AlienVault OSSIM 'av-centerd' set_file() Remote Code Execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 76215

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running a version of AlienVault Open Source Security Information Management (OSSIM) that is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability in the 'av-centerd' SOAP service due to a failure to sanitize user input to the 'set_file' method. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

Note that this version is reportedly also affected by an additional remote code execution vulnerability as well as an information disclosure issue. However, Nessus did not test for these additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade to 4.8.0 or later.
