Cisco Mobility Services Engine Static Credential Vulnerability
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20151104-mse-cred
Revision 1.0
For Public Release 2015 November 4 16:00 UTC (GMT)
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
=======
A vulnerability in the Cisco Mobility Services Engine (MSE) could
allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to log in to the MSE with
the default oracle account. This account does not have full administrator
privileges.
The vulnerability is due to a user account that has a default and static
password. This account is created at installation and cannot be changed
or deleted without impacting the functionality of the system. An attacker
could exploit this vulnerability by remotely connecting to the affected
system via SSH using this account. A successful exploit could allow the
attacker to log in to the MSE using the default oracle account.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. A
workaround that mitigates this vulnerability is available.

Cisco Mobility Services Engine Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20151104-privmse
Revision 1.0
For Public Release 2015 November 4 16:00 UTC (GMT)
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
=======
A vulnerability in the installation procedure of the Cisco Mobility Services
Engine (MSE) appliance could allow an authenticated, local attacker to escalate
to the root level.
The vulnerability is due to incorrect installation and permissions settings on
binary files during the MSE physical or virtual appliance install procedure.
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging into the device and
escalating their privileges. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to
acquire root-level privileges and take full control of the device.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are
no workarounds that mitigate this vulnerability.
