Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in EMC RSA Authentication Agent 7.1. This affects an unknown code block. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a improper authentication vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-287. When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The authentication functionality in EMC RSA Authentication Agent 7.1 and RSA Authentication Client 3.5 on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, when an unspecified configuration exists, allows remote authenticated users to bypass an intended token-authentication step, and establish a login session to a remote host, by leveraging Windows credentials for that host.

The weakness was presented 09/20/2012 by Agent as 50735 as confirmed advisory (Secunia). It is possible to read the advisory at secunia.com. The public release was coordinated in cooperation with EMC. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2012-2287 since 04/19/2012. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The requirement for exploitation is a authentication. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. We expect the 0-day to have been worth approximately $5k-$25k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 62438 (RSA Authentication Client 3.5 < 3.5.6 Local Authentication Bypass), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
