Cisco Secure ACS EAP Parsing Vulnerability


Arrow  SecurityAlert : 4216
Arrow  CVE : CVE-2008-2441
Arrow  CWE : CWE-399
Arrow  SecurityRisk : High  Security Risk High  (About)
Arrow  Remote Exploit : Yes
Arrow  Local Exploit : No
Arrow  Victim interaction required : No
Arrow  Exploit Available : No
Arrow  Credit : Laurent Butti
Arrow  Published : 06.09.2008

Arrow  Affected Software : Cisco, Cisco Secure Access Control S
Cisco, Secure ACS



Arrow  Advisory Content :  

Title:
------
* Cisco Secure ACS does not correctly parse the length of EAP-Response
packets which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and
possibly execute arbitrary code

Summary:
--------
* A remote attacker (acting as a RADIUS client) could send a specially
crafted EAP Response packet against a Cisco Secure ACS server in such a
way as to cause the CSRadius service to crash (reliable). This bug may
be triggered if the length field of an EAP-Response packet has a certain
big value, greater than the real packet length. Any EAP-Response can
trigger this bug: EAP-Response/Identity, EAP-Response/MD5,
EAP-Response/TLS...

Affected Products:
------------------
* All versions of Cisco Secure ACS that support EAP, to be more precise,
check the Cisco Advisory cisco-sr-20080903-csacs

Assigned CVE:
-------------
* CVE-2008-2441

Details:
--------
* An EAP packet is as follows:

0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Code | Identifier | Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type | Identity...
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

* For example, the following packet will trigger the vulnerability and
crash CSRadius.exe:

0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| 2 | 0 | 0xdddd |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| 1 | abcd
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Attack Impact:
--------------
* Denial-of-service and possibly remote arbitrary code execution

Attack Vector:
--------------
* Have access as a RADIUS client (knowing or guessing the RADIUS shared
secret) or from an unauthenticated wireless device if the access point
relays malformed EAP frames

Timeline:
---------
* 2008-05-05 - Vulnerability reported to Cisco
* 2008-05-05 - Cisco acknowledged the notification
* 2008-05-05 - PoC sent to Cisco
