+------------------------------------------------------------+

Note: Microsoft Windows Mobile versions are affected by the Arbitrary
Program Execution Vulnerability. No fixed versions of the Cisco
AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows Mobile are planned.

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------

The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Apple iOS and the
IPsec-only Cisco VPN Client are not affected by these
vulnerabilities.

No other Cisco products are currently known to be affected by these
vulnerabilities.

Details
=======

The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is the Cisco
next-generation VPN client, which provides remote users with secure
IPsec (IKEv2) or SSL Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections to
Cisco 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances (ASA) and devices that
are running Cisco IOS Software.

The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is affected by the
following vulnerabilities:

Arbitrary Program Execution Vulnerability
+----------------------------------------

The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client can be deployed to remote
users from the VPN headend, or it can be installed before the
endpoint connects to the VPN headend, a process known as
pre-deployment. When the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is
pre-deployed, the client software is installed and run like any other
application.

When the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is deployed from the
VPN headend, an SSL connection is initiated to the VPN headend using
a web browser. After the user logs in, the browser displays a portal
window and when the user clicks the "Start AnyConnect" link, the
process of downloading the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client
begins. This action causes the browser to first download a "helper"
application that aids in downloading and executing the actual Cisco
AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. The helper application is a Java
applet on the Linux and MacOS X platforms, and either a Java applet
on the Windows platform or an ActiveX control if the browser is
capable of utilizing ActiveX controls. The downloaded helper
application is executed in the context of the originating site in the
user's web browser. The helper application then downloads the Cisco
AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client from the VPN headend and executes
it.

The helper application fails to properly validate the authenticity of
the downloaded Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client executable
when the client is deployed from the VPN headend. An attacker could
create a malicious web page that looks like the normal VPN web login
page and entice a user, through social engineering or exploitation of
other vulnerabilities, to visit it. This would allow the attacker to
supply an arbitrary executable that the helper application would
download and execute on the machine of the affected user. This
arbitrary executable would be executed with the same operating system
privileges under which the web browser was run.

Fixed versions of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client use
code signing to validate the authenticity of components downloaded
from the VPN headend.

This vulnerability is documented in Cisco Bug ID CSCsy00904 for
Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client on the Microsoft Windows
platform, and in Cisco Bug ID CSCsy05934 for Cisco AnyConnect Secure
Mobility Client on the Linux and Apple MacOS X platforms. Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) IDs CVE-2011-2039 (for
CSCsy00904) and CVE-2011-2040 (for CSCsy05934) have been assigned for
these vulnerabilities.

Additional Considerations for the Arbitrary Program Execution
Vulnerability
+------------------------------------------------------------

Note that while new versions of the ActiveX control and Java applet
that are shipped with the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client
make use of code signing to validate the authenticity of components
downloaded from the VPN headend, there is still the issue of old
versions that do not validate downloaded components. An attacker may
engineer a web page to supply an affected version of the ActiveX
control or Java applet and still accomplish arbitrary program
execution because of the lack of authenticity validation.

Mitigating the risk of old versions of the ActiveX control can be
accomplished in the following ways:

  * Load fixed Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client versions on
    the VPN headend and establish a VPN connection (via web browser
    or standalone client). This action will cause the new version of
    the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, including a new
    version of the ActiveX control to install. When this occurs, an
    old version of the ActiveX control will not be instantiated if
    one is presented for download.

  * Pre-deploy a fixed version of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility
    Client through enterprise software upgrade infrastructure. This
    action accomplishes the same result as the previous
    recommendation -- it deploys new, fixed versions of the ActiveX
    control so that old, vulnerable versions of the control are not
    instantiated if one is presented for download.

  * If deploying the client from the VPN headend is not needed, then
    the kill bit for the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client
    ActiveX control can be set locally. This action prevents the
    ActiveX control from being instantiated under any scenario.
    Instructions for setting the kill bit are beyond the scope of
    this document; refer to the Microsoft Support article "How to
    stop an ActiveX control from running in Internet Explorer" at
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240797 and the Microsoft Security
    Vulnerability Research & Defense's "Kill-Bit FAQ" blog posts
    referenced in the Microsoft Support article for more information.
    The CLSID (Class Identifier) for the ActiveX control used by the
    Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is
    55963676-2F5E-4BAF-AC28-CF26AA587566, and the ProgID (Program
    Identifier) is "Cisco.AnyConnect.VPNWeb.1". Note that this CLSID
    did not change with new versions of the ActiveX control that
    implement code signing validation.

Mitigating the risk of old versions of the Java applet can be
accomplished by blacklisting old, vulnerable versions using the Jar
blacklist feature introduced with Java SE 6 Update 14. For
information on the Jar blacklist feature refer to the Java SE 6
Update 14 release notes, available at:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/6u14-137039.html

The jar files to be blacklisted are identified by the following SHA-1
message digests:

    # 2.3.0254, 2.3.1003, 2.3.2016, 2.4.0202, 2.4.1012,
    # 2.5.0217, 2.5.1025, 2.5.2001, 2.5.2006, 2.5.2010,
    # 2.5.2011, 2.5.2014, 2.5.2017, 2.5.2018, 2.5.2019
    SHA1-Digest-Manifest : xmarT5s8kwnKRLxnCOoLUnxnveE=

    # 2.2.0133, 2.2.0136, 2.2.0140
    SHA1-Digest-Manifest : 2wXAWNws4uNdCioU1eoCOS4+J3o=

    # 2.0.0343, 2.1.0148
    SHA1-Digest-Manifest : OlNnvozFCxbJZbRfGiLckOE8uFQ=


Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
+---------------------------------------

Unprivileged users can elevate their privileges to those of the
LocalSystem account by enabling the Start Before Logon (SBL) feature
and interacting with the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client
graphical user interface in the Windows logon screen.

To prevent this issue, fixed versions of the Cisco AnyConnect Secure
Mobility Client limit the amount of interaction that is possible in
the client's graphical user interface when it is displayed on the
Windows logon screen.

This vulnerability affects only the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility
Client for Windows because the SBL feature is not supported by the
Linux and MacOS X clients.

This vulnerability is documented in Cisco Bug ID CSCta40556 and has 
been assigned CVE ID CVE-2011-2041.

Vulnerability Scoring Details
+----------------------------

Cisco has provided scores for the vulnerabilities in this advisory
based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS
scoring in this Security Advisory is done in accordance with CVSS
version 2.0.

CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability
