CVE-2019-1862    

CWE-20

CVSS Score:
7.2  AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:X/RL:X/RC:X

Summary

  o A vulnerability in the web-based user interface (Web UI) of Cisco IOS XE
    Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute commands
    on the underlying Linux shell of an affected device with root privileges.

    The vulnerability occurs because the affected software improperly sanitizes
    user-supplied input. An attacker who has valid administrator access to an
    affected device could exploit this vulnerability by supplying a crafted
    input parameter on a form in the Web UI and then submitting that form. A
    successful exploit could allow the attacker to run arbitrary commands on
    the device with root privileges, which may lead to complete system
    compromise.

    Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
    are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Affected Products

  o Vulnerable Products

    This vulnerability affects Cisco devices that are running an affected
    release of Cisco IOS XE Software with the HTTP Server feature enabled. The
    default state of the HTTP Server feature is version dependent.

    For information about which Cisco IOS XE Software releases are vulnerable,
    see the Fixed Software section of this advisory.

    Assessing the HTTP Server Configuration

    To determine whether the HTTP Server feature is enabled for a device,
    administrators can log in to the device and use the show running-config |
    include ip http server|secure-server command in the CLI to check for the
    presence of the ip http server command or the ip http secure-server command
    in the global configuration. If either command is present and configured,
    the HTTP Server feature is enabled for the device.

    The following example shows the output of the show running-config | include
    ip http server|secure-server command for a router that has the HTTP Server
    feature enabled:

        Router# show running-config | include ip http server|secure-server

        ip http server
        ip http secure-server

    The presence of either command in the device's configuration indicates that
    the HTTP Server feature is enabled.

    Determining the Cisco IOS XE Software Release

    To determine which Cisco IOS XE Software release is running on a device,
    administrators can log in to the device, use the show version command in
    the CLI, and then refer to the system banner that appears. If the device is
    running Cisco IOS XE Software, the system banner displays Cisco IOS
    Software , Cisco IOS XE Software , or similar text.

    The following example shows the output of the command for a device that is
    running Cisco IOS XE Software Release 16.2.1 and has an installed image
    name of CAT3K_CAA-UNIVERSALK9-M :

        ios-xe-device# show version

        Cisco IOS Software, Catalyst L3 Switch Software (CAT3K_CAA-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version Denali 16.2.1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

        .

    For information about the naming and numbering conventions for Cisco IOS XE
    Software releases, see the Cisco IOS and NX-OS Software Reference Guide .

    Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable

    Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory
    are known to be affected by this vulnerability.

    Cisco has confirmed that this vulnerability does not affect Cisco IOS
    Software, Cisco IOS XR Software, or Cisco NX-OS Software.

Workarounds

  o There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Fixed Software

  o 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:
    https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/end-user-license-agreement.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:
    https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/web/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.

    Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software

    To help customers determine their exposure to vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS
    and IOS XE Software, Cisco provides a tool, the Cisco IOS Software Checker 
    , that identifies any Cisco Security Advisories that impact a specific
    software release and the earliest release that fixes the vulnerabilities
    described in each advisory ("First Fixed"). If applicable, the tool also
    returns the earliest release that fixes all the vulnerabilities described
    in all the advisories identified ("Combined First Fixed").

    Customers can use this tool to perform the following tasks:

       Initiate a search by choosing one or more releases from a drop-down
        list or uploading a file from a local system for the tool to parse
       Enter the output of the show version command for the tool to parse
       Create a custom search by including all previously published Cisco
        Security Advisories, a specific advisory, or all advisories in the most
        recent bundled publication

    To determine whether a release is affected by any published Cisco Security
    Advisory, use the Cisco IOS Software Checker on Cisco.com or enter a Cisco
    IOS or IOS XE Software release-for example, 15.1(4)M2 or 3.13.8S -in the
    following field:

    [                    ] [Check]

    By default, the Cisco IOS Software Checker includes results only for
    vulnerabilities that have a Critical or High Security Impact Rating (SIR).
    To include results for Medium SIR vulnerabilities, use the Cisco IOS
    Software Checker on Cisco.com and check the Medium check box in the Impact
    Rating drop-down list.

    For a mapping of Cisco IOS XE Software releases to Cisco IOS Software
    releases, refer to the Cisco IOS XE 2 Release Notes , Cisco IOS XE 3S
    Release Notes , or Cisco IOS XE 3SG Release Notes , depending on the Cisco
    IOS XE Software release.

    Note: Starting with Cisco IOS XE Software Release 16.9.1, any upgrade will
    require Smart Licensing. Customers who plan to upgrade Cisco IOS XE to
    Release 16.9.1 or later are advised to consider the Smart Licensing
    requirement. The following documentation provides additional information:
    Smart Licensing .
