Cisco Small Business RV160, RV160W, RV260, RV260P, and RV260W VPN Routers
Arbitrary File Write Vulnerabilities
Priority: High
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-rv160-260-filewrite-7x9mnKjn
First Published: 2021 February 3 16:00 GMT
Version 1.0: Final
Workarounds: No workarounds available
Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvw19856 CSCvw22856
CVE Names: CVE-2021-1296 CVE-2021-1297
CWEs: CWE-36
Summary
o Multiple vulnerabilities in the web-based management interface of Cisco
Small Business RV160, RV160W, RV260, RV260P, and RV260W VPN Routers could
allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct directory traversal
attacks and overwrite certain files that should be restricted on an
affected system.
These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient input validation. An attacker
could exploit these vulnerabilities by using the web-based management
interface to upload a file to location on an affected device that they
should not have access to. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to
overwrite files on the file system of the affected device.
Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities.
There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.
This advisory is available at the following link:

Workarounds
o There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.
Fixed Software
o Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerabilities
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 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.
Fixed Releases
Cisco fixed these vulnerabilities in firmware releases 1.0.01.02 and later
for Cisco RV160, RV160W, RV260, RV260P, and RV260W Routers.
