ESA-2013-080: RSA Security Analytics Multiple Vulnerabilities

EMC Identifier: ESA-2013-080

CVE Identifier: CVE-2013-6180  

Severity Rating: CVSS v2 Base Score: See below for individual scores

 

Affected Products:

RSA Security Analytics 10.x

RSA NetWitness NextGen 9.8

 

Unaffected Products:

RSA Security Analytics 10.3

 

Summary:  

RSA, The Security Division of EMC, announces security fixes to address multiple 
vulnerabilities in RSA Security Analytics.

 

Details:  

RSA Security Analytics 10.3 contains resolutions and updates to the following 
issues: 

 

1) RSA Security Analytics Untrusted User Agent Access Vulnerability 
(CVE-2013-6180)

 

CVSS v2 Base Score: 6.8 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)

 

RSA Security Analytics allows direct access to SA Core from other user agents 
in addition to the SA REST UI. This could allow untrusted user agents such as 
web browsers to conduct web application attacks against SA Core. 

 

RSA Security Analytics 10.3 introduces a security configuration setting to 
block access from potentially untrusted user agents and only allow direct 
access from the SA REST UI. See release notes for more details.

 

For 9.8 customers it is suggested that the REST service be turned off unless 
they are using Live.  If they are using Live, REST access to the Decoders would 
need to be allowed but access to desktop networks should not be allowed.

 


2) Previous versions of RSA Security Analytics contain security vulnerabilities 
in the underlying operating system of the appliances.

 


Recommendation:

RSA recommends that Security Analytics customers upgrade to RSA Security 
Analytics 10.3 and apply the recommended security configuration changes at 
their earliest opportunity.  

 

Customers using previous versions of Security Analytics can apply CentOS 
security updates by executing ?yum ?y update? from the command line of the 
CentOS based appliances. See release notes for more details.
