[guru] IBM biztonsagi frissitesek
DATE: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 12:44:53 +0200
Két biztonsági hibát is találtak az IBM Director CIM Server alkalmazásában.
Az első hiba egy távoli DoS lehetőség, mikor is a speciális web szervere
nem képes lekezelni a túl hosszú neveket, míg a második hiba egy directory
traversal, ahol is a támadó tetszőleges DLL-t megadhat futtatásra (Windows
esetén a CIM server processz Local System jogokkal rendelkezik).

Product description:
---------------
IBM Director is an application that can track and view system
configurations of remote computers. It is available for Linux, AIX, and
Windows servers.
Vulnerability overview:
----------------
The CIM server contained in the IBM Director suite for Microsoft Windows
is vulnerable to a remote denial of service attack. The vulnerability
allows an attacker to crash the service remotely. It will not be
possible to reach the IBM Director agent until the service is manually
restarted.
Vulnerability details:
---------------
CIM server crashes on receiving requests that contain overlong consumer
names. The error condition does not allow for the redirection of program
flow.
M-POST /CIMListener/[Ax512] HTTP/1.1
CIMOperation: MethodCall
CIMExport: MethodRequest
CIMExportMethod: ExportIndication
[some xml]
Fix:
---------------
The vendor has adressed this vulnerability in service update 2 for IBM
Director agent 5.20.3. Download link:

title: IBM Director CIM Server Local Privilege Escalation
Vulnerability
program: IBM Director for Windows
vulnerable version: <= 5.20.3 Service Update 2

Product description:
---------------
IBM Director is an application that can track and view system
configurations of remote computers. It is available for Linux, AIX, and
Windows servers.
Vulnerability overview:
---------------
The CIM server which comes with IBM Director suite for Microsoft Windows
contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability because the
application fails to properly validate incoming indication requests. By
exploiting this vulnerability an attacker can run arbitrary code with
the privileges of the CIM server process (LOCAL SYSTEM in the Windows
version).
Vulnerability details:
---------------
The CIM server listens for so-called indication requests which it passes
to local consumers. These consumers are implemented within dynamic link
libraries or shared objects that reside on the system.
Because the consumer named is not checked for Windows path
metacharacters ("\"), it is possible to traverse the filesystem and
specify any library on the system. CIM server will load the specified
DLL and call its initialization function, PegasusCreateProvider(const
char *).
For example, the following request will load C:\mydll.dll:
M-POST /CIMListener/\..\..\..\..\mydll HTTP/1.1
CIMOperation: MethodCall
CIMExport: MethodRequest
CIMExportMethod: ExportIndication
[some xml]
The vulnerability can be exploited by a local user or an attacker who is
able to upload a file to the target system.
Fix:
---------------
The vendor has adressed this vulnerability in service update 2 for IBM
Director agent 5.20.3. Download link:
