US CERT Warns on VxWorks Flaws

The U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team has issued two warnings on flaws in the embedded systems’ OS technology VxWorks as discovered by researcher HD Moore. One flaw deals with weakness in the hashing algorithm of the API authentication; The second regards debug settings being enabled by...

VxWorks WDB Debug Service Detection

A VxWorks WDB Debug Agent is running on this host. Using this service, it is possible to read or write any memory zone or execute arbitrary code on the host. An attacker can use this flaw to take complete control of the affected device. C Tenable Network Security, Inc. include"compat.inc"; if...

CVE-2010-2968

The FTP daemon in Wind River VxWorks does not close the TCP connection after a number of failed login attempts, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack...

CVE-2010-2967

The loginDefaultEncrypt algorithm in loginLib in Wind River VxWorks before 6.9 does not properly support a large set of distinct possible passwords, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a 1 telnet, 2 rlogin, or 3 FTP session...

CVE-2010-2965

The WDB target agent debug service in Wind River VxWorks 6.x, 5.x, and earlier, as used on the Rockwell Automation 1756-ENBT series A with firmware 3.2.6 and 3.6.1 and other products, allows remote attackers to read or modify arbitrary memory locations, perform function calls, or manage tasks via...

CVE-2010-2966

The INCLUDESECURITY functionality in Wind River VxWorks 6.x, 5.x, and earlier uses the LOGINUSERNAME and LOGINUSERPASSWORD aka LOGINPASSWORD parameters to create hardcoded credentials, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a 1 telnet, 2 rlogin, or 3 FTP session...

[R7-0035] VxWorks Authentication Library Weak Password Hashing

R7-0035: VxWorks Authentication Library Weak Password Hashing August 2, 2010 -- Vulnerability Details: This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass the authentication process for the Telnet and FTP services of the VxWorks operating system. This flaw occurs due to an insecure password...

CVE-2010-2965

CVE-2010-2965 affects Wind River VxWorks targets (6.x, 5.x and earlier), notably Rockwell Automation 1756-ENBT series A with firmware 3.2.6 and 3.6.1. The WDB target agent debug service exposes a UDP 17185 port that can be used by remote attackers to read or modify arbitrary memory, perform funct...

CVE-2010-2967

The CVE-2010-2967 vXWorks vulnerability stems from Wind River VxWorks’ loginLib loginDefaultEncrypt hashing: it uses a weak default hashing algorithm prone to collisions, enabling brute-force style password guessing for services that rely on the standard authentication API (telnet, rlogin, FTP). ...
