Cisco Security Manager Java Deserialization Vulnerabilities

High

Advisory ID:      cisco-sa-csm-java-rce-mWJEedcD
First Published:  2020 November 16 23:00 GMT
Last Updated:     2020 December 7 15:13 GMT
Version 1.2:      Final
Workarounds:      No workarounds available
Cisco Bug IDs:    CSCvu99974
                  CSCvv79824
CVSS Score:       Base 8.1

CVE-2020-27131
CWE-20


Summary

    Multiple vulnerabilities in the Java deserialization function that
is used by Cisco Security Manager could allow an unauthenticated, remote
attacker to execute arbitrary commands on an affected device.

    These vulnerabilities are due to insecure deserialization of
user-supplied content by the affected software. An attacker could
exploit these vulnerabilities by sending a malicious serialized Java
object to a specific listener on an affected system. A successful
exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the
device with the privileges of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM on the Windows target
host.

    Cisco has released software updates that address these
vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these
vulnerabilities.

Affected Products

    Vulnerable Products


    These vulnerabilities affect Cisco Security Manager releases 4.22
and earlier.


    Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable

    Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this
advisory are known to be affected by these vulnerabilities.



Workarounds

    There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.


Fixed Software

    Cisco will release free software updates that address the
vulnerabilities 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:
    https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/end-user-license-agreement.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 page, to determine exposure and a
complete upgrade solution.

    In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be
upgraded 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:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/web/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

    Cisco fixed these vulnerabilities in Cisco Security Manager Release
4.22 Service Pack 1.


Exploitation and Public Announcements

    The Cisco Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) is aware
of public announcements about these vulnerabilities. Cisco PSIRT is not
aware of malicious use of the vulnerabilities that are described in this
advisory.


Source

    Cisco would like to thank Florian Hauser for reporting these
vulnerabilities.
