OpenConnect WebConnect < 6.5.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 17214

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a Java application that is vulnerable to multiple attacks.

Description

The remote host is running OpenConnect WebConnect, a web-based graphical user interface that gives remote users console access to mainframe, midrange, and Unix systems using a Java-based telnet console which communicates securely over HTTP. OC WebConnect 6.44 and 6.5 (and possibly previous versions) have multiple remote vulnerabilities :

- A remote attacker can bring about a denial of service by sending an HTTP GET or POST request with an MS-DOS device name in it (Windows platforms only).

- A read-only directory traversal vulnerability in 'jretest.html' allows exposure of files formatted in an INI-style format (any platform).

Solution

Upgrade to OpenConnect WebConnect 6.5.1 or later.
