Summary:
RSA, The Security Division of EMC, announces security fixes and improvements
for RSA SecurID Software Token 4.1 for Microsoft Windows This release
addresses an Insecure Library Loading vulnerability within RSA SecurID
Software Token for Windows (CVE-2011-4141). This release also provides an
alternate installation package for customers who do not require the software
token automation API features of the product. Further information about these
resolutions can be found in the RSA SecurID Software Token 4.1 for Microsoft
Windows Release Notes.
Platforms:
Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit
and 64-bit Windows Vista Business SP2 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista
Enterprise SP2 32-bit and 64-bit Windows XP Professional SP3
Description:
This release addresses an Insecure Library Loading vulnerability within RSA
SecurID Software Token for Windows (CVE-2011-4141). This vulnerability may be
exploited to load arbitrary libraries by tricking a user into opening a
Software Token file located on a compromised or malicious share. The software
token automation API enables integration with leading VPN and remote access
applications so that users are only required to enter their usernames and
SecurID PINs for authentication. This release provides an alternative
installation package for customers who do not require the software token
automation API features. Support for backwards compatibility is provided by a
separate installation package that installs the software token automation API.
Both versions of the application will be available for direct download from
rsa.com.
Further information about these resolutions can be found in the RSA SecurID
Software Token 4.1 for Microsoft Windows Release Notes.
Affected Products:
RSA SecurID Software Token 4.1 for Microsoft Windows
Recommendation:
RSA strongly recommends that customers upgrade to RSA SecurID Software Token
4.1.1 for Microsoft Windows. If customers direct their end-users to download
the application directly from rsa.com, they should update their instructions
to ensure users download the correct version of the application.
