Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9810)

CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear


The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability is caused by incorrect filtration of input data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim’s browser in security context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


2) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9813)

CWE-ID: CWE-352 - Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform CSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTML code from user-supplied input by the Web Management Console. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary scripting code that originate from the site running the Kaspersky Anti-Virus software and will run in the security context of that site and access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies)

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in cross-site request forgery conducting.

3) Privilege escalation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9811)

CWE-ID: CWE-77 - Command injection

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear


The disclosed vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The weakness exists due to a flaw in the quarantine read and write operations. A local attacker with 'kluser' privileges can send a specially crafted input to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

4) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9812)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.

The weakness exists due to a path traversal flaw in the Web Management Console. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted input and view files on the target system with the 'kluser' privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in information disclosure.
