-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 =========================================================================== AUSCERT External Security Bulletin Redistribution ESB-2015.1416 Two vulnerabilities have been identified in Cisco Identity Services Engine 29 May 2015 =========================================================================== AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary --------------------------------- Product: Cisco Identity Services Engine Publisher: Cisco Systems Operating System: Cisco VMware ESX Server Impact/Access: Access Privileged Data -- Remote/Unauthenticated Increased Privileges -- Existing Account Resolution: Patch/Upgrade CVE Names: CVE-2015-0757 CVE-2015-0755 Original Bulletin: http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/viewAlert.x?alertId=39018 http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/viewAlert.x?alertId=39042 Comment: This bulletin contains two (2) Cisco Systems security advisories. - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- Vulnerability Alert Cisco Identity Services Engine Privilege Escalation Vulnerability Threat Type: CWE-264: Permissions, Privileges, and Access Control IntelliShield ID: 39018 Version: 1 First Published: 2015 May 27 23:12 GMT Last Published: 2015 May 27 23:12 GMT Port: Not available CVE: CVE-2015-0755 Urgency: Unlikely Use Credibility: Confirmed Severity: Moderate Damage CVSS Base: 6.6 CVSS Temporal: 5.5 Version Summary: Cisco Identity Services Engine contains a vulnerability that could allow an authenticated, local attacker to run arbitrary programs with elevated privileges. Updates are available. Description A vulnerability in the Posture module of the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an authenticated, local attacker to run arbitrary programs with elevated privileges. The vulnerability is due to insufficient access control protections. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging in to the system and executing commands that could lead to elevated privileges. Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability and released software updates. Warning Indicators At the time this alert was first published, Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client version 4.0(64) was vulnerable. Later versions of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client may also be vulnerable. IntelliShield Analysis To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must authenticate and have local access to the targeted device. These requirements may reduce the likelihood of a successful exploit. Cisco indicates through the CVSS score that functional exploit code exists; however, the code is not known to be publicly available. Vendor Announcements Cisco has released bug ID CSCut05797 for registered users, which contains additional details and an up-to-date list of affected product versions. Impact An authenticated, local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary programs with elevated privileges. A successful exploit could result in a complete system compromise. Technical Information The vulnerability is due to insufficient access control protections implemented on an affected device. An authenticated, local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging in to a targeted device and executing commands that could lead to elevated privileges. A successful exploit could result in a complete system compromise. Safeguards Administrators are advised to apply the appropriate updates. Administrators are advised to allow only trusted users to access local systems. Administrators are advised to allow only privileged users to access administration or management systems. Administrators are advised to monitor affected systems. Patches/Software Cisco customers with active contracts can obtain updates through the Software Center at the following link: Cisco. Cisco customers without contracts can obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco Technical Assistance Center at 1-800-553-2447 or 1-408-526-7209 or via email at tac@cisco.com. Alert History Initial Release Product Sets The security vulnerability applies to the following combinations of products. Primary Products: Cisco Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 4.0 (64) Associated Products: N/A Alerts and bulletins on the Cisco Security Intelligence Operations Portal are highlighted by analysts in the Cisco Threat Operations Center and represent a subset of the comprehensive content that is available through Cisco Security IntelliShield Alert Manager Service.

Updates are available. Description A vulnerability in the web framework of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access information on a targeted device that is normally available only to authenticated users. The vulnerability is due to improper implementation of session handlers set on an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by accessing the affected web pages on a targeted device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain access to sensitive information, such as reports generated by the MnT component, which could be leveraged to conduct further attacks. Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability and released software updates. Warning Indicators At the time this alert was first published, Cisco ISE Software versions 1.2(1.901) and 1.3(0.722) were vulnerable. Later versions of Cisco ISE Software may also be vulnerable. IntelliShield Analysis To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker may need access to trusted, internal networks to gain access to the affected web pages on a targeted device. This access requirement may reduce the likelihood of a successful exploit. Cisco indicates through the CVSS score that functional exploit code exists; however, the code is not known to be publicly available. Vendor Announcements Cisco has released bug ID CSCuq23140 for registered users, which contains additional details and an up-to-date list of affected product versions. Impact An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to access sensitive information stored on an affected device. A successful exploit could be used to conduct further attacks. Technical Information The vulnerability is due to improper implementation of session handlers set on an affected device. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by accessing the affected web pages on a targeted device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain access to sensitive information, such as reports generated by the MnT component of the affected application on the device, which could be leveraged to conduct further attacks. Safeguards Administrators are advised to apply the appropriate updates. Administrators are advised to allow only trusted users to have network access. Administrators can help protect affected systems from external attacks by using a solid firewall strategy. Administrators may consider using IP-based access control lists (ACLs) to allow only trusted systems to access the affected systems. Administrators are advised to monitor affected systems.
