This advisory is posted at: http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20120118-dmm Affected Products ================= Vulnerable Products +------------------ The following table indicates which versions of Cisco Digital Media Manager are affected by this vulnerability: +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Version | Affected | |---------------------------------------+---------------------------| | prior to 5.2 | YES | |---------------------------------------+---------------------------| | 5.2.1 | YES | |---------------------------------------+---------------------------| | 5.2.1.1 | YES | |---------------------------------------+---------------------------| | 5.2.2 | YES | |---------------------------------------+---------------------------| | 5.2.2.1 | NO | |---------------------------------------+---------------------------| | 5.2.3 | YES | |---------------------------------------+---------------------------| | 5.3 | NO | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ Note: Cisco Digital Media Manager versions prior to 5.2 reached end of software maintenance. Customers running versions prior to 5.2 should contact their Cisco support team for assistance in upgrading to a supported version of Cisco Digital Media Manager. The version information is reported under "Digital Media Manager" in the center of the page. Optionally administrators can log in to the Appliance Administration Interface (AAI), and access the main menu. BACKUP_AND_RESTORE Back up and restore. APPLIANCE_CONTROL Configure advance options NETWORK_SETTINGS Configure network parameters. DATE_TIME_SETTINGS Configure date and time CERTIFICATE_MANAGEMENT Manage all certificates in the system < OK > <LOG OUT> Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable +-------------------------------- No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this vulnerability. It allows users to remotely perform management tasks for Cisco Digital Signs, Cisco Cast, and Cisco Show and Share. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of unreferenced URLs, which may allow an unprivileged attacker to access administrative resources and elevate privileges. An authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending the unreferenced URL to the affected system. Cisco Show and Share is not directly affected by this vulnerability. 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 * CSCts63878 - Digital Media Manager Privilege Escalation Vulnerability CVSS Base Score - 9.0 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - Single Confidentiality Impact - Complete Integrity Impact - Complete Availability Impact - Complete CVSS Temporal Score - 7.4 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed Impact ====== Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow a remote, authenticated attacker to elevate privileges and obtain full access to the affected system. Software Versions and Fixes =========================== Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. The following table contains the remediation for each affected version of Cisco Digital Media Manager: +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Version | Remediation | |-------------------+-----------------------------------------------| | 5.2.1 | Upgrade to 5.2.2.1 | |-------------------+-----------------------------------------------| | 5.2.1.1 | Upgrade to 5.2.2.1 | |-------------------+-----------------------------------------------| | 5.2.2 | Upgrade to 5.2.2.1 | |-------------------+-----------------------------------------------| | 5.2.3 | DMM523_PATCH-A.iso | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ When considering software upgrades, also consult: http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt And any subsequent advisories to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution.

Workarounds =========== There are no workarounds that mitigate this vulnerability. Additional mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the network are available in the Cisco Applied Intelligence companion document for this advisory: http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoAppliedMitigationBulletin/cisco-amb-20120118-dmm Obtaining Fixed Software ======================== Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability described in this advisory. Prior to deploying software, customers are advised to consult their maintenance providers or check the software for feature set compatibility and known issues that are specific to their environments. Customers may only install and expect support for feature sets they have purchased. By installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco software license at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html Or as set forth at: http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-usingswc.shtml Do not contact psirt@cisco.com or security-alert@cisco.com for software upgrades. Customers with Service Contracts +------------------------------- Customers with contracts should obtain upgraded software through their regular update channels. For most customers, upgrades should be obtained through the Software Center on Cisco.com at: http://www.cisco.com Customers Using Third-Party Support Organizations +------------------------------------------------ Customers with Cisco products that are provided or maintained through prior or existing agreements with third-party support organizations, such as Cisco Partners, authorized resellers, or service providers, should contact that organization for assistance with the appropriate course of action. The effectiveness of any workaround or fix depends on specific customer situations, such as product mix, network topology, traffic behavior, and organizational mission. Because of the variety of affected products and releases, customers should consult their service providers or support organizations to ensure that any applied workaround or fix is the most appropriate in the intended network before it is deployed.
