Version Summary:
IntelliShield has updated this security bulletin to correct information regarding the vulnerabilities in Cisco Secure Access Control Server.
Description
Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) versions prior to 5.2.0.26 patch 9 contain multiple vulnerabilities that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct cross-site request forgery attacks, disclose sensitive information, or execute arbitrary code on a targeted system.
The update fixes multiple vulnerabilities in the affected software that are due to insufficient sanitization on unspecified input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to insert arbitrary HTML code, which could be executed in a user's browser session in the context of the affected software.
Another vulnerability that is due to the affected software's failure to perform validity checks to verify HTTP requests has also been fixed.
Reports suggest that SQL injection vulnerabilities detected by a third-party vulnerability scanner were false positives.
To exploit the vulnerabilities, the attacker may provide a link that direct a user to a malicious site or file and use misleading language or instructions to persuade the user to follow the provided link.
