__________________________________________________________ The U.S. Department of Energy Computer Incident Advisory Capability ___ __ __ _ ___ / | /_\ / \___ __|__ / \ \___ __________________________________________________________ INFORMATION BULLETIN HP Web JetAdmin Vulnerabilities [ISS #15989] May 5, 2004 12:00 GMT Number O-136 ______________________________________________________________________________ PROBLEM: HP JetAdmin prior to 7.5 possibly others, has several security vulnerabilities that can be exploited by remote attacker. 1) A specially-crafted HTTP request can disclose the source content of certain file types. (ISS #15980) 2) The file framework.ini can be used to obtain sensitive information. (ISS# 15981 & ISS #15982) 3) A weak encryption sceme is used to protect the administration password and username. (ISS #15984) 4) The weak encryption scheme allows captured packets to be used later in a replay attack. (ISS# 15985) 5) Password validation can be bypassed to use services that are reserved to administrative users. (ISS# 15986) 6) Arbitrary data can be written to the file cache.ini which has session-specific information. (ISS #15988) 7) Installed programs can be executed, possibly with SYSTSM or root privileges. (ISS #15989) PLATFORM: HP JetAdmin 6.2 and earlier HP JetAdmin 6.5 HP JetAdmin 7.0 Various: Any operating system Any version DAMAGE: A remote attacker could run a program, possibly with SYSTEM level or root privileges. SOLUTION: Upgrade to the latest version of HP Web JetAdmin (7.5 or later). ______________________________________________________________________________ VULNERABILITY The risk is MEDIUM. A remote attacker can run code with SYSTEM ASSESSMENT: level or root privileges. ______________________________________________________________________________ LINKS: CIAC BULLETIN: http://www.ciac.org/ciac/bulletins/o-136.shtml ORIGINAL BULLETIN: http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/15989 ADDITIONAL LINKS: Visit HEWLETT PACKARD Subscription Service for: HPSBPI01026 SSRT2397 ISS X-Force Security Alerts http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/15980 http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/15981 http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/15982 http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/15984 http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/15985 http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/15986 http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/15988 ______________________________________________________________________________ [***** Start of CIAC Note *****] ISS has written notices on several of the vulnerabilities that are addressed by the HP upgrade.
