Canonical Linux 12.04/12.10/13.04 input validation

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Canonical Linux 12.04/12.10/13.04. This affects some unknown processing. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, and integrity. The summary by CVE is:

telepathy-idle before 0.1.15 does not verify (1) that the issuer is a trusted CA, (2) that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject s Common Name (CN), or (3) the expiration date of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.

The weakness was released 05/21/2013 (Website). The advisory is shared at bugs.freedesktop.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2007-6746 since 12/19/2011. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 75000 (openSUSE Security Update : telepathy-idle (openSUSE-SU-2013:0915-1)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family SuSE Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 166476 (OpenSuSE Security Update for telepathy-idle (openSUSE-SU-2013:0915-1)).

Upgrading to version 13.04 eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Tenable (75000), SecurityFocus (BID 59474†), Secunia (SA53361†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-39474†). Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
