ESA-2013-029: RSA SecurID Sensitive Information Disclosure Vulnerability

EMC Identifier: ESA-2013-029

CVE Identifier: CVE-2013-0941

Severity Rating: CVSS v2 Base Score: 6.8 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C)

 

Affected Products:

RSA Authentication API versions prior to 8.1 SP1 

RSA Web Agent for Apache Web Server versions prior to 5.3.5 

RSA Web Agent for IIS versions prior to 5.3.5 

RSA PAM Agent versions prior to 7.0 

RSA Agent for Microsoft Windows versions prior to 6.1.4  

 

Unaffected Products:

RSA Authentication API versions 8.1 SP1 and later

RSA Web Agent for Apache Web Server versions 5.3.5 and later

RSA Web Agent for IIS versions 5.3.5 and later

RSA PAM Agent versions 7.0 and later

RSA Agent for Microsoft Windows version 6.1.4

RSA EAP Client 7.0 and later

RSA Authentication Agent for Microsoft Windows 7.1

RSA SecurID Authentication Agent 7.1  for Web for Apache Web Server

RSA SecurID Authentication Agent 7.1  for Web for Internet Information Services

 

Summary:  

The node secret in affected products was stored using an encryption key and encryption algorithm that is no longer considered effective by RSA standards. An attacker could potentially exploit this to eavesdrop on or modify network communications.



Details:  

The node secret is a symmetric encryption key that RSA® Authentication Manager and RSA Authentication Agents use to protect network communications. In affected products, the node secret is encrypted and stored on the agent host using a dated encryption algorithm and weak key. 

All agent software which leverages the RSA SecurID Authentication API has been updated to use stronger encryption and stronger keys.

Note: All agent software, whether shipped by RSA or one of its RSA Secured Partners, which leverage the RADIUS Protocol is NOT affected by this issue.
