IBM Lotus Domino RPC Operation Denial of Service Vulnerability

Permalink 01/03/12 08:30, by Dennis van Remortel, Categories: Administration, IBM, Lotus, security
According to the IBM page about this: "If an attacker can monitor and record all communications between a Notes client and a Domino server then it is possible to crash the Domino server by modifying a specific packet, in a specific way, during a specific operation.", so a relatively low threat. Upgrade to 8.5.3 if you can, if not (because of the server changes in 8.5.3) upgrade to 8.5.2 FP4.

Advisory: Range header DoS vulnerability Apache HTTPD 1.3/2.x (CVE-2011-3192) -> IBM HTTP Server too!

Permalink 08/25/11 10:18, by Dennis van Remortel, Categories: Administration, IBM, Websphere, security, Sametime
Go read this, and apply the fixes. Your IBM HTTP server with the Websphere servers is just a rebranded Apache.

Example:

D:\IBM\bin>Apache.exe -v
Server version: IBM_HTTP_Server/6.0.2.29 Apache/2.0.47

(see update below)




Excerpt below:

          Apache HTTPD Security ADVISORY
          ==============================

Title:    Range header DoS vulnerability Apache HTTPD 1.3/2.x

CVE:      CVE-2011-3192: 
Date:     20110824 1600Z
Product:  Apache HTTPD Web Server
Versions: Apache 1.3 all versions, Apache 2 all versions

Description:
============

A denial of service vulnerability has been found in the way the multiple 
overlapping ranges are handled by the Apache HTTPD server:

     http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2011/Aug/175 

An attack tool is circulating in the wild. Active use of this tools has 
been observed.

The attack can be done remotely and with a modest number of requests can 
cause very significant memory and CPU usage on the server. 

The default Apache HTTPD installation is vulnerable.

There is currently no patch/new version of Apache HTTPD which fixes this 
vulnerability. This advisory will be updated when a long term fix 
is available. 

A full fix is expected in the next 48 hours. 


Update: The fix reportedly working for 2.0 and 2.2 doesn't work on 2.0 as the syntax is different. Apply the following:

# Drop the Range header when more than 5 ranges.
# CVE-2011-3192
SetEnvIf Range (,.*?){5,} bad-range=1
RequestHeader unset Range

# optional logging.
CustomLog logs/range-CVE-2011-3192.log common env=bad-range

Vulnerabilities in BlackBerry Enterprise Server components that process images could allow remote code execution

Permalink 08/12/11 08:38, by Dennis van Remortel, Categories: IBM, Lotus, security, Blackberry
From the blackberry site. I've posted an excerpt below:


Overview

Vulnerabilities exist in components of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server that process PNG and TIFF images for rendering on the BlackBerry smartphone. The BlackBerry® Mobile Data System – Connection Service component processes images on web pages that the BlackBerry® Browser requests. The BlackBerry® Messaging Agent component processes images in email messages.

Affected Software

The issue affects the following software versions:
  • BlackBerry® Enterprise Server version 5.0.1 through 5.0.3 MR2 for Microsoft Exchange
  • BlackBerry® Enterprise Server version 5.0.1 through 5.0.3 MR2 for IBM Lotus Domino
  • BlackBerry® Enterprise Server version 4.1.7 and version 5.0.1 through 5.0.1 MR3 for Novell GroupWise
  • BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express version 5.0.1 through 5.0.3 for Microsoft Exchange
  • BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express version 5.0.2 and 5.0.3 for IBM Lotus Domino


Note: BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 5.0.3 MR3 and later for Microsoft Exchange and IBM Lotus Domino are not affected.

My colleague found this on the appstore today, and it might look like a usefull thing for users forgetting their OOO.

If you are using Lotus Traveler, you should find that there is a very important feature missing, i.e. ability to set your Out of Office while you are on the road. This application is designed to fill in this gap.

IBM Lotus Domino is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input.
Successfully exploiting this issue may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successful exploits will completely compromise affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

The following proof-of-concept code is available:

IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability because the application fails to properly handle WebServices PKCS#7 and PKIPath tokens.

Successful exploits may allow attackers to gain unauthorized access to the service, which may lead to other attacks.
The following are vulnerable:
WebSphere Application Server prior to 6.0.2.41, 6.1.0.31, and 7.0.0.11.

Exploit:
Currently we are not aware of any exploits. If you feel we are in error or if you are aware of more recent information, please mail us at: vuldb@securityfocus.com.

Security enhancements in iNotes 8.5.2 may require configuration changes in environments with reverse proxies

Permalink 06/17/11 10:27, by Dennis van Remortel, Categories: Administration, IBM, Lotus, security, Netscaler
I was playing with the application firewall in the citrix netscaler and I found a cookie I had never seen before to get blocked.

Some quick googling gave me this Technote swg21453878. Please read it if you are using firewall/reverse proxy products in from of iNotes (or webadmin for that matter).


Technote (troubleshooting)

Problem

Some security enhancements were introduced in iNotes 8.5.2 to prevent potential Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks, and as part of these security enhancements, there are special considerations that should be made in environments that utilize reverse proxies. Upon sending POST requests to Domino, users may encounter 400 errors on the iNotes console, and administrators may see messages similar to the following on the console:

"iNotes XSS Security: Invalid Request, missing expected nonce value; with Referer: '%s'. Request not processed, throwing exception." "iNotes XSS Security: Invalid Request, unexpected nonce value; with Referer: '%s'. Request not processed, throwing exception."

To mitigate these issues, the following two changes should be noted and accounted for:

1) When using basic authentication (Disabled session authentication), we now will utilize the ShimmerS cookie. Previously, this cookie was only used when Domino was set up for session authentication, but now, it is used no matter what authentication scheme is used.



2) There is a new extended header field that iNotes utilizes named "X-IBM-INOTES-NONCE". This header field must be allowed to pass freely between the client and server for iNotes to function properly.

In addition to these considerations, please note that some products (including Juniper VPNs) utilize mechanisms that cache or obfuscate cookies so that they are not held in their original form in the browser. Exceptions need to be made for the ShimmerS cookie for iNotes to function properly.

Resolving the problem

Take steps to allow the ShimmerS cookie and the "X-IBM-INOTES-NONCE" field to pass freely and untouched between the browser and Domino.

het is alweer enige tijd geleden dat er met en door een aantal Lotus aanhangers tegen een klein zwart balletje is geslagen. Daarom heeft InterfaceFlor samen met Clear IT Consulting het idee opgevat weer eens wat op poten te zetten.

Lekker een potje squashen, ongedwongen, ontspannen sfeer.
Squashkennis niet vereist.
