Summary
Multiple vulnerabilities exist in the Cisco Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Client software. These vulnerabilities are documented as Cisco Bug IDs
CSCdt35749, CSCdt60391, CSCdw87717, CSCdx89416 and CSCdy37058. There are
no workarounds available to mitigate the effects of these vulnerabilities.
This advisory will be posted at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/vpnclient-multiple2-vuln-pub.shtml.
Affected Products
The VPN Client software program runs on the following platforms.
* Microsoft Windows based PC.
* Red Hat Version 6.2 Linux (Intel), or compatible distribution, using
kernel Version 2.2.12 or later. It does not support kernel Version
2.5.
* Solaris UltraSPARC running a 32-bit or a 64-bit kernel OS Version 2.6
or later.
* Mac OS X Version 10.1.0 or later.
+-------------------------------------------------+

| packet vulnerability | 3.0.5 |
| | * 2.x.x |

| | * 2.x.x |
+-------------------------------------------------+
No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these
vulnerabilities.
Details
The VPN Client software program on a remote workstation, communicating
with a Cisco VPN device on an enterprise network or with a service
provider, creates a secure connection over the Internet. Through this
connection you can access a private network as if you were an onsite user.
+-------------------------------------------------+
| DDTS Description | Details |
|--------------------+----------------------------|
| CSCdt35749 - | The VPN Client is |
| NETBIOS TCP packet | vulnerable to NETBIOS TCP |
| vulnerability | packets that have their |
| | source and destination |
| | ports set to 137 (NETBIOS |
| | Name Service). Upon |
| | receiving such a packet, |
| | the VPN Client crashes. |
|--------------------+----------------------------|
| CSCdt60391 - Group | There is a utility program |
| passwords visible | under Windows that can |
| using utility | decipher the group |
| program | password field, which is |
| | shown as a series of |
| | asterisks (***...) on the |
| | authentication property |
| | page of the VPN Client. |
|--------------------+----------------------------|
| CSCdw87717 - | When a VPN Client connects |
| Concentrator | to a VPN Concentrator |
| certificate | using certificates, the |
| identity | VPN Client does not have |
| vulnerability | the ability to verify that |
| | specific certificate DN |
| | fields match in the |
| | certificate received from |
| | the VPN Concentrator. |
|--------------------+----------------------------|
| CSCdx89416 - | The random number |
| Random number | generation process in the |
| generation | VPN Client software has |
| improvement | been significantly |
| | improved to increase the |
| | randomness of the |
| | generated numbers. |
|--------------------+----------------------------|
| CSCdy37058 - TCP | It is possible to get the |
| filter | VPN Client, which is |
| vulnerability | configured for all tunnel |
| | mode (split tunneling |
| | disabled mode), to |
| | acknowledge a TCP packet |
| | via the tunnel-assigned |
| | IP, when the packet is |
| | sent to it from outside |
| | the tunnel. The 3.5.x |
| | releases are protected |
| | against this vulnerability |
| | if the firewall is |
| | configured to be in |
| | "always on" mode. The |
| | 3.6(Rel) release is |
| | vulnerable even when the |
| | firewall is in "always on" |
| | mode. |
+-------------------------------------------------+
These vulnerabilities are documented in the Cisco Bug Toolkit as Bug IDs
CSCdt35749, CSCdt60391, CSCdw87717, CSCdx89416 and CSCdy37058, and can be
viewed after 2002 September 6 at 1500 UTC. To access this tool, you must
be a registered user and you must be logged in.
Impact
+-------------------------------------------------+
| DDTS Description | Impact |
|---------------------+---------------------------|
| CSCdt35749 - | This vulnerability can be |
| NETBIOS TCP packet | exploited to initiate a |
| vulnerability | denial-of-service attack. |

| CSCdt60391 - Group | Unintended disclosure of |
| passwords visible | the group password. |
| using utility | |
| program | |
|---------------------+---------------------------|
| CSCdw87717 - | This vulnerability could |
| Concentrator | be exploited to initiate |
| certificate | a man-in-the-middle |
| identity | attack. |
| vulnerability | |
|---------------------+---------------------------|
| CSCdx89416 - Random | Improvement in the |
| number generation | randomness of random |
| improvement | numbers generated for use |
| | by the VPN Client. |
|---------------------+---------------------------|
| CSCdy37058 - TCP | This vulnerability could |
| filter | be exploited to leak |
| vulnerability | information about the VPN |
| | Client workstation. |

The procedure to upgrade on the various platforms to the fixed software
version is detailed in the documentation available at
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/vpn/client/.
Obtaining Fixed Software
Cisco is offering free software upgrades to address these vulnerabilities
for all affected customers. Customers may only install and expect support
for the feature sets they have purchased.
Customers with service contracts should contact their regular update
channels to obtain the free software upgrade identified via this advisory.
For most customers with service contracts, this means that upgrades should
be obtained through the Software Center on Cisco's worldwide website at
http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/vpn/client/ . To access the
software download URL, you must be a registered user and you must be
logged in.
Customers whose Cisco products are provided or maintained through a prior
or existing agreement with third-party support organizations such as Cisco
Partners, authorized resellers, or service providers should contact that
support organization for assistance with obtaining the free software
upgrade(s).
Customers who purchased directly from Cisco but who do not hold a Cisco
service contract, and customers who purchase through third-party vendors
but are unsuccessful at obtaining fixed software through their point of
sale, should obtain fixed software by contacting the Cisco Technical
Assistance Center (TAC) using the contact information listed below. In
these cases, customers are entitled to obtain an upgrade to a later
version of the same release or as indicated by the applicable corrected
software version in Software Versions and Fixes.
Cisco TAC contacts are as follows:
* +1 800 553 2447 (toll free from within North America)
* +1 408 526 7209 (toll call from anywhere in the world)
