Affected Products
=================

Vulnerable Products
+------------------

The following Cisco IronPort Email Security Appliances (ESA) and
Cisco IronPort Security Management Appliances (SMA) are affected by
this vulnerability:

    * Cisco IronPort Email Security Appliance (C-Series and X-Series)
    versions prior to 7.6.0

    * Cisco IronPort Security Management Appliance (M-Series) versions
    prior to 7.8.0


Note: Fixed software versions are not yet available.  Please consult
the Obtaining Fixed Software section of this advisory for more
information.

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------

Cisco IronPort Web Security Appliances (S-Series) are not affected by
this vulnerability. 

No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by this
vulnerability.

Details
=======

The Cisco IronPort ESA provides email management and protection
combining antispam, antivirus, encryption, digital rights management,
and archiving technologies. The Cisco IronPort SMA is a flexible
management tool designed to centralize and consolidate policy and
runtime data, providing a single management interface for multiple
Cisco IronPort security appliances.

The Cisco IronPort ESA and the Cisco IronPort SMA run AsyncOS, a
modified version of the FreeBSD kernel.

These devices are affected by the FreeBSD telnetd remote code
execution vulnerability documented by Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures (CVE) identifier CVE-2011-4862. This vulnerability could
allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to run arbitrary code with
elevated privileges.

The vulnerability is documented in Cisco IronPort bug 83262.

Note: Cisco IronPort tracks bugs using an internal system that is not
available to customers. The Cisco IronPort bug tracking identifiers
are provided for reference only.

Vulnerability Scoring Details
=============================

Cisco has scored the vulnerability in this advisory based on the
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS scoring in this
security advisory is in accordance with CVSS version 2.0.

CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability
severity and helps organizations determine the urgency and priority
of a response.

Cisco has provided a base and temporal score. Customers can also
compute environmental scores that help determine the impact of the
vulnerability in their own networks.

Cisco has provided additional information regarding CVSS at the
following link:

http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html

Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to compute the
environmental impact for individual networks at the following link:

http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss


* CVE-2011-4862/Ironport #83262 ("Telnetd encrypt_keyid vulnerability")

CVSS Base Score - 10.0
    Access Vector -            Network
    Access Complexity -        Low
    Authentication -           None
    Confidentiality Impact -   Complete
    Integrity Impact -         Complete
    Availability Impact -      Complete

CVSS Temporal Score - 9.0
    Exploitability -           Functional
    Remediation Level -        Workaround
    Report Confidence -        Confirmed


Impact
======

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a remote,
unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated
privileges.

Software Versions and Fixes
===========================

Fixes for the vulnerability described in this advisory are not yet
available; however, there are configuration workarounds available
that may eliminate the risk for most customers. Please see the
Workarounds section of this advisory for information on the
mitigation of this vulnerability.

Cisco IronPort Email Security Appliance (C-Series and X-Series)
versions prior to 7.6.0 are affected. Version 7.6.0 will include
fixes for this issue when available.

Cisco IronPort Security Management Appliance (M-Series) versions
prior to 7.8.0 are affected. Versions 7.8.0 and 7.9.0 will include
fixes for this issue when available.

Workarounds
===========

By default, Telnet is configured on the Management port. Telnet
services can be disabled to mitigate this vulnerability.
Administrators can disable Telnet by using the administration
graphical user interface (GUI) or by using the "interfaceconfig"
command in the command-line interface (CLI).  As a security best
practice, customers should use Secure Shell (SSH) instead of Telnet.

Complete the following steps to disable Telnet via the GUI:

Step 1: Navigate to Network > IP Interfaces > interface_name.

Step 2: Remove the check from the box next to the Telnet service.

Step 3: Click on the Submit button to submit the change.

Step 4: Click the Commit Change button for these changes to take effect.

Use the "interfaceconfig" command, as shown in the example below to
disable Telnet via the CLI.

+-----------------------------------------------------------
mail3.example.com> interfaceconfig


Currently configured interfaces:
1. Data 1 (192.168.1.1/24 on Data1: mail3.example.com)
2. Data 2 (192.168.2.1/24 on Data2: mail3.example.com)
3. Management (192.168.42.42/24 on Management: mail3.example.com)
 
Choose the operation you want to perform:
 - NEW - Create a new interface.
 - EDIT - Modify an interface.
 - GROUPS - Define interface groups.
 - DELETE - Remove an interface.
 
[]> edit


Enter the number of the interface you wish to edit.
[]> 3

<output omitted>

Do you want to enable Telnet on this interface?  [N]> N
Do you want to enable SSH on this interface?  [N]> Y
+-----------------------------------------------------------


Note: The "interfaceconfig" command is described in detail in the
section "Other Tasks in the GUI" in the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS Daily
Management Guide available at the following link:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/esa/esa7.5/ESA_7.5_Daily_Management_Guide.pdf
