CVSS V2: 10.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Cisco ACE 4710 Application Control Engine Appliance before A1(8a) uses default (1) usernames and (2) passwords for (a) the administrator, (b) web management, and (c) device management, which makes it easier for remote attackers to perform configuration changes to the Device Manager and other components, or obtain operating-system access. Cisco ACE Application Control Engine Module and Cisco ACE 4710 Application Control Engine are prone to multiple remote vulnerabilities:
- Multiple authentication-bypass issues
- A remote privilege-escalation issue
- Multiple denial-of-service issues
Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary commands, gain administrative access, and cause denial-of-service conditions. Other attacks are also possible. Workarounds that mitigate some of the vulnerabilities are
available.
Note: These vulnerabilities are independent of each other. A device
may be affected by one vulnerability and not affected by another.

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
The Cisco ACE XML Gateway, the Cisco ACE Web Application Firewall,
and the Cisco ACE GSS 4400 Series Global Site Selector Appliances are
not affected by any of the vulnerabilities that are described in this
advisory. No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected
by these vulnerabilities. Multiple
vulnerabilities exist in both products. The following information
provides the details about each of the vulnerabilities that are
addressed in this advisory. The appliance and module do not prompt users
to modify system account passwords during the initial configuration
process. An attacker with knowledge of these accounts could modify
the application configuration and, in certain instances, gain user
access to the host operating system. This vulnerability is documented in Cisco Bug
ID CSCsq32379 ( registered customers only) and has also been assigned
the Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2009-0621. An
authenticated user could exploit this vulnerability to invoke
administrative commands via the device command line interface (CLI).
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the device to
reload by sending a crafted SSH packet to it.
Note: SSH access must be configured on the affected device for it to
be vulnerable. SSH access is not enabled by default. A full TCP
three-way handshake is not necessary to trigger the effects of this
vulnerability.
An authenticated attacker could send a crafted SNMPv1 packet to an
affected device to cause it to reload.
Note: SNMPv2c must be explicitly configured in an affected device in
order to process any SNMPv2c transactions. SNMPv2c is not enabled by
default.
An where an attacker may could cause the a device to reload by
sending a crafted SNMPv3 packet to it.
Note: SNMPv3 must be explicitly configured in an affected device in
order to process any SNMPv3 transactions. SNMPv3 is not enabled by
default.

Workarounds
===========
This Security Advisory describes multiple distinct vulnerabilities.
These vulnerabilities and their respective workarounds are
independent of each other.
Default Usernames and Passwords
+------------------------------
To change the default administrative password, use the username
command in configuration mode. The syntax of this command is as
follows:
username admin [password [0 | 5] {password}]
The keywords, arguments, and options are:
admin--Specifies the default administrative user name.
password--(Optional) Keyword that indicates that a password follows.
0--(Optional) Specifies a clear text password.
5--(Optional) Specifies an MD5-hashed strong encryption password.
password--The password in clear text, encrypted text, or MD5 strong
encryption, depending on the numbered option (0 or 5) that you enter.
If you do not enter a numbered option, the password is in clear text
by default. Enter a password as an unquoted text string with a
maximum of 64 characters.
For example, to create a user named admin that uses the clear text
password my_super_secret_88312, enter the following command:
ACE(config)# username admin password 0 my_super_secret_88312
Note: This process can also be followed to change the www user
account credentials. The dm user is for accessing the Device Manager
GUI and cannot be modified or deleted. The dm user is an internal
user required by the Device Manager GUI; it is hidden on the ACE CLI.
For more information refer to:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/ace_appliances/vA3_1_0/configuration/virtualization/guide/config.html
Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
+---------------------------------
There are no workarounds for this vulnerability.
Crafted SSH Packet Vulnerability
+-------------------------------
SSH management traffic that can be received by the ACE is controlled
through the use of class maps, policy maps, and service policies.
This Management Traffic Service example denies unauthorized SSH
packets that are sent to an affected device. In the following
example, 192.168.100.1 is considered a trusted source that requires
SSH access to the affected device. Care should be taken to allow all
required management access to the affected device. An attacker could
exploit this vulnerability using spoofed packets. This workaround
cannot provide complete protection against this vulnerability when
the attack comes from a trusted source address.
The following example demonstrates how SSH access to the ACE is only
allowed from the 192.168.100.1 host:
!-- Configure a class to allow SSH from the trusted source
!
class-map type management match-all Permit_SSH_Class
description Allow SSH from trusted sources Class
match protocol ssh source-address 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.255
!
!-- Configure a management policy that allows ssh from the
!--trusted source configured in the above class
!
policy-map type management first-match Permit_SSH_Policy
description Allow SSH from trusted sources Policy
class Permit_SSH_Class
permit
!
!-- Apply the management policy globally
!
service-policy input Permit_SSH_Policy

Additional information about "Configuring Class Maps and Policy Maps"
is available at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/services_modules/ace/v3.00_A1/configuration/administration/guide/mapolcy.html
warning Warning: It is possible to easily spoof the sender's IP
address, which may defeat class maps and access control lists (ACLs)
that permit communication to the device from trusted IP addresses.
Crafted SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 Packet Vulnerabilities
+-----------------------------------------------
SNMP management traffic that can be received by the ACE is controlled
through the use of class maps, policy maps, and service policies.
This Management Traffic Service example denies unauthorized SNMP
packets on UDP port 161 that are sent to an affected device. In the
following example, 192.168.100.1 is considered a trusted source that
requires SNMP access to the affected device. Care should be taken to
allow all required management access to the affected device. An
attacker could exploit this vulnerability using spoofed packets. This
workaround cannot provide complete protection against this
vulnerability when the attack comes from a trusted source address.
!-- Configure a class to allow SNMP from the trusted source
!
class-map type management match-all Permit_SNMP_Class
description Allow SNMP from trusted sources Class
2 match protocol snmp source-address 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.255
!
!-- Configure a management policy that allows snmp from the
!--trusted source configured in the above class
!
policy-map type management first-match Permit_SNMP_Policy
description Allow SNMP from trusted sources Policy
class Permit_SNMP_Class
permit
!-- Apply the management policy globally
!
service-policy input Permit_SNMP_Policy

VAR-200902-0667 | CVE-2009-0744 | Apple Safari Denial of service in Japan (DoS) Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 5.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Apple Safari 4 Beta build 528.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a feeds: URI beginning with a (1) % (percent), (2) { (open curly bracket), (3) } (close curly bracket), (4) ^ (caret), (5) ` (backquote), or (6) | (pipe) character, followed by an & (ampersand) character. Apple Safari is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability that stems from a NULL-pointer dereference.
Attackers can exploit this issue to crash the affected application, denying service to legitimate users.
Apple Safari 4 Beta is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. Safari is the web browser bundled by default in the Apple family operating system. Malformed feeds in Apple Safari: URI Null Pointer Reference Denial of Service Vulnerability. Since the user input provided in the feeds: URI is not adequately filtered, if the user is tricked into following a malicious link, a null pointer dereference will be triggered, causing the Safari process to crash
VAR-200902-0677 | CVE-2008-4308 | Apache Tomcat POST Data Information Disclosure Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 2.6 CVSS V3: - Severity: LOW |
The doRead method in Apache Tomcat 4.1.32 through 4.1.34 and 5.5.10 through 5.5.20 does not return a -1 to indicate when a certain error condition has occurred, which can cause Tomcat to send POST content from one request to a different request. Apache Tomcat from The Apache Software Foundation contains an information disclosure vulnerability. Apache Tomcat from the Apache Software Foundation is an implementation of the Java Servlet and JavaServer Page (JSP) technologies. This vulnerability was addressed and solved in ASF Bugzilla - Bug 40771. However there was no description regarding this vulnerability in ASF Bugzilla - Bug 40771. Therefore, The Apache Tomcat Development Team has decided to publish an advisory regarding this issue.A remote attacker could possibly obtain user credentials such as password, session ID, user ID, etc. According to the developer, unsupported Apache Tomcat 3.x, 4.0.x, and 5.0.x may also be affected. They have confirmed that Apache Tomcat 6.0.x is not affected.
Remote attackers can exploit this issue to obtain sensitive data stored on the server. Information obtained may lead to further attacks. Publication of this issue was then
postponed until now at the request of the reporter. For
a vulnerability to exist the content read from the input stream must be
disclosed, eg via writing it to the response and committing the
response, before the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException occurs which will
halt processing of the request.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to:
4.1.35 or later
5.5.21 or later
6.0.0 or later
Example:
See original bug report for example of how to create the error condition.
Credit:
This issue was discovered by Fujitsu and reported to the Tomcat Security
Team via JPCERT.

VAR-200902-0564 | CVE-2009-0524 | Adobe RoboHelp and RoboHelp Server Vulnerable to cross-site scripting |
CVSS V2: 4.3 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Adobe RoboHelp 6 and 7, and RoboHelp Server 6 and 7, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving files produced by RoboHelp. Adobe RoboHelp is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.
An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of a site that includes content generated by the affected application. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.
Adobe RoboHelp 6 and 7 are vulnerable. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

VAR-200902-0691 | No CVE | Huawei E960 HSDPA Router SMS Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 5.0 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
The Huawei E960 is a small dual-mode wireless gateway and USB modem. Huawei E960 routers allow sending and receiving text messages through their web interface, but the first 32 characters of each text message are displayed without escaping in the inbox view, so remote attackers can perform cross-sites by sending malicious text messages. Script attack. In addition, the attacker can also merge multiple messages by injecting a javascript commentary by sending multiple text messages to bypass the 32-character limit. After being attacked, you cannot use the Inbox page to delete the received text message because the delete key is no longer valid. You must use the username admin and password admin telnet to the router to move text messages. The Huawei E960 uses the busybox shell, so you can use the standard rm command to move text messages (located at /tmp/sms/inbox_sms) before you can delete them from the inbox page. Huawei E960 HSDPA Router is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because the device's web-based interface fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.
Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.
Huawei E960 HSDPA Router with firmware 246.11.04.11.110sp04 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected
VAR-200903-0332 | CVE-2009-0801 | Intercepting proxy servers may incorrectly rely on HTTP headers to make connections |
CVSS V2: 5.4 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Squid, when transparent interception mode is enabled, uses the HTTP Host header to determine the remote endpoint, which allows remote attackers to bypass access controls for Flash, Java, Silverlight, and probably other technologies, and possibly communicate with restricted intranet sites, via a crafted web page that causes a client to send HTTP requests with a modified Host header. HTTP of Host A transparent proxy server that relays the connection destination based on the header value may be exploited by an attacker. HTTP of Host Header is RFC 2616 Multiple web sites on a web server IP Used to enable address sharing. The transparent proxy server relays the network connection regardless of the browser settings. Some transparent proxy servers Host Some of them determine the connection destination based on the header value. Flash And Java Browser plug-ins such as these restrict communication by dynamic content executed on the browser to only the site or domain where the content was placed. Attackers use dynamic content, HTTP Host You can craft header values. The proxy server Host When making a decision based on the value of the header, the attacker Host By crafting the header, you can connect to any site. Attackers conduct attacks by directing users to sites with malicious dynamic content or by embedding malicious dynamic content in sites that they believe can be trusted. This issue only affects transparent proxy servers. In addition, browser Same Origin Policy Authentication information by attackers (cookie Such ) Reuse of is considered impossible.An attacker could access websites and resources that can be reached from the proxy. These sites may also include internal resources located on the intranet.
Attackers may exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information such as internal intranet webpages. Additional attacks may also be possible.

VAR-200904-0328 | CVE-2009-1211 | Intercepting proxy servers may incorrectly rely on HTTP headers to make connections |
CVSS V2: 5.8 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Blue Coat ProxySG, when transparent interception mode is enabled, uses the HTTP Host header to determine the remote endpoint, which allows remote attackers to bypass access controls for Flash, Java, Silverlight, and probably other technologies, and possibly communicate with restricted intranet sites, via a crafted web page that causes a client to send HTTP requests with a modified Host header. Proxy servers running in interception mode ("transparent" proxies) that make connection decisions based on HTTP header values may be used by an attacker to relay connections. Multiple HTTP proxy implementations are prone to an information-disclosure vulnerability related to the interpretation of the 'Host' HTTP header. Specifically, this issue occurs when the proxy makes a forwarding decision based on the 'Host' HTTP header instead of the destination IP address.
Attackers may exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information such as internal intranet webpages. Additional attacks may also be possible.

As a workaround, the vendor recommends to "configure Guardian to
block their internal web servers without passwords using hostname and

VAR-200905-0074 | CVE-2009-0943 | Apple Mac OS X Help Viewer vulnerable to arbitrary code execution |
CVSS V2: 6.8 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Help Viewer in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5 before 10.5.7 does not verify that HTML pathnames are located in a registered help book, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a help: URL that triggers invocation of AppleScript files. Apple Mac OS X is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability.
An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting victim to open a malicious 'help:' URI.
A successful exploit will allow the attacker to execute arbitrary AppleScript code. This may lead to the execution of arbitrary code or aid in further attacks.
NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 34926 (Apple Mac OS X 2009-002 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own record to better document it.
The security update addresses new vulnerabilities that affect Apple Type Services, CFNetwork, CoreGraphics, Disk Images, Help Viewer, iChat, ICU, Kernel, Launch Services, QuickDraw Manager, and Spotlight components of Mac OS X. The advisory also contains security updates for 47 previously reported issues.
I.
II. Impact
The impacts of these vulnerabilities vary. Potential consequences
include arbitrary code execution, sensitive information disclosure,
denial of service, or privilege escalation.

VAR-200905-0073 | CVE-2009-0942 | Apple Mac OS X Help Viewer vulnerable to arbitrary code execution |
CVSS V2: 6.8 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Help Viewer in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5 before 10.5.7 does not verify that certain Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are located in a registered help book, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a help: URL that triggers invocation of AppleScript files. Apple Mac OS X is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability.
An attacker can exploit this issues by enticing an unsuspecting victim to open a malicious 'help:' URI.
A successful exploit will allow the attacker to execute arbitrary AppleScript code. This may lead to the execution of arbitrary code or aid in further attacks.
NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 34926 (Apple Mac OS X 2009-002 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own record to better document it.
The security update addresses new vulnerabilities that affect Apple Type Services, CFNetwork, CoreGraphics, Disk Images, Help Viewer, iChat, ICU, Kernel, Launch Services, QuickDraw Manager, and Spotlight components of Mac OS X. The advisory also contains security updates for 47 previously reported issues.
I.
II. Impact
The impacts of these vulnerabilities vary. Potential consequences
include arbitrary code execution, sensitive information disclosure,
denial of service, or privilege escalation.
III. These and other updates are available via Software
Update or via Apple Downloads.

VAR-200905-0067 | CVE-2009-0161 | Apple Mac OS X of Ruby Vulnerable to accepting invalid certificates |
CVSS V2: 6.4 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
The OpenSSL::OCSP module for Ruby in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.7 misinterprets an unspecified invalid response as a successful OCSP certificate validation, which might allow remote attackers to spoof certificate authentication via a revoked certificate.
The security update addresses new vulnerabilities that affect Apple Type Services, CFNetwork, CoreGraphics, Disk Images, Help Viewer, iChat, ICU, Kernel, Launch Services, QuickDraw Manager, and Spotlight components of Mac OS X. The advisory also contains security updates for 47 previously reported issues. Ruby is prone to an X.509 certificate-verification vulnerability.
Exploiting this issue may allow an attacker to have a revoked x.509 certificate accepted as valid. This may allow the attacker to conduct phishing attacks or to impersonate legitimate sites. Other attacks are also possible.
Ruby 1.8.7 and 1.9.1 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. Ruby is a powerful object-oriented scripting language. Ruby does not verify X.509 certificates correctly, use the openssl function in ext/openssl/ossl_ocsp.c file as follows: result = OCSP_basic_verify(bs, x509s, x509st, flg); sk_X509_pop_free(x509s, X509_free); if(! result) rb_warn("%s", ERR_error_string(ERR_peek_error(), NULL)); return result ? Qtrue : Qfalse; OCSP_basic_verify() may return 0 and -1 in case of error, so this function may return incorrect information.
I.
II. Impact
The impacts of these vulnerabilities vary. Potential consequences
include arbitrary code execution, sensitive information disclosure,
denial of service, or privilege escalation.
III. These and other updates are available via Software
Update or via Apple Downloads.

VAR-200905-0054 | CVE-2009-0158 | Apple Mac OS X of telnet Hostname handling buffer overflow vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 6.8 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Stack-based buffer overflow in telnet in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5 before 10.5.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long hostname for a telnet server.
An attacker can exploit this issue by tricking a victim into connecting to a malicious server via the telnet command.
A successful exploit will allow attacker-supplied code to run in the context of the user running the affected command. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities that have been addressed in Security Update 2009-002.
The security update addresses new vulnerabilities that affect Apple Type Services, CFNetwork, CoreGraphics, Disk Images, Help Viewer, iChat, ICU, Kernel, Launch Services, QuickDraw Manager, and Spotlight components of Mac OS X. The advisory also contains security updates for 47 previously reported issues.

VAR-200905-0051 | CVE-2009-0155 | Apple Mac OS X of CoreGraphics Integer overflow vulnerability |
CVSS V2: 6.8 CVSS V3: - Severity: MEDIUM |
Integer underflow in CoreGraphics in Apple Mac OS X 10.5 before 10.5.7, iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.2.1, and iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.2.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted PDF file that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. Apple Mac OS X is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities that have been addressed in Security Update 2009-002.
The security update addresses new vulnerabilities that affect Apple Type Services, CFNetwork, CoreGraphics, Disk Images, Help Viewer, iChat, ICU, Kernel, Launch Services, QuickDraw Manager, and Spotlight components of Mac OS X. The advisory also contains security updates for 47 previously reported issues.
An attacker can exploit this issue by tricking a victim into opening a specially crafted PDF file.
A successful attack will allow attacker-supplied code to run in the context of the victim opening the file.

VAR-200905-0043 | CVE-2009-0010 | Apple Mac OS X of QuickDraw Manager and Apple QuickTime Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution |
CVSS V2: 9.3 CVSS V3: - Severity: HIGH |
Integer underflow in QuickDraw Manager in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5 before 10.5.7, and Apple QuickTime before 7.6.2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a PICT image with a crafted 0x77 Poly tag and a crafted length field, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. While processing data for opcode 0x71 QuickTime trusts a value contained in the file and makes an allocation accordingly. By providing a malicious value this buffer can be undersized and subsequently can be overflowed leading to arbitrary code execution under the context of the user running QuickTime. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple QuickTime. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.The specific flaw exists when the application parses a malformed .PICT image. While decoding a tag 0x77 in the image, the application misuses a 16-bit length when allocating tag data. When copying tag data into this buffer, a heap overflow occurs. This can lead to code execution under the context of the current user. The QuickDraw component of Apple Mac OS X is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability.
An attacker can exploit this issue by tricking a victim into opening a specially crafted PICT image file. A successful exploit will allow arbitrary attacker-supplied code to run in the context of the victim running the affected application.
NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 34926 (Apple Mac OS X 2009-002 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own record to better document it. The way PICT graphics are handled has an integer underflow that can lead to a heap overflow, and opening a malicious PICT graphic could lead to unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution.
