OS9000

==================================================

2) Severity Rating:

critical

Impact: Remotely exploitable without authentication.

==================================================

3) Description of Vulnerability

A stack based buffer overflow was discovered within Alcatel OmniSwitch
product line.

This buffer overflow was discovered within the Agranet-Emweb embedded
management web server and can be exploited remotely without user
authentication.

The vulnerability can be triggered on a 6200-24 running AOS Version
5.4.1.396.R01 by sending 2392 bytes in the http header ?Cookie: Session=?
This appears to overwrite a return address on the stack giving the attacker
control of the instruction pointer. The amount of bytes needed to trigger
the overflow varies between AOS versions.

==================================================

Fix:

1. Install AOS upgrades as recommended by Vendor

2. Disable Web services on OmniSwitch products
