KL-001-2018-009 : Dell OpenManage Network Manager Multiple Vulnerabilities Title: Dell OpenManage Network Manager Multiple Vulnerabilities Advisory ID: KL-001-2018-009 Publication Date: 2018.11.05 Publication URL: https://www.korelogic.com/Resources/Advisories/KL-001-2018-009.txt 1. Vulnerability Details Affected Vendor: Dell Affected Product: OpenManage Network Manager Affected Version: 6.2.0.51 SP3 Platform: Embedded Linux CWE Classification: CWE-285: Improper Authorization, CWE-284: Improper Access Control Impact: Privilege Escalation Attack vector: MySQL, HTTP CVE ID: CVE-2018-15767, CVE-2018-15768 2. Vulnerability Description Dell OpenManage Network Manager exposes a MySQL listener that can be accessed with default credentials (CVE-2018-15768). This MySQL service is running as the root user, so an attacker can exploit this configuration to, e.g., deploy a backdoor and escalate privileges into the root account (CVE-2018-15767). 3. Technical Description The appliance binds on 3306/mysql using the 0.0.0.0 IP address. The default IPTables policy is ACCEPT and the rule table is empty. Using any of three default accounts, a malicious user can exploit native MySQL functionality to place a JSP shell into the directory of a web server on the file system and subsequently make calls into it. 4. Mitigation and Remediation Recommendation The vendor informed KoreLogic that all default passwords can be changed and are documented in the OpenManage Network Manager Installation Guide. Dell recommends all customers change these default passwords upon installation. The vendor has addressed these vulnerabilities in version 6.5.3. Release notes and download instructions can be found at: https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/drivers/driversdetails?driverId=5XC0J 5.
