medium Nessus Plugin ID 109683

Synopsis

An application running on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of EMC RSA Authentication Manager running on the remote host is prior to 8.3 Patch 1 (8.3.0.1). It is, therefore affected by the following vulnerabilities:

- A flaw exists with the Security Console due to improper parsing of XML data. An authenticated remote attacker, with a specifically crafted XML data, could potentially cause a denial of service or access sensitive information. (CVE-2018-1247)

- A flaw exists with the Security Console, Operation Console and Self-Service Console due to improper sanitization of input when handling specially crafted requests. A context-dependent attacker could inject custom http headers, potentially poisoning the http cache and redirecting users. (CVE-2018-1248)

Solution

Upgrade to EMC RSA Authentication Manager version 8.3 Patch 1 (8.3.0.1) or later.
