Vulnerability Published: 2013-01-08
Patch Published: 2013-02-04
CVE [?]: CVE-2013-0156, CVE-2013-0333
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:apple:mac_os_x_server

Synopsis

The remote host is missing an update for OS X Server that fixes two security issues.

Description

The remote Mac OS X 10.8 host has a version of OS X Server installed that is prior to 2.2.1. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- A type casting issue exists in Ruby on Rails due to improper handling of XML parameters. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code through either the Profile Manager or Wiki Server components. (CVE-2013-0156)

- A type casting issue exists in Ruby on Rails due to improper handling of JSON data. A remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code through the Wiki Server component. (CVE-2013-0333)

Solution

Upgrade to Mac OS X Server v2.2.1 or later.

How to Run

Here is how to run the Mac OS X : OS X Server < 2.2.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

Click to start a New Scan.
Select Advanced Scan.
Navigate to the Plugins tab.
On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
On the left side table select MacOS X Local Security Checks plugin family.
On the right side table select Mac OS X : OS X Server < 2.2.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities plugin ID 64476.
Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl macosx_server_2_2_1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a macosx_server_2_2_1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - macosx_server_2_2_1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state macosx_server_2_2_1.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
