Title: ====== Barracuda Web Filter 910 5.0.015 - Multiple Vulnerabilities Date: ===== 2012-08-02 References: =========== http://www.vulnerability-lab.com/get_content.php?id=570 Barracuda Networks Security ID: BNSEC-279/BNYF-5533 VL-ID: ===== 570 Common Vulnerability Scoring System: ==================================== 4.5 Introduction: ============= The Barracuda Web Filter is an integrated content filtering, application blocking and malware protection solution that is powerful, easy to use and affordable for businesses of all sizes. It enforces Internet usage policies by blocking access to Web sites and Internet applications that are not related to business, and it easily and completely eliminates spyware and other forms of malware from your organization. No more productivity loss trying to repair computers or make computers usable again. Blocks access to Web sites based on domain, URL pattern, or content category Blocks downloads based on file type Blocks applications that access the Internet, including IM, music services, and software update utilities Integrates with safe search filters built into popular images search engines Provides integrated gateway and desktop spyware protection Uses Barracuda Web Security Agents compatible with Windows PC?s and Macs to enforce Internet policies on off-network computers The Barracuda Web Filter combines preventative, reactive, and proactive measures to form a complete Web filtering solution. Designed for the enterprise, the Barracuda Web Filter enables you to set up custom policies for particular users and groups across customizable time ranges. The Barracuda Web Filter integrates with popular LDAP directory servers, such as Microsoft Active Directory, for both authentication and group membership information on which to apply custom policies. Sample uses of group policies include: Restricting access to job board Web sites to only the Human Resources group Defining separate policies for teachers and students at a school Enabling compliance officers unrestricted access to the Web for investigation Providing external instant messaging (e.g., AIM) access only to specific users or groups Restricting personal Web browsing to non-working hours For organizations that do not utilize directory servers, policies can be defined for unauthenticated users as a whole, locally defined users and groups, or network IP address ranges.

Report-Timeline: ================ 2012-05-01: Researcher Notification & Coordination 2012-05-08: Vendor Notification 2012-06-13: Vendor Response/Feedback 2012-07-25: Vendor Fix/Patch 2012-08-02: Public or Non-Public Disclosure Status: ======== Published Affected Products: ================== Barracuda Networks Product: Barracuda Web Filter Appliance 910 v5.0.0.015 Exploitation-Technique: ======================= Remote Severity: ========= Medium Details: ======== Multiple persistent input validation vulnerabilities are detected in the Barracudas Web Filter Application v5.0.0.015 Appliance Model 910. The bugs allow remote attackers to implement/inject malicious script code on the application side (persistent). Successful exploitation of the vulnerability can lead to session hijacking (manager/admin) or stable (persistent) context manipulation. Exploitation requires low user inter action. The vulnerability is located in the NTLM Edit - Host & Domain Name which is bound to the affected vulnerable Existing Authentication Services listing. Another vulnerability is located on the upload key tab in combination with the unsanitized short domain name input field + output listing. Vulnerable Module(s): [+] Authentification > New Authentication Service [-] NTLM - Server Hostname & Domain Name - Existing Authentication Services [+] Authentification > Kerberos > Advanced Settings [-] Upload Key Tab File in combination with alternative Short Domain Name Picture(s): ../1.png ../2.png Proof of Concept: ================= The persistent web vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers with high[-](medium+) user inter action or via local low privileged user account with low require user inter action.

This release is generally available (to all our customers) July 25th, 2012. The persistent vulnerabilities can be patched by a char restriction of the vulnerable input fields & by parsing the input/output. Secure the input preview listing of edit ntlm and the output listing in Existing Authentication Services to secure the complete function. Risk: ===== The security risk of the both persistent input validation vulnerabilities at the same location are estimated as medium(+).
