Subject: [RT-SA-2017-004] Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Disclosure in
 REDDOXX Appliance

Advisory: Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Disclosure in REDDOXX Appliance

CVE: GENERIC-MAP-NOMATCH
CVE URL: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=GENERIC-MAP-NOMATCH

(from the vendor's homepage)


More Details
============

The REDDOXX appliance [0] contains a PHP script called download.php. It
is available at http://www.example.com/download.php in normal
installations and resides at /opt/reddoxx/local/htdocs/download.php in
the local filesystem of the appliance. Through the ISO provided on
the vendor's homepage [1], it was possible to analyze this file and any
other file in a typical REDDOXX appliance installation.

The file contains the following source code (shortened to relevant
sections):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php
 [...]

 // For MD 2.0
 $fileName = $_GET['file'];

 [...]

 // For MD 2.0
 if ($fileName <> '') {
   $file = $fileName;
   $fileID = basename($fileName);
 }

 // Currently we only allow downloads from session directories
 if ((strpos($file, '/opt/reddoxx/wi/Sessions/') === false) &&
     (strpos($file, '/opt/reddoxx/data/temp/Sessions/') === false)) {
     die('File is not in session directory: ' . $file);
 }

 if(!file_exists($file))
 {
     [...]
 }
 else
 {
     // Set headers
     header('Pragma: public');
     header('Expires: 0');
     header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
     header('Cache-Control: private' ,false);

     header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
     header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $fileID. '"');
     header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
     header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
     header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));

     // Read the file from disk
     readfile($file);
 }
?>
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The script expects a URL parameter called "file" and stores its value in
the variable $fileName. The value of this variable is then copied to the
variable $file, which undergoes two different checks: First, the
function strpos() is used to check whether a certain substring is
contained in the value of the variable. The second check used the function
file_exists() to determine whether the file specified in the variable is
present in the filesystem.

In order to circumvent the first check, a path such as

------------------------------------------------------------------------
/opt/reddoxx/data/temp/Sessions/../../../../../etc/passwd
------------------------------------------------------------------------

can be specified, as there are no protections against directory
traversal in place. This path also passes the second check imposed by
the function file_exists(). Having bypassed both checks, attackers are
now able to reach the readfile() function and download arbitrary files.

Since no authentication checks are in place, the disclosure of arbitrary
files if also possible for unauthenticated attackers.

The same functionality is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting
vulnerability as described in rt-sa-2017-003 [2].


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

The following curl command-line can be used to trigger the vulnerability:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------


Workaround
==========

None


Fix
===

Update the appliance software to Version 2032 SP2.


Security Risk
=============

This vulnerability can be used by attackers to download arbitrary files
if the filename and path is known from filesystems reachable on the
appliance. Depending on the configuration of the appliance, attackers
can read the credentials stored in the configuration files or extract
session IDs from log files. There are also no authentication checks in
place. Therefore, the vulnerability poses a high risk.
