ESA-2011-036: RSA, The Security Division of EMC, announces the release of a 
Security Fix for RSA® Adaptive Authentication (On-Premise)

Advisories
 
Updated December 6, 2011 


Summary:

An issue with RSA® Adaptive Authentication (On-Premise) was discovered which in 
certain circumstances might affect the Device Recovery capability and Device 
Identification used by the defined policy.



Description:

CVE Identifiers: CVE-2011-2741, CVE-2011-2742

In certain circumstances the accuracy of the Device Recovery capability and 
Device Identification used by the defined policy might be affected by the data 
elements sent from the end user?s device.

This Security Fix provides remediation for items that cause this behavior 
through product fixes, as well as configuration and policy changes. More 
information on each of these items is included below.

RSA has identified and addressed the potential security flaws as part of this 
Security Fix: 

?In certain circumstances, device recovery capabilities and device 
identification used by the defined policy may be impacted by the data elements 
sent from the end user?s device. This may potentially allow the system to 
recover a previously non-registered device or allow access for a registered 
device despite forensic differences. This potential flaw affects both web and 
mobile browsers. CVE (Common Vulnerability Enumeration) ID for this issue 
CVE-2011-2741.
?In certain circumstances, the application may match device tokens sent from 
mobile apps without proper forensic evaluation used by the defined policy. This 
may potentially allow access from the mobile device to the protected 
application without a challenge. This potential flaw only affects mobile apps 
and does not affect web browsers. CVE (Common Vulnerability Enumeration) ID for 
this issue CVE-2011-2742.
In addition, the Security Fix provides better capabilities to differentiate 
between activities originating from web browsers, mobile browsers, and mobile 
apps. This also allows customers to enable / disable the Device Recovery for 
each.

Due to forensic similarities between browsers across mobile devices, RSA 
recommends that customers use these capabilities to disable device recovery 
specifically for mobile browsers.

Note: Due to the nature of above changes, deployment of this Security Fix may 
have an impact on existing challenge rates. As with any other Security Fix, RSA 
recommends that customers fully test the fix before going into production. 



Affected Versions:

The following versions of Adaptive Authentication (On-Premise) might be 
affected:

6.0.2.1 SP1 Patch 2 and SP1 Patch 3
6.0.2.1 SP2 and SP2 Patch 1
6.0.2.1 SP3 



Recommendation:

We strongly recommend that RSA customers should obtain the following security 
fixes:
