Mac OS X : Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.x < 3.1.10010.0 / 4.x < 4.1.4011.0 Arbitrary File Write

medium Nessus Plugin ID 85542

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by an arbitrary file write vulnerability.

Description

The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client installed on the remote Mac OS X host is version 3.x prior to 3.1.10010.0 or 4.x prior to 4.1.4011.0. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, by convincing a user to connect to a malicious head-end system, to traverse outside a restricted path and thus write or overwrite arbitrary files in the active user's context.

Solution

Upgrade to Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client version 3.1.10010.0 / 4.1.4011.0 or later.
