Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller Enterprise Module
Unauthorized Access Vulnerability
High
Advisory ID:
cisco-sa-20171101-apicem
First Published:
2017 November 1 16:00 GMT
Version 1.0:
Final
Workarounds:
No workarounds available
Cisco Bug IDs:
CSCve89638
CVSS Score:
Base 8.8
CVE-2017-12262
CWE-284
Summary
A vulnerability within the firewall configuration of the Cisco Application
Policy Infrastructure Controller Enterprise Module (APIC-EM) could allow an
unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to gain privileged access to services only
available on the internal network of the device.
The vulnerability is due to an incorrect firewall rule on the device. The
misconfiguration could allow traffic sent to the public interface of the
device to be forwarded to the internal virtual network of the APIC-EM. An
attacker that is logically adjacent to the network on which the public
interface of the affected APIC-EM resides could leverage this behavior to gain
access to services listening on the internal network with elevated privileges.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are
no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

vulnerability.
Workarounds
There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
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 upgrade 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
This vulnerability is fixed in Cisco APIC-EM release 1.5 or later.
The software can be downloaded from the Software Center on Cisco.com by
navigating to Downloads > Home > Products > Cloud and Systems Management >
Policy and Automation Controllers > Application Policy Infrastructure
Controller Enterprise Module (APIC-EM) > APIC-EM Software Updates-1.5
Exploitation and Public Announcements
The Cisco Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) is not aware of any
