Title: Cisco Security Manager IPS Event Viewer Remote Unauthorized TCP Port Access Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
Cisco Security Manager is a management application used to configure security services. IPS Event Viewer is a Java-based application for viewing and managing security alerts.
Security Manager is prone to an unauthorized-access vulnerability because it may permit network access via certain TCP ports. This issue occurs when IPS Event Viewer is launched, resulting in open TCP ports on both the Security Manager server and IPS Event Viewer client. When the IPS Event Viewer is closed, some ports will remain open.
This issue is tracked by Cisco Bug ID CSCsv66897.
Attackers can exploit this issue to obtain SYSTEM-level access to data and to the Security Manager service. Successful exploits can result in the complete compromise of affected computers.
This issue affects Security Manager 3.0 up to 3.2.
