GHOST - CVE-2015-0235

Hi All,
Does anyone know the applicability/exploitability of this on CUCM/VCS and CTS endpoints? Is it possible to remotely execute code on any of them unauthenticated for example? I would like to understand the actual impact, and the canned response on each of the product specific bug pages makes it difficult to do this.
"The impact of this vulnerability varies based on hardware and software configurations. A remote, unauthenticated attacker who is able to provide a hostname to an application that is using an affected function may be able to exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information from memory or perform remote code execution with the same privileges as the process or application being exploited."

The most important part being in the Conclusion: The most likely outcome in a real-world scenario would be a segmentation fault, not code execution.

  • CSCus68798 - ISE is vulnerable to CVE-2015-0235 Linux Ghost remote code execution

    First time trying to follow a specific CVE in Real-Time...
    I see this CVE-2015-0235 GHOST hack is applicable to ISE and Prime Infrastructure... but I haven't seen any patch status update since yesterday.
    CSA says "Obtaining Fixed Software
    Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability described in this advisory."
    Yet, when I check the (2) products' download pages, the newest software I see is from Jan 23 and Jan 6, respectively. The exploit was published on Jan 27. So, where are the patches?

    The team that found the exploit, Qualys Security Advisory, documented that "the most stable and long-term-support distributions were left exposed (and still are): Debian 7 (wheezy), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 & 7, CentOS 6 & 7, Ubuntu 12.04, for example."  See the link below for the full report:
    https://www.qualys.com/research/security-advisories/GHOST-CVE-2015-0235.txt
    I'm assuming this is affecting all versions of UC appliances running these OS's (and possibly more that aren't used in the example?).  Anyone know how to determine what products are vulnerable to this?

  • CVE-2015-0235 on Oracle Database Appliances

    Hello,
    Does anybody know if Oracle Linux Server release 5.9 2.6.39 400.126.1.el5uek is vulnerable to GHOST (CVE-2015-0235)?
    Thank you!
    EPA

    You would need to check the version of the glibc RPMs on that box and make sure they are up-to-date. The RPMs with the fix applied are listed here: linux.oracle.com | ELSA-2015-0090 - glibc security update

  • CVE-2015-0235

    Hi guys,
    Does anybody know if Solaris SUNWGlib is vulnerable to GHOST (CVE-2015-0235) ? Or it's just the Linux version of glibc?
    Thank you!

    The official statement from Oracle with regard to GHOST at this time is:
    Oracle’s security and development teams are aware of the recently disclosed vulnerability, CVE-2015-0235; or ‘Ghost’.
    Oracle has provided information about this issue for Linux.
    The URL for the information published is http://linux.oracle.com/cve/CVE-2015-0235.html.
    Please note that Solaris does not ship glibc.  Other products like Solaris Cluster, Oracle Key Manager and
    ZFSSA that have Solaris as the base or embedded operating system do not contain glibc either.

    Our 7Ks are running 6.1(2), does this mean that any code in the 6.1(x) release below 6.1(5) is affected? Or is it just 6.1(5) specifically and none other running 6.1(x)?

  • Re: glibc GHOST vulnerability # CVE-2015-0235.

    Hi,
    I tried hijacking someone else's forum thread for my own issue, but a kind forum moderator branched it away to (hopefully) stand on its own merits instead of ripping attention away from that original discussion.
    We have an Oracle Appliance ( OVCA ), I am trying to find patch policy of Oracle for the OVCA and OVM environments.
    I read Doc 1965975.1 on MOS but this is explicit for Exalogic.
    So I am not sure if I should install this patch on this appliances.
    Is anyone familiar with Oracle's patch policy regarding OVCA/OVM.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Eelke.

    Oracle VM 2.2,  3.2 and 3.3 have all been patched for GHOST: linux.oracle.com | CVE-2015-0235.
    I will look into why 3.3 is listed, but I've checked the repository and the updated glibc RPMs are available. However, I'm not sure what OVCA's patching policy is, so you'd need to open an SR for that.

  • Looking for info on CVE-2015-0235

    Hello,
    I'm looking for information on CVE--2015-0235 or GNC C Library (glibc) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability.
    I would like to see if the affected program is on my servers and if so is Solaris 10 effected?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Linux Ghost Vulnerability CVE-2015-0235

    Just heard about this, the bug is old (discovered around 2013 I believe) but was just released as a security advisory today or yesterday.
    This link shows you how to determine if your system is vulnerable, and how to patch the bug although it doesn't include how to patch on arch systems. I tested my system and it isn't vulnerable, so for the most part if you keep your system up to date it shouldn't be vulnerable either, but it doesn't hurt to check!

    On Google+, there's a guy (who I won't name) going around promoting his article about this security vulnerability, which incidentally written in such a way that mother said "so, all Linux devices, including Android phones, are affected, right?". Same guy seems to write articles monthly about how Linux is dying on the Desktop Computer...
    On that note, I wonder whether we need to keep this thread open before it turns into a GRR-fest.

  • GHOST: glibc vulnerability (CVE-2015-0235)?

    Recently there is a bug detected in glibc, it is affected to oracle enterprise linux, do we need to update glibc, if yes then to what version.
    Currently we are running below version of OS, kindly suggest us on the same.
    Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Carthage)
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)

    Also bear in mind that updating from OL5 Update 4 to OL5 Update 11 is not an incompatible update. Part of Oracle Linux product support is ensuring that your system remains compatible with all installed applications when you update to newer OL5 packages.
    The easiest way to do this is to ensure that ol5_latest is enabled in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ yum configuration files, then run "yum update". If you don't yet have the configuration for yum for OL5, go here to set it up:
