This updated advisory is a follow-up to the original advisory titled ICSA-16-315-01A CA Unified Infrastructure Management Directory Traversal Vulnerability that was published November 15, 2016, on the NCCIC/ICS-CERT web site.
Independent researcher Andrea Micalizzi, working with Zero Day Initiative, has identified a directory traversal vulnerability in CA Technologiesβ Unified Infrastructure Management application. CA Technologies has produced an update to mitigate this vulnerability.
This vulnerability could be exploited remotely.
The following Unified Infrastructure Management versions are affected:
--------- Begin Update B Part 1 of 2 --------
--------- End Update B Part 1 of 2 --------
The software uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize sequences that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory. This allows attackers to traverse the file system to access files or directories that are outside the restricted directory. The attacker may be able to create or overwrite critical files that are used to execute code, such as programs or libraries.
Impact to individual organizations depends on many factors that are unique to each organization. ICS-CERT recommends that organizations evaluate the impact of this vulnerability based on their operational environment, architecture, and product implementation.
CA Technologies is a United States-based company that maintains offices in several countries around the world, including the US, UK, Netherlands, Brazil, India, Germany, France, Korea, China, and Japan.
The affected product, Unified Infrastructure Management, is a web-based SCADA system. According to CA Technologies, Unified Infrastructure Management software is deployed primarily in the Information Technology sector. CA Technologies estimates that this product is used primarily in the United States and Europe with a small percentage in Asia.
The Unified Infrastructure Management software uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize sequences such as ββ¦β that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.
