CVE-2017-6753

CWE-119

Summary

A vulnerability in Cisco WebEx browser extensions for Google Chrome and 
Mozilla Firefox could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute 
arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected browser on an affected 
system. This vulnerability affects the browser extensions for Cisco WebEx 
Meetings Server, Cisco WebEx Centers (Meeting Center, Event Center, Training 
Center, and Support Center), and Cisco WebEx Meetings when they are running on
Microsoft Windows.

The vulnerability is due to a design defect in the extension. An attacker who
can convince an affected user to visit an attacker-controlled web page or 
follow an attacker-supplied link with an affected browser could exploit the 
vulnerability. If successful, the attacker could execute arbitrary code with 
the privileges of the affected browser.

Cisco has released software updates for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox that
address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this 
vulnerability.

vulnerability.

Cisco has confirmed that this vulnerability does not affect the following 
products:

Cisco WebEx Productivity Tools

Cisco WebEx on Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer

Workarounds

There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. However, Windows 
users may use Internet Explorer and administrators and users of Windows 10 
systems may use Microsoft Edge to join and participate in WebEx sessions 
because Microsoft Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge are not affected by 
this vulnerability. Additionally, administrators and users can remove all 
WebEx software from a Windows system by using the Meeting Services Removal 
Tool, which is available from https://help.webex.com/docs/DOC-2672.

Fixed Software

Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability 
described in this advisory. Customers may only install and expect support for
software versions and feature sets for which they have purchased a license. By
installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such software upgrades,
customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco software license:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html

Additionally, customers may only download software for which they have a valid
license, procured from Cisco directly, or through a Cisco authorized reseller
or partner. In most cases this will be a maintenance upgrade to software that
was previously purchased. Free security software updates do not entitle 
customers to a new software license, additional software feature sets, or 
major revision upgrades.

When considering software upgrades, customers are advised to regularly consult
the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the Cisco Security
Advisories and Alerts page, to determine exposure and a complete upgrade 
solution.

In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain
sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software 
configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If 
the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco 
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance providers.

Customers Without Service Contracts

Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service 
contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but are
unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should 
obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco TAC:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_worldwide_contacts.html

Customers should have the product serial number available and be prepared to 
provide the URL of this advisory as evidence of entitlement to a free upgrade.

Fixed Releases

To resolve the vulnerability, users must ensure that they have updated 
versions of the following:

Cisco WebEx extensions for Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox

Cisco WebEx Desktop Applications

For the latest information about fixes for the following products, consult the
appropriate Cisco bug ID:

Cisco WebEx Meeting Center: CSCvf15012

Cisco WebEx Event Center: CSCvf15036

Cisco WebEx Training Center: CSCvf15033

Cisco WebEx Support Center: CSCvf15037

Cisco WebEx Meetings Server: CSCvf15020

Cisco WebEx Meetings: CSCvf15030

Browser Updates

The following subsections provide instructions for updating the Cisco WebEx 
browser extensions. Customers can allow their browsers to auto-update by 
launching the browser and keeping the browser window open for 3-6 hours, 
during which time the extensions will be auto-updated.

Note: Should the browser window close before the auto-update check completes,
the timer will reset, requiring a browser window to be launched at a later 
time and remain open for 3-6 hours to receive the update.

Google Chrome

The Cisco WebEx extension for Google Chrome version 1.0.12 was released on 
July 13, 2017, and contains a fix for this vulnerability. Chrome users can 
ensure they are using the fixed version of the Cisco WebEx extension for 
Google Chrome by doing the following:

In Chrome, click the menu button (three dots at the upper right of the 
application) and choose More Tools > Extensions.

Check the Developer mode check box at the top of the extensions manager. 
Chrome will display a row of buttons.

Click the Update extensions now button.

Restart the Chrome browser.

Mozilla Firefox

The Cisco WebEx extension for Mozilla Firefox version 1.0.12 was released on 
July 12, 2017, and contains a fix for this vulnerability. Firefox users can 
ensure they are using the fixed version of the Cisco WebEx extension for 
Mozilla Firefox by doing the following:

In Firefox, click the menu button (three horizontal bars at the upper right of
the application) and choose Add-ons

Click the Extensions tab

Locate Cisco WebEx Extension in the list of extensions and click the More link
to obtain the version information

Click the cogwheel next to the search bar and choose Check for Updates

Microsoft Internet Explorer

Because there are shared components between the Google Chrome and Mozilla 
Firefox extensions and Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer users will be 
prompted to update Cisco WebEx plug-ins. The plug-ins are available as part of
the Cisco WebEx client packages associated with each WebEx product, and will 
be available to download after a WebEx site has been upgraded to a fixed 
version. Upgraded clients are available from the Downloads section of each 
site after an upgrade has been performed. Users that connect to an upgraded 
site without the updated client software may be prompted to perform an online
upgrade.

Customers may check that the browser plug-in upgrade was successful by using 
the following procedures for Microsoft Internet Explorer:

Note: The registered name of the plug-in in Internet Explorer may differ based
on the installation method used for the plug-in. The version of the plug-in 
depends on the version of Cisco WebEx that provided the update. The update may
have been applied either via the web when joining a WebEx meeting or by a 
local update of the client via an MSI file. When a fixed version of the 
plug-in from any version of Cisco WebEx is installed, it will not be 
downgraded or changed to a version installed by a different fixed version of 
Cisco WebEx. Internet Explorer users can ensure they are using the fixed 
version of the plug-in for Internet Explorer by doing the following:

In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button (the cog icon at the upper right
of the application) and choose Manage add-ons.

- From the Show drop-down menu, choose All add-ons.

Select either the Download Manager or GpcContainer Class add-on under Cisco 
WebEx LLC. The version number is displayed at the bottom of the Manage add-ons
window.

Validate that the Download Manager version or GpcContainer Class version 
displayed is one of the version strings in the following table:

Cisco WebEx Major Version    Fixed GPC Container or Download Manager Version

32.3.4.5                     10032.3.2017.711
