NSFOCUS Security Advisory(SA2007-02)

Topic: Cisco Security Agent Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Release Date: 2007-12-06

CVE CAN ID : CVE-2007-5580

Affected system:
==============
Cisco Security Agent for Windows < 4.5.1.672
Cisco Security Agent for Windows < 5.0.0.225
Cisco Security Agent for Windows < 5.1.0.106
Cisco Security Agent for Windows < 5.2.0.238

Unaffected system:
==============

Impact:
======
NSFOCUS Security Team discovered a remote buffer overflow vulnerability in
Cisco Security Agent for Windows which allows remote code execution by
sending a malicious SMB request.

Description:
==========
Cisco Security Agent is a security software agent that provides threat
protection for server and desktop computing systems.

A driver bundled with Cisco Security Agent for Windows does not correctly
check the data length provided by users when processing a SMB packet, which
might trigger a stack buffer overflow in the system kernel. A remote
attacker might cause system with CSA installed to restart or BSOD. By
sending carefully crafted data an attacker might cause remote code
execution, thus gains complete control over the system.

By default CSA allows access to TCP ports 139 and 445. After establishing a
session to TCP ports 139 and 445, an attacker can complete an exploitation
without any authentication simply by sending a single packet.

Cisco Security Agent for Windows version 5.2.0.225 and prior are affected.
Other Cisco software that uses CSA component is also affected.

Workaround:
===========
* Restrict access to TCP ports 139 and 445.

Vendor Status:
============
2007.09.27 Informed the vendor
2007.10.23 Vendor confirmed the vulnerability
2007.12.05 Vendor released a security advisory (cisco-sa-20071205-csa) and
related patches.

Additional Information:
==================
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the
name CVE-2007-5580 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the
CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes names for security
problems. Candidates may change significantly before they become official
CVE entries.
