Cisco will release free software updates that address this vulnerability on September 30th, 2011. There is no workaround for this vulnerability. This advisory is posted at: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20110920-ise.shtml Affected Products ================= Vulnerable Products +------------------ This vulnerability affects all releases of Cisco ISE prior to release 1.0.4.MR2. This applies to both the hardware appliance and the software-only versions of the product. The following methods can be used to determine which Cisco ISE release is installed: * From the Cisco ISE command-line interface (CLI), issue the show application version ise command, as shown in the following example: ise-node1/admin# show application version ise Cisco Identity Services Engine --------------------------------------------- Version : 1.0.4.558 Build Date : Thu 18 Aug 2011 04:41:15 PM EST Install Date : Fri 16 Sep 2011 01:38:48 PM EST ise-node1/admin# Based on the output of the show application version ise on the previous example, the installed Cisco ISE release is 1.0.4.588. * From the Cisco ISE web-based interface, log in and click on the "Help" button located at the bottom left corner of the screen. From the resulting menu, select "About Identity Services Engine". Version information is displayed on the resulting window under the "Identity Services Engine" heading. Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this vulnerability. Details ======= The Cisco Identity Services Engine provides an attribute-based access control solution that combines authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA); posture; profiling; and guest management services on a single platform. Administrators can centrally create and manage access control policies for users and endpoints in a consistent fashion, and gain end-to-end visibility into everything that is connected to the network. The Cisco ISE contains a set of default credentials for its underlying database. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco bug ID CSCts59135 and has been assigned the CVE identifier CVE-2011-3290. Vulnerability Scoring Details +---------------------------- Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerability 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 * Default credentials for Oracle database on ISE CVSS Base Score - 10 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - Complete Integrity Impact - Complete Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 9.5 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Unavailable Report Confidence - Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an attacker to modify the device configuration and settings or gain complete administrative control of the device. 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. This vulnerability is fixed in software release 1.0.4.MR2, which will be available on September 30th, 2011. Cisco ISE release 1.0.4.MR2 will be made available in two formats: * as an ISO image containing a complete installation image, which can be used for a new install or for completely reimaging an existing installation. * as an application bundle that can be used to upgrade an existing Cisco ISE release 1.0 (1.0.3.377) or Cisco ISE release 1.0MR (1.0.4.558) installation to Cisco ISE release 1.0.4.MR2. Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the network are available in the Cisco Applied Intelligence companion document fot this advisory: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-20110920-ise.shtml Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities.
