CVE-2017-12251
CWE-264
Summary
A vulnerability in the web console of the Cisco Cloud Services Platform (CSP)
2100 could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to interact maliciously
with the services or virtual machines (VMs) operating remotely on an affected
CSP device.
The vulnerability is due to weaknesses in the generation of certain
authentication mechanisms in the URL of the web console. An attacker could
exploit this vulnerability by browsing to one of the hosted VMs' URLs in Cisco
CSP and viewing specific patterns that control the web application's
mechanisms for authentication control. An exploit could allow the attacker to
access a specific VM on the CSP, which causes a complete loss of the system's
confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are
no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable

vulnerability.
Workarounds
There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
Fixed Software
Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability
described in this advisory. Customers may only install and expect support for
software versions and feature sets for which they have purchased a license. By
installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such software upgrades,
customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco software license:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html
Additionally, customers may only download software for which they have a valid
license, procured from Cisco directly, or through a Cisco authorized reseller
or partner. In most cases this will be a maintenance upgrade to software that
was previously purchased. Free security software updates do not entitle
customers to a new software license, additional software feature sets, or
major revision upgrades.
When considering software upgrades, customers are advised to regularly consult
the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the Cisco Security
Advisories and Alerts page, to determine exposure and a complete upgrade
solution.
In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain
sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software
configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If
the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance providers.
Customers Without Service Contracts
Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service
contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but are
unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should
obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco TAC:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_worldwide_contacts.html
Customers should have the product serial number available and be prepared to
provide the URL of this advisory as evidence of entitlement to a free upgrade.
Fixed Releases
This vulnerability is fixed in Cisco Cloud Services Platform Release 2.2.3 or
later. The software can be downloaded from the Software Center on Cisco.com by
navigating to Downloads Home > Products > Switches > Virtual Networking >
Cloud Services Platform 2100.
Exploitation and Public Announcements
The Cisco Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) is not aware of any
public announcements or malicious use of the vulnerability that is described
in this advisory.
