Cisco ACE 4710 Appliance / ACE30 Module Multiple Vulnerabilities (Logjam)

high Nessus Plugin ID 91427

Synopsis

The remote device is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The Cisco Application Control Engine (ACE) software installed on the remote Cisco ACE 4710 device or ACE30 module is version A5 prior to A5(3.3). It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- An invalid free memory error exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input when a DTLS peer receives application data between ChangeCipherSpec and Finished messages. A remote attacker can exploit this to corrupt memory, resulting in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-8176)

- A denial of service vulnerability exists when processing an ECParameters structure due to an infinite loop that occurs when a specified curve is over a malformed binary polynomial field. A remote attacker can exploit this to perform a denial of service against any system that processes public keys, certificate requests, or certificates. This includes TLS clients and TLS servers with client authentication enabled. (CVE-2015-1788)

- A denial of service vulnerability exists due to improper validation of the content and length of the ASN1_TIME string by the X509_cmp_time() function. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a malformed certificate and CRLs of various sizes, to cause a segmentation fault, resulting in a denial of service condition. TLS clients that verify CRLs are affected. TLS clients and servers with client authentication enabled may be affected if they use custom verification callbacks.
(CVE-2015-1789)

- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the PKCS#7 parsing code due to incorrect handling of missing inner 'EncryptedContent'. This allows a remote attacker, via specially crafted ASN.1-encoded PKCS#7 blobs with missing content, to cause a denial of service condition or other potential unspecified impacts. (CVE-2015-1790)

- A double-free error exists due to a race condition that occurs when a NewSessionTicket is received by a multi-threaded client when attempting to reuse a previous ticket. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or other potential unspecified impact. (CVE-2015-1791)

- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the CMS code due to an infinite loop that occurs when verifying a signedData message. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-1792)

- The symmetric-key feature in the receive function requires a correct message authentication code (MAC) only if the MAC field has a nonzero length. This makes it easier for a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof packets by omitting the MAC. (CVE-2015-1798)

- A flaw exists in the symmetric-key feature in the receive function when handling a specially crafted packet sent to one of two hosts that are peering with each other. This allows an attacker to cause the next attempt by the servers to synchronize to fail.
(CVE-2015-1799)

- A man-in-the-middle vulnerability, known as Logjam, exists due to a flaw in the SSL/TLS protocol. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw to downgrade connections using ephemeral Diffie-Hellman key exchange to 512-bit export-grade cryptography. (CVE-2015-4000)

- A flaw exists in the TLS 1.x implementation in the Cavium SDK due to a failure to check the first byte of the padding bytes. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this, by sending specially crafted requests to the server, to induce requests that allow determining the plaintext chunks of data. This vulnerability is a variant of the POODLE attack. (CVE-2015-4595)

Solution

Upgrade to Cisco ACE version A5(3.3) or later.
