Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-0009)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper access and privileges controls. A remote attacker can bypass the firewall to access resources on the target network when firewall rules are configured for custom application UUIDs that start with a zero.

2) Privilege escalation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-0008)

The vulnerability allows a physically local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper access and privileges controls. A physically local attacker on the console can gain root access without authenticating after an authenticated administrator has run a commit script containing certain instructions and the system reboots into a "safe mode" authentication state.

3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-0004)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a sustained sequence of traffic that, when a certain command is issued by the administrator, will consume excessive CPU resources on the target system and cause the forwarding plane and/or control plane to become inaccessible.

4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-0006)

The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

the weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An adjacent attacker can send VLAN authentication attempts via the local broadcast domain to consume excessive memory on the target BBE subscriber management daemon (bbe-smgd) and cause denial of service conditions.
