9 - cisco-sa-20120223-srp500

Cisco Small Business (SRP 500) Series Services Ready Platforms contain the following three vulnerabilities:

* Cisco SRP 500 Series Web Interface Command Injection Vulnerability
* Cisco SRP 500 Series Unauthenticated Configuration Upload Vulnerability
* Cisco SRP 500 Series Directory Traversal Vulnerability

These vulnerabilities can be exploited using sessions to the Services Ready Platform Configuration Utility web interface. These vulnerabilities could be exploited from the local LAN side of the SRP device by default configuration and the WAN side of the SRP device if remote management is enabled. Remote management is disabled by default.

Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities.

Workarounds that mitigate these vulnerabilities are available.

Details

Cisco SRP 500 Series devices are a flexible, cost-effective, fixed-configuration customer premises equipment (CPE) with embedded intelligence to enable service providers to create, provision, and deploy premium revenue-generating services to small businesses on an as-needed basis.

Cisco SRP 500 Series devices running affected versions of firmware contain the following three vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities could be exploited from the local LAN side of the SRP device by default configuration and the WAN side of the SRP device if remote management is enabled. Remote management is disabled by default.

Cisco SRP 500 Series Web Interface Command Injection Vulnerability

Cisco SRP 500 Series devices contain a command injection vulnerability that could allow an authenticated session to inject commands to be executed by the operating system.

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by either enticing an administrator to access a crafted link or by performing a man-in-the-middle attack to intercept an authenticated session. An exploit could allow the attacker to execute operating system commands on the device that are run in the context of the root user.

This vulnerability has been documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtt46871 and has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) ID CVE-2012-0363.

Cisco SRP 500 Series Unauthenticated Configuration Upload Vulnerability

Cisco SRP 500 Series devices contain an unauthorized access vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to upload an unauthorized configuration file.

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by first creating a desired configuration file and then uploading it using the unauthenticated URL. An exploit could allow the attacker to alter the configuration of the Cisco SRP 500 Series device.

This vulnerability has been documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtw55495 and has been assigned CVE ID CVE-2012-0364.

Cisco SRP 500 Series Directory Traversal Vulnerability

Cisco SRP 500 Series devices contain a directory traversal vulnerability in the Local TFTP file upload application that could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to upload files to directories in the operating system of the Cisco SRP 500 Series device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing an authenticated user to click on a crafted link or by installing malicious files on the FTP or HTTP server that the administrators of the device may use. An exploit could allow the attacker to install malicious software on the Cisco SRP 500 Series device to launch future attacks.

This vulnerability has been documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtw56009 and has been assigned CVE ID CVE-2012-0365.

Vulnerability Scoring Details

Cisco has scored the vulnerabilities in this advisory based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS scoring in this security advisory is in accordance with CVSS version 2.0.

CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability severity and helps organizations determine the urgency and priority of a response.

Cisco has provided a base and temporal score. Customers can also compute environmental scores that help determine the impact of the vulnerability in their own networks.

Cisco has provided additional information regarding CVSS at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html

Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to compute the environmental impact for individual networks at the following link: http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss

* CSCtt46871 - Cisco SRP 500 Series Web Interface Command Injection 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

* CSCtw55495 - Cisco SRP 500 Series Unauthenticated Configuration Upload Vulnerability

CVSS Base Score - 7.8 Access Vector - Network Access Complexity - Low Authentication - None Confidentiality Impact - None Integrity Impact - Complete Availability Impact - None

CVSS Temporal Score - 6.4 Exploitability - Functional Remediation Level - Official-Fix Report Confidence - Confirmed

* CSCtw56009 - Cisco SRP 500 Series Directory Traversal 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 these vulnerabilities may result in the execution of arbitrary commands on the device or the uploading of files that may be malicious, which may allow the attacker to alter the device configuration.

Software Versions and Fixes

When considering software upgrades, also consult: http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt

As well as 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.

Workarounds =

The Cisco SRP 500 Series devices are designed as CPE devices, and only disabling access from the outside network will prevent exploitation, from remote networks. The following mitigations help limit exposure to this vulnerability:

* Disable Remote Management

Caution: Do not disable remote management if administrators manage devices using the WAN connection. This action will result in a loss of management connectivity to the device.

Remote Management is disabled by default. If it is enabled, administrators can disable this feature by choosing Administration > Web Access Management. Change the setting for the Remote Management field to Disabled.

Disabling remote management limits exposure because the vulnerability can then be exploited from the inter-LAN network only.

* Limit Remote Management Access to Specific IP Addresses

If remote management is required, secure the device so that it can be accessed by certain IP addresses only, rather than the default setting of All IP Addresses. After choosing Administration > Web Access Management, an administrator can change the Allowed Remote IP Address setting to ensure that only devices with specified IP addresses can access the device.
