Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) OS command injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU7341
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-6714
CWE-ID:
CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands.
The vulnerability exists in the AutoIT service of Cisco Ultra Services Framework Staging Server due to improper shell invocations. A remote attacker can use specially crafted CLI commands to execute Linux shell commands with root privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
The vulnerability is addressed in the following versions:
5.0.3, 5.1.
Cisco Ultra Services Framework: All versions
External linkshttp://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20170705-usf3
Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Information disclosure
EUVDB-ID: #VU7342
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-6709
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists in the AutoVNF tool for the Cisco Ultra Services Framework due to logging of administrative credentials for Cisco ESC and Cisco OpenStack deployment purposes in clear text. A remote attacker can access the AutoVNF URL for the location where the log files are stored and subsequently access the administrative credential.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in information disclosure.
The vulnerability is addressed in the following versions:
5.0.3, 5.1.
Cisco Ultra Services Framework: All versions
External linkshttp://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20170705-usf2
Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
3) Improper input validation
EUVDB-ID: #VU7343
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-6708
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information or execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists in the symbolic link (symlink) creation functionality of the AutoVNF tool for the Cisco Ultra Services Framework due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted data used to create symbolic links and read any sensitive file or execute malicious code on an affected system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
The vulnerability is addressed in the following versions:
5.0.3, 5.1.
Cisco Ultra Services Framework: All versions
External linkshttp://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20170705-usf1
Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
4) Security restrictions bypass
EUVDB-ID: #VU7344
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 7.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-6711
CWE-ID:
CWE-287 - Improper Authentication
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists in the Ultra Automation Service (UAS) of the Cisco Ultra Services Framework due to an insecure default configuration of the Apache ZooKeeper service. A remote attacker can use orchestrator network to bypass security restrictions, gain access to ZooKeeper data nodes (znodes) and influence the behavior of the system's high-availability feature.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in unauthorized access to the affected device.
The vulnerability is addressed in the following versions:
5.0.3, 5.1.
Cisco Ultra Services Framework: All versions
External linkshttp://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20170705-uas
Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
