 MA 300 - Weak Pin Verification

=== LSE Leading Security Experts GmbH - Security Advisory 2014-07-13 ===

Grand MA 300 Fingerprint Reader - Weak Pin Verification
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Affected Versions
=================
Grand MA 300/ID with firmware 6.60


Issue Overview
==============
Vulnerability Type: Weak Pin Verification
Technical Risk: high
Likelihood of Exploitation: medium
Vendor: Granding
Vendor URL: http://www.granding.com/productdetail/46/.aspx
Credits: LSE Leading Security Experts GmbH Eric Sesterhenn
Advisory URL: https://www.lsexperts.de/advisories/lse-2014-07-13.txt
Advisory Status: Public
CVE-Number: CVE-2014-5380 and CVE-2014-5381
CVE URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-5380 and
  http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-5381



Impact
======
A weakness was found in the Grand MA 300 fingerprint access control
device, which allows the retrieval of the access pin from
sniffed data (CVE-2014-5380), as well as a weakness, which allows a
fast brute-force attack on the pin (CVE-2014-5381).


Issue Description
=================
The cipher do encode the pin inside the network or wigand traffic
contains a flaw which allows to retrieve the pin an weakens the
resitance against brute-force attacks.



Temporary Workaround and Fix
============================
Due to the proprietary nature of the product, we are unable
to provide a fix. As a workarount disable the devices entirely
or make sure no physical access to the ethernet or wigand interfaces
are possible.


Proof of Concept
================

The following perl script shows the weak pin encoding,
and allows a bruteforce.

# This brute-forces the pin of a Grand MA 300 Fingerprint
# Access device in less than 5 minutes, if the pin
# is between 1 and 4294967296.

the pin from a captured packet.
