Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In August 2012 (Gain Privilege)

The RADIUS extension in PacketFence before 3.3.0 uses a different user name than is used for authentication for users with custom VLAN assignment extensions, which allows remote attackers to spoof user identities via the User-Name RADIUS attribute.

The TRITON management console in Websense Web Security before 7.6 Hotfix 24 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and read arbitrary reports via a crafted uid field, in conjunction with a crafted userRoles field, in a cookie, as demonstrated by a request to explorer_wse/favorites.exe.

McAfee SmartFilter Administration, and SmartFilter Administration Bess Edition, before 4.2.1.01 does not require authentication for access to the JBoss Remote Method Invocation (RMI) interface, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .war file.

McAfee Email and Web Security (EWS) 5.5 through Patch 6 and 5.6 through Patch 3, and McAfee Email Gateway (MEG) 7.0.0 and 7.0.1, allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and obtain an admin session ID via unspecified vectors.

McAfee Email and Web Security (EWS) 5.x before 5.5 Patch 6 and 5.6 before Patch 3, and McAfee Email Gateway (MEG) 7.0 before Patch 1, does not disable the server-side session token upon the closing of the Management Console/Dashboard, which makes it easier for remote attackers to hijack sessions by capturing a session cookie and then modifying the response to a login attempt, related to a "Logout Failure" issue.

The (1) reports API and (2) administration feature in the comments API in the Ushahidi Platform before 2.5 do not require authentication, which allows remote attackers to generate reports and organize comments via API functions.

The email API in application/libraries/api/MY_Email_Api_Object.php in the Ushahidi Platform before 2.5 does not require authentication, which allows remote attackers to list, delete, or organize messages via a GET request.

Apache QPID 0.14, 0.16, and earlier uses a NullAuthenticator mechanism to authenticate catch-up shadow connections to AMQP brokers, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication.

The decode_credentials method in actionpack/lib/action_controller/metal/http_authentication.rb in Ruby on Rails 3.x before 3.0.16, 3.1.x before 3.1.7, and 3.2.x before 3.2.7 converts Digest Authentication strings to symbols, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by leveraging access to an application that uses a with_http_digest helper method, as demonstrated by the authenticate_or_request_with_http_digest method.

Condor before 7.8.2 allows remote attackers to bypass host-based authentication and execute actions such as ALLOW_ADMINISTRATOR or ALLOW_WRITE by connecting from a system with a spoofed reverse DNS hostname.

lib/puppet/network/authstore.rb in Puppet before 2.7.18, and Puppet Enterprise before 2.5.2, supports use of IP addresses in certnames without warning of potential risks, which might allow remote attackers to spoof an agent by acquiring a previously used IP address.

Tridium Niagara AX Framework through 3.6 uses predictable values for (1) session IDs and (2) keys, which might allow remote attackers to bypass authentication via a brute-force attack.

The administrative interface in the embedded web server on the BreakingPoint Storm appliance before 3.0 does not require authentication for the gwt/BugReport script, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by downloading a .tgz file.

Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.0 through 3.0.08066 does not ensure that authentication makes use of a legitimate certificate, which allows user-assisted man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a crafted certificate, aka Bug ID CSCtz29197.

EMC Cloud Tiering Appliance (aka CTA, formerly FMA) 9.0 and earlier, and Cloud Tiering Appliance Virtual Edition (CTA/VE) 9.0 and earlier, allows remote attackers to obtain GUI administrative access by sending a crafted file during the authentication phase.

libsoup 2.32.2 and earlier does not validate certificates or clear the trust flag when the ssl-ca-file does not exist, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication by connecting with a SSL connection.

The web interface in McAfee Firewall Reporter before 5.1.0.13 does not properly implement cookie authentication, which allows remote attackers to obtain access, and disable anti-virus functionality, via an HTTP request.

McAfee LinuxShield 1.5.1 and earlier does not properly implement client authentication, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain Admin access to the statistics server by leveraging a client account.
