2017-10 Security Bulletin: Contrail: hard coded credentials (CVE-2017-10616)
and XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability (CVE-2017-10617)
PRODUCT AFFECTED:
This issue affects Contrail 2.2, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2.
PROBLEM:
The ifmap service that comes bundled with Contrail releases prior to version
4.0 uses hard coded credentials.
Additionally the ifmap service has an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability
that may allow an attacker to retrieve sensitive system files.
No other Juniper Networks products or platforms are affected by this issue.
The hard coded credential vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2017-10616.
The XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2017-10617.
CVE-2017-10616 has a CVSSv3 score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)
CVE-2017-10617 has a CVSSv3 score of 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N)
These two vulnerabilities can be chained together and have a combined CVSSv3
score of 5.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N)
Juniper SIRT is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability.
SOLUTION:
The following software releases have been updated to resolve these specific
issues: Contrail 2.21.4, 3.0.3.4, 3.1.4.0, 3.2.5.0 and all subsequent
releases.
WORKAROUND:
The hard coded credentials can be modified manually, however, there are no
viable workarounds for the XXE vulnerability.
It is good security practice to limit the exploitable attack surface of
critical infrastructure networking equipment. Use access lists or firewall
filters to limit access only from trusted, administrative networks or hosts.
