                       Security Advisory

Advisory Name: RSA SecurID Web Agent Heap Overflow
 Release Date: 06-05-2005
  Application: RSA SecurID Web Agent 5 
               RSA SecurID Web Agent 5.2
               RSA SecurID web Agent 5.3
     Platform: Windows 2000 / IIS
     Severity: Remote Code Execution 
       Author: Gary O'leary-Steele 
     Reported: See time line section below
Vendor status: See vendor statement in vendor response below
CVE Candidate: CAN-2005-XXXX  Requested
    Reference: http://www.sec-1.com/

Overview: 

RSA SecurID(R) is a popular strong authentication package deployed using a
number of variety of hardware or software authentication tokens.

RSA SecurID(R) two-factor authentication is based on something you know (a
password or PIN), and something you have (an authenticator) - providing a
much more reliable level of user authentication than reusable password. 

Details: 

Sec-1 has identified a exploitable Heap Overflow within the Web Agent which
could be used to execute code with LocalSystem privileges. Using the
chunked-encoding mechanism to send a large "chunk" of data it is possible to
overwrite critical portions of the heap which could lead to remote code
execution or a denial of service condition. Sec-1 were able to exploit this
vulnerability to gain remote access to a Windows IIS installation (Windows
2000
SP4 + all current MS Patches) with the RSA SecurID web agent installed. 

A proof of concept exploit has been provided to RSA.

Exploit Availability:

Sec-1 do not release exploit code to the general public. Attendees of the
Sec-1 Applied Hacking & Intrusion prevention course will recieve a copy of
this exploit as part of the Sec-1 Exploit Arsenal. Requests for a working
exploit will only be considered from professional IT Security Companies.

Time Line:

29-02-2004  - Directly contacted RSA via all publc addresses,
              worked with another securty consultancy in attempt to contact 
              RSA product security team.
   04-2005  - RSA contacted via telephone
15-04-2005  - NISCC informed (http://www.niscc.gov.uk/)
18-04-2005  - Reverse shell proof of concept sent to RSA for v5.2 of product
18-04-2005  - RSA send version 5.3 of product of testing
19-05-2005  - Initial proof of concept sent to RSA for v5.3 of product
21-04-2005  - RSA confirm crash within product
22-04-2005  - Reliable reverse shell proof of concept sent to RSA for v5.3
of 
              product
25-04-2005  - RSA send patch for testing
05-05-2005  - RSA release patch
06-05-2005  - Disclosure
