2015-07 Security Bulletin: Junos: SRX 'set system ports console insecure' not
functioning as expected (CVE-2015-3007)
[JSA10683]
PRODUCT AFFECTED:
This issue affects the SRX Series services gateways running Junos OS
12.1X46-D15 and later releases.
PROBLEM:
On SRX Series services gateways, the 'set system ports console insecure'
feature does not work as expected. This feature is intended to prevent
non-root users from performing password recovery using the console (see
KB22619). This vulnerability may allow a non-root user with physical access to
the console port to gain full administrative privileges.
This issue affects SRX Series services gateways only. No other Junos devices
are affected.
This feature was first introduced in SRX 12.1X46-D15. Earlier releases are
unaffected by this vulnerability.
Juniper SIRT is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability.
No other Juniper Networks products or platforms are affected by this issue.
This issue has been assigned CVE-2015-3007.
SOLUTION:
The following software releases have been updated to resolve this specific
issue: Junos OS 12.1X46-D35, 12.1X47-D25, 12.3X48-D15, and all subsequent
releases.
This issue is being tracked as PR 1016488 and is visible on the Customer
Support website.
KB16765 - "In which releases are vulnerabilities fixed?" describes which
release vulnerabilities are fixed as per our End of Engineering and End of
Life support policies.
WORKAROUND:
Protect SRX Series services gateways from unauthorized console and/or physical
access.
IMPLEMENTATION:
How to obtain fixed software:
Security vulnerabilities in Junos are fixed in the next available Maintenance
Release of each supported Junos version. In some cases, a Maintenance Release
is not planned to be available in an appropriate time-frame. For these cases,
Service Releases are made available in order to be more timely. Security
Advisory and Security Notices will indicate which Maintenance and Service
Releases contain fixes for the issues described. Upon request to JTAC,
customers will be provided download instructions for a Service Release.
Although Juniper does not provide formal Release Note documentation for a
Service Release, a list of "PRs fixed" can be provided on request.
