Vulnerability Information

Severity: Critical
Vulnerability Published: 2010-06-10
Patch Published: 2010-06-10
CVE [?]: CVE-2010-0284
CPE [?]: N/A

Synopsis

A web application on the remote Windows host has an arbitrary file upload vulnerability.

Description

The Administration Console component of Novell Access Manager or Novell iManager hosted on the remote web server has an arbitrary file upload vulnerability. Sending a specially crafted multipart POST request to '/nps/servlet/modulemanager' results in the upload of arbitrary data. Specifying a destination filename that contains a directory traversal string allows an attacker to write arbitrary files as SYSTEM. Only Windows installs are affected.

A remote attacker could exploit this to upload arbitrary files to the system, resulting in remote code execution.

Solution

Upgrade to Access Manager 3.1 SP2 / iManager 2.7 ftf3 or later.

Public Exploits

Target Network Port(s): 8443
Target Asset(s): Services/www
Exploit Available: True (Metasploit Framework, D2 Elliot)
Exploit Ease: Exploits are available

Here's the list of publicly known exploits and PoCs for verifying the Novell 'modulemanager' Servlet Arbitrary File Upload (intrusive check) vulnerability:

Metasploit: exploit/windows/http/novell_imanager_upload
[Novell iManager getMultiPartParameters Arbitrary File Upload]
D2 Elliot: novell_imanager_file_upload.html
[Novell iManager File Upload]

Before running any exploit against any system, make sure you are authorized by the owner of the target system(s) to perform such activity. In any other case, this would be considered as an illegal activity.
