2. VULNERABILITY INFORMATION
Class: DoS [CWE-862]
Impact: DoS
Remotely Exploitable: Yes
Locally Exploitable: No
CVE Name: CVE-2015-2816


3. VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION
An attacker can use a missing authorization check to access the service
without any authorization procedures and use service functionality that
has restricted access. This can lead to information disclosure,
privilege escalation, and other attacks.


4. VULNERABLE PACKAGES
SAP Afaria 7
Other versions are probably affected too, but they were not checked.


5. SOLUTIONS AND WORKAROUNDS
A vulnerability has been discovered in certain landscape configurations
of SAP Afaria that utilize XcListener for initiating client-to-server
communications. SAP has released security patches for the vulnerable
clients, Windows Mobile, Windows CE, and Windows. Windows Phone is not
affected. SAP strongly recommends that customers patch their servers.
To be vulnerable, XcListener must be an active process. The Windows
client enrollment policy allows administrators to enable/disable
XcListener with the advanced option “Outbound listener and firewall”.
XCListener listens to the port 3005. If the port 3005 is not exposed
externally, then the vulnerability is only accessible locally on the
machine.

Patching instructions:
1) Download hotfix
- SAP Afaria 7 SP5 Hotfix 8
- SAP Afaria 7 SP4 Hotfix 16
2) Apply server hotfix
The server version of XcListener will be patched when the hotfix is
applied. The clients will be updated through the Afaria ESD process as
they connect to the server.
