Title: [CAID 35330, 35331]: CA Anti-Virus, CA Threat Manager, and
CA Anti-Spyware Console Login and File Mapping Vulnerabilities
CA Vuln ID (CAID): 35330, 35331
CA Advisory Date: 2007-05-09
Reported By: ZDI, iDefense
Impact: Attackers can cause a denial of service or potentially
execute arbitrary code.
Summary: CA Anti-Virus for the Enterprise, CA Threat Manager, and
CA Anti-Spyware contain multiple vulnerabilities that can allow an
attacker to cause a denial of service or possibly execute
arbitrary code. CA has issued patches to address the
vulnerabilities.
The first vulnerability, CVE-2007-2522, is due to insufficient
bounds checking on Console Server login credentials. A remote
attacker can use carefully constructed authentication credentials
to cause a stack based buffer overflow, which can potentially
result in arbitrary code execution.
The second vulnerability, CVE-2007-2523, is due to insufficient
bounds checking in InoCore.dll. A local attacker can modify the
contents of a file mapping to cause a stack based buffer overflow,
which can potentially result in arbitrary code execution. This
issue only affects CA Anti-Virus for the Enterprise and CA Threat
Manager.
Mitigating Factors: For CVE-2007-2522, the vulnerability applies
only to an installation on the x86 platform with the Console
Server installed.
Severity: CA has given these vulnerabilities a combined High risk
rating.
Affected Products:
CA Anti-Virus for the Enterprise (formerly eTrust Antivirus) r8
CA Threat Manager (formerly eTrust Integrated Threat Management) r8
CA Anti-Spyware for the Enterprise (formerly eTrust PestPatrol) r8
CA Protection Suites r3
Affected Platforms:
Windows
Status and Recommendation:
CA has issued an update to address the vulnerabilities. The
patched files are available as part of the product's automatic
content update. The following components must be enabled in order
to receive these updates: eTrust ITM Console Server must be
enabled to receive InoWeb.exe updates, and eTrust ITM Common must
be enabled to receive InoCore.dll updates.
How to determine if the installation is affected:
1. Using Windows Explorer, locate the files "InoWeb.exe" and
"InoCore.dll". By default, the files are located in the
"C:\Program Files\CA\eTrustITM" directory.
2. Right click on each of the files and select Properties.
3. Select the Version tab (or the Details tab if you are using
Windows Vista).
4. If either file version is earlier than indicated below, the
installation is vulnerable.
File Name File Version
InoWeb.exe 8.0.448.0
InoTask.dll 8.0.448.0
Workaround:
In situations where updating the product is not immediately
feasible, the following workaround can be used as a temporary
measure to reduce exposure.
For CVE-2007-2522, filter access to TCP port 12168.
