Title: RETIRED: Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi ISN Multiple Authentication Bypass Vulnerabilities

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi ISN (Intelligent Service Node) is a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network device used for P2P traffic management and data charging.

The device is prone to multiple authentication-bypass vulnerabilities because its web-based management interface application fails to restrict access to the following administrative scripts:

'cgi-bin/aaa.tcl?'
'cgi-bin/aggr_config.tcl?'
'opt/cgi-bin/ggsn/cgi.tcl': 'page' parameter
'opt/cgi-bin/services.tcl': 'instance' parameter

An attacker can exploit these issues to gain unauthorized access to the affected device, which may lead to other attacks.

These issues affect Flexi ISN 3.1; other devices or versions may also be vulnerable.

UPDATE (April 6, 2009): This issue is disputed. Reports indicate that the device is not vulnerable as described. We will update this BID as more information emerges.

NOTE: This BID is being retired because the vulnerability cannot be exploited as described.

Affected Products:

  • Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi ISN 3.1
