monitor Remote Code Execution CVSS Base Score - 10 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - Complete Integrity Impact - Complete Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 8.3 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on affected servers. 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. Mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the network are available in the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin companion document for this advisory, which is available at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-201100914-cusm-lms.shtml Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities.
