Mac OS X : Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client < 3.1.10010.0 / 4.0.x < 4.0.4014.0 / 4.1.x < 4.1.4011.0 Code Execution Vulnerability

high Nessus Plugin ID 81979

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a code execution vulnerability.

Description

The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client installed on the remote Mac OS X host is a version prior to 3.1.10010.0, or is version 4.0.x prior to 4.0.4014.0, or version 4.1.x prior to 4.1.4011.0. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw that allows unauthenticated IPC commands to install software as root. A local attacker, by sending a specially crafted IPC command, can exploit this to execute arbitrary programs with elevated privileges.

Solution

Upgrade to Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client version 3.1.10010.0 / 4.0.4014.0 / 4.1.4011.0 or later
