Vulnerability Note VU#173009

Original Release Date: 2010-06-29 | Last Revised: 2010-07-01

Overview

The Snare Agent web interface is susceptible to cross-site request forgery attacks.

Description

The web interface allows the administrator to manage several agent settings, including changing the listening port and password. These HTTP requests do not perform proper validity checks and are susceptible to a cross-site request forgery attack.

The vulnerability is reported in the following products and versions:

    • Snare for Solaris 3.2.3 and prior
    • Snare for Windows 3.1.7 and prior
    • Snare for Linux 1.5.0 and prior

    • Snare for Irix 1.4 and prior
    • Epilog for Windows 1.5.3 and prior
    • Epilog for Unix version 1.2 and prior

Impact

An attacker can change several agent settings, such as the password or listening port, if able to trick an administrator into visiting a specially crafted link.

Solution

The vendor has released patched versions of the agent to remediate this issue.
