Vulnerability Note VU#264092

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator fails to properly validate SSL/TLS certificates

Original Release date: 04 Jun 2015 | Last revised: 05 Jun 2015

Overview

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator versions 4.6.8 and earlier and 5.1.1 and earlier 
fail to properly validate SSL/TLS certificates.

Description

CWE-295: Improper Certificate Validation - CVE-2015-2859

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) supports integration with external registered
servers for a variety of purposes, such as data collection and aggregation. 
Optionally, ePO can be configured to use SSL/TLS to encrypt communications with
registered servers. McAfee ePO fails to verify the signing certificate 
authority (CA) as well as the common name (CN) or domain name (DN) listed in
a certificate. Consequently, these communication links are susceptible to 
man-in-the-middle interception and spoofing attacks.

For more information, refer to McAfee's security bulletin SB10120.

Impact

An attacker can intercept and manipulate HTTPS traffic between the ePO 
application and registered servers.

Solution

Apply an update

McAfee has released versions 4.6.9 and 5.1.2 to address this and other 
issues. Users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest version available and 
should refer to the vendor's Knowledge Base KB84628 article specifying 
additional steps that are required to enforce certificate validation.
