[R2] CloudView NMS Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities

High
← View More Research Advisories

Synopsis

Recently, Rapid7 disclosed vulnerabilities in several network management systems including version 2.09 of CloudView NMS, as a follow-up to a disclosure late last year. CloudView NMS is a network management and monitoring solution that comes in two variants: a Windows version (written in C) and a Linux version written in Java (called CloudViewJ).

#1 CloudViewJ SNMP system.sysDescr get-next-request Handling Remote DoS

An unauthenticated attacker can send an SNMP “get-next-request” for system.sysDescr (1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1) which results in an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception. The stack trace looks likes this (yes, that's obfuscated their Java):


Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
	at java.lang.System.arraycopy(Native Method)
	at dp.a(Unknown Source)
	at m.a(Unknown Source)
	at m.a(Unknown Source)
	at h1.a(Unknown Source)
	at m5.a(Unknown Source)
	at hl.a(Unknown Source)
	at eq.run(Unknown Source)
	at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(InvocationEvent.java:311)
	at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEventImpl(EventQueue.java:756)
	at java.awt.EventQueue.access$500(EventQueue.java:97)
	at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(EventQueue.java:709)
	at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(EventQueue.java:703)
	at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
	at java.security.ProtectionDomain$JavaSecurityAccessImpl.doIntersectionPrivilege(ProtectionDomain.java:76)
	at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:726)
	at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(EventDispatchThread.java:201)
	at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(EventDispatchThread.java:116)
	at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:105)
	at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:101)
	at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:93)
	at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:82)

This exception causes CloudViewJ to never respond to SNMP requests again. This is easily reproducible using the “snmpwalk” utility:


lobster:~ albino$ snmpwalk -c public -v 1 192.168.1.208 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: CloudViewNMSJ SNMP Agent 2.14b Sep 05, 2016
Timeout: No Response from 192.168.1.208
lobster:~ albino$

Note that the Windows version has a similar response to “snmpwalk” but it doesn’t result in a DoS. Instead, the Windows version adds this to the log file:


Tue Sep 13 11:10:47:         Not Apply:            Server: WARNING:SNMPAgent:snmp_build (EncodeMsg) error!                                                                                                                               
identity=107

Note, that this will also break logging in the web server.

#2 CloudViewJ enterprises.5000.300.4.2 get-next-request Handling Remote DoS

An unauthenticated attacker can send an SNMP “get-next-request” for enterprises.5000.300.4.2 (1.3.6.1.4.1.5000.300.4.2) which results in a ClassCastException in CloudViewJ (Windows variant is not affected):


Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ClassCastException: gu cannot be cast to w
	at dp.if(Unknown Source)
	at m.a(Unknown Source)
	at h1.a(Unknown Source)
	at m5.a(Unknown Source)
	at hl.a(Unknown Source)
	at eq.run(Unknown Source)
	at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(InvocationEvent.java:311)
	at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEventImpl(EventQueue.java:756)
	at java.awt.EventQueue.access$500(EventQueue.java:97)
	at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(EventQueue.java:709)
	at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(EventQueue.java:703)
	at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
	at java.security.ProtectionDomain$JavaSecurityAccessImpl.doIntersectionPrivilege(ProtectionDomain.java:76)
	at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:726)
	at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(EventDispatchThread.java:201)
	at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(EventDispatchThread.java:116)
	at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:105)
	at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:101)
	at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:93)
	at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:82)

Again, this exception causes CloudViewJ to never respond to SNMP requests until the software is restarted. This can be reproduced using this “snmpwalk” command:


lobster:~ albino$ snmpwalk -c public -v 1 192.168.1.208 1.3.6.1.4.1.5000.300.4.2

#3 File View Functionality MPR Resource Remote File Disclosure

CloudView NMS has an embedded web server that offers a “Files View” that even the most low privileged user can view. This is supposed to be restricted to “cloudviewj/data/” but a remote authenticated attacker can trivially access any file on the server by crafting the appropriate URL.

Because CloudViewJ runs with root privileges, an attacker can read any file including /etc/shadow.

#4 File View Functionality Malformed File Upload Remote DoS

If an authenticated user uploads a file via “File View” that uses URL encoded characters that could be interpreted as file paths, it will result in the server spiking to 100% CPU usage leading to a denial of service. For example, uploading a file named “%3A%3Awat.txt” (aka ..wat.txt) or “%2Fetc%2Fpasswd” (aka /etc/passwd) will trigger this case. Note that this DoS case will be re-triggered after the server is restarted if any user accesses the “File View” again.

#5 SNMP Service Server Log Remote Information Disclosure

An unauthenticated remote attacker can access the entire server log via the SNMP service. While this may be intended functionality, this can disclose a variety of information many administrators consider sensitive, and should require authentication. The information that can be found includes usernames (below we see the users “Admin” and “test”), running services and their ports, when users login, uptime, and more. Here is an example of retrieving the entire log file via snmpwalk:


lobster:~ albino$ snmpwalk -c public -v 1 192.168.1.208 1.3.6.1.4.1.5000.300.4.2

Solution

The vendor has responded and very quickly released CloudView NMS 2.15b to address issues #1 through #4. The vendor said Issue #5 is basically a question of whether CloudView NMS SNMP agent should be enabled or disabled by default with generic "get-community" set to "public", so administrators need to evaluate if this impacts them.
