TITLE

plural Cisco Product vulnerable to directory traversal

DESCRIPTION

Directory traversal vulnerability in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 5.x and 6.x before 6.1(5)SU2, 7.x before 7.1(5b)SU2, and 8.x before 8.0(3), and Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (aka Unified CCX or UCCX) and Cisco Unified IP Interactive Voice Response (Unified IP-IVR) before 6.0(1)SR1ES8, 7.0(x) before 7.0(2)ES1, 8.0(x) through 8.0(2)SU3, and 8.5(x) before 8.5(1)SU2, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a crafted URL, aka Bug IDs CSCth09343 and CSCts44049. The problem is Bug ID CSCth09343 and CSCts44049 Problem.Expertly crafted by a third party URL Via, arbitrary files may be read. Multiple Cisco products are prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability. Exploiting this issue will allow an attacker to read arbitrary files from locations outside of the application's current directory. This could help the attacker launch further attacks. This issue is tracked by Cisco BugID CSCts44049 and CSCth09343. 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. Revision History ================ +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Revision 1.0 | 2011-October-26 | Initial public release. It is possible for an attacker to use this vector to gain console access to the vulnerable node as the 'ccxcluster' user, and subsequently escalate privileges. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ovum says ad hoc tools are out-dated. The best practice approach? Fast vulnerability intelligence, threat handling, and setup in one tool.

The new location is: http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/publicationListing You can also navigate to this page from the Cisco Products and Services menu of the Cisco Security Intelligence Operations (SIO) Portal. Following this transition, new Cisco Security Advisories and Responses will be published to the new location. Although the URL has changed, the content of security documents and the vulnerability policy are not impacted. Cisco will continue to disclose security vulnerabilities in accordance with the published Security Vulnerability Policy. Affected Products ================= Vulnerable Products +------------------ The following Cisco UCCX versions are vulnerable: * Cisco UCCX version 6.0(x) * Cisco UCCX version 7.0(x) * Cisco UCCX version 8.0(x) * Cisco UCCX version 8.5(x) Note: Cisco UCCX versions prior to 6.0(x) reached end of software maintenance. Customers running versions prior to 6.0(x) should contact their Cisco support team for assistance in upgrading to a supported version of Cisco UCCX. Details ======= The Cisco Unified Contact Center Express is a single/two node server, integrated "contact center in a box" for use in deployments with up to 300 agents until software version 8.0(x) and 400 agents starting at version 8.5(x). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted URL to the affected system. 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 * CSCts44049 - UCCX vulnerable to directory traversal CVSS Base Score - 7.8 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - Complete Integrity Impact - None Availability Impact - None CVSS Temporal Score - 6.4 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to retrieve arbitrary files from the Cisco Unified Contact Center Express or Cisco Unified IP Interactive Voice Response filesystem.
