Summary
Two vulnerabilities exist in Cisco Unified Service Monitor and Cisco Unified Operations Manager software that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on affected servers.
Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities.
Workarounds are available to mitigate these vulnerabilities.
This advisory is posted at http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20110914-cusm.
Note: CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution is also affected by these vulnerabilities. A separate advisory for CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution is available at http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20110914-lms.
Affected Products
Vulnerable Products
All versions of Cisco Unified Service Monitor and Cisco Unified Operations Manager prior to 8.6 are affected.
To determine the Cisco Unified Service Monitor and Cisco Unified Operations Manager software version navigate to Administration > Software Center (Common Services) > Software Update. The Software Update page displays the licensing and software version.
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
No other Cisco products other than the CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution are currently known to be affected by these vulnerabilities.
Details
Cisco Unified Service Monitor and Cisco Unified Operations Manager are products from the Cisco Unified Communications Management Suite. They provides a way to continuously monitor active calls supported by the Cisco Unified Communications System.
Two vulnerabilities exist in Cisco Unified Service Monitor and Cisco Unified Operations Manager software that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on affected servers. These vulnerabilities can be triggered by sending a series of crafted packets to the affected server over TCP port 9002.
Both of these vulnerabilities are documented in Cisco bug ID CSCtn42961 ( registered customers only) and have been assigned CVE ID CVE-2011-2738.
Vulnerability Scoring Details
CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability severity and helps determine urgency and priority of response.
Cisco has provided a base and temporal score. Customers can then compute environmental scores to assist in determining the impact of the vulnerability in individual networks.
Cisco has provided an FAQ to answer additional questions regarding CVSS at
http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html .
Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to help compute the environmental impact for individual networks at
http://intellishield.cisco.com/security/alertmanager/cvss .

Impact
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on affected servers.
Software Versions and Fixes
When considering software upgrades, also consult http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt and any subsequent advisories to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution.
In all cases, customers should exercise caution to be certain the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or your contracted maintenance provider for assistance.
These vulnerabilities have been corrected in Cisco Unified Service Monitor and Cisco Unified Operations Manager software version 8.6.
Cisco Unified Service Monitor and Cisco Unified Operations Manager software can be downloaded from the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/navigator.html?mdfid=280110371&i=rm
Workarounds
In installations of Cisco Unified Service Monitor or Cisco Unified Operations Manager where these applications are running on the same system, as the DMF Broker, the administrator can change the following registry key as a workaround:
Change the Args parameter of of the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco\Resource Manager\CurrentVersion\Daemons\DfmBroker from --output --port=9002 to --output --port=9002 --accept=127.0.0.1,<hostname>
Note: <hostname> is the hostname of the Cisco Unified Service Monitor and Cisco Unified Operations Manager system. Restart the Daemon Manager after updating the registry.
Mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the network are available in the Cisco Applied Mitigation Bulletin companion document for this advisory, which is available at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-amb-201100914-cusm-lms.shtml
Obtaining Fixed Software
Customers may only install and expect support for the feature sets they have purchased. By installing, downloading, accessing or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to be bound by the terms of Cisco's software license terms found at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html , or as otherwise set forth at Cisco.com Downloads at http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-usingswc.shtml .
Do not contact psirt@cisco.com or security-alert@cisco.com for software upgrades
Customers with Service Contracts
Customers Using Third-Party Support Organizations
The effectiveness of any workaround or fix is dependent on specific customer situations, such as product mix, network topology, traffic behavior, and organizational mission. Due to the variety of affected products and releases, customers should consult with their service provider or support organization to ensure any applied workaround or fix is the most appropriate for use in the intended network before it is deployed.
Customers Without Service Contracts
Customers who purchase direct from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service contract, and customers who purchase through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should acquire upgrades by contacting the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). TAC contacts are as follows.
-
+1 800 553 2447 (toll free from within North America)
-
+1 408 526 7209 (toll call from anywhere in the world)
-
e-mail: tac@cisco.com
Customers should have their product serial number available and be prepared to give the URL of this notice as evidence of entitlement to a free upgrade. Free upgrades for non-contract customers must be requested through the TAC.
