Cisco Device Manager Command Execution Vulnerability

Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20130424-fmdm

Revision 1.0

For Public Release 2013 April 24 16:00  UTC (GMT)

+---------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary
=======

Cisco Device Manager contains a vulnerability that could allow an 
unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on a client host 
with the privileges of the user. This vulnerability affects Cisco Device 
Manager for the Cisco MDS 9000 Family and Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches 
when it is installed or launched via the Java Network Launch Protocol (JNLP) on 
a host running Microsoft Windows.

Cisco Device Manager installed or launched from Cisco Prime Data Center Network
Manager (DCNM) or Cisco Fabric Manager is not affected. This vulnerability can
only be exploited if the JNLP file is executed on systems running Microsoft 
Windows. The vulnerability affects the confidentiality, integrity, and 
availability of the client host performing the installation or execution of 
Cisco Device Manager via JNLP file. There is no impact on the Cisco MDS 9000 
Family or Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches.

Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability in 
the Cisco Device Manager for Cisco MDS 9000 Family Switches. Cisco Nexus 5000 
Series Switches have discontinued the support of the Cisco Device Manager 
installation via JNLP and updates are not available.

Workarounds that mitigate this vulnerability are available. This advisory is 
available at the following link:
