Title: (CAID 35527): CA Message Queuing (CAM / CAFT) Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

CA Vuln ID (CAID): 35527

CA Advisory Date: 2007-07-24

Reported By: Paul Mehta of ISS X-Force

Impact: A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code.

Summary: Multiple CA products that utilize CA Message Queuing (CAM / CAFT) software contain a buffer overflow vulnerability. The vulnerability, CVE-2007-0060, is a buffer overflow that can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted message to TCP port 3104.

Mitigating Factors: None

Severity: CA has given this vulnerability a High risk rating.

Affected Versions of CA Message Queuing (CAM / CAFT):
This vulnerability affects all versions of the CA Message Queuing software prior to v1.11 Build 54_4 on the specified platforms. 
i.e. CAM versions 1.04, 1.05, 1.06, 1.07, 1.10 (prior to Build
54_4) and 1.11 (prior to Build 54_4).

AIX, AS/400, DG Intel, DG Motorola, DYNIX, HP-UX, IRIX, Linux Intel, Linux s/390, MVS, Open VMS, OS/2, OSF1, Solaris Intel, Solaris Sparc and UnixWare.

Status and Recommendation:
CA has made patches available for all affected products.  These patches are independent of the CA Software that installed CAM. 
Simply select the patch appropriate to the platform, and the installed version of CAM, and follow the patch application instructions.  You should also review the product home pages on SupportConnect for any additional product specific instructions.

Solutions for CAM:
Platform     Solution
Windows      QO89945
NetWare      QO89943

How to determine if you are affected:

Determining CAM versions:
Simply running camstat will return the version information in the top line of the output on any platform.  The camstat command is located in the bin subfolder of the installation directory.

The example below indicates that CAM version 1.11 build 27 increment 2 is running.

  Determining the CAM install directory:

Windows: The install location is specified by the %CAI_MSQ%
   environment variable.
Unix/Linux/Mac: The /etc/catngcampath text file holds the CAM
   install location.

Workaround:
The affected listening port can be disabled by creating or updating CAM's configuration file, CAM.CFG, with the following entry under the "*CONFIG" section:

   *CONFIG
   cas_port=0

The CA Messaging Server must be recycled in order for this to take effect.  We advise that products dependent upon CAM should be shutdown prior to recycling CAM.  Once dependent products have been shutdown, CAM can be recycled with the following commands:

   On Windows:
      camclose
      cam start

   On NetWare:
      load camclose
      load cam start

Once CAM has been restarted, any CAM dependent products that were shutdown can be restarted.

Title: (CAID 35524): eTrust Intrusion Detection caller.dll Vulnerability

CA Vuln ID (CAID): 35524

CA Advisory Date: 2007-07-24

Reported By: Sebastian Apelt working with the iDefense VCP

Impact: A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code.

Summary: CA eTrust Intrusion Detection contains a vulnerability associated with the caller.dll ActiveX control. The vulnerability, CVE-2007-3302, is due to the caller.dll ActiveX control being marked safe for scripting. An attacker, who can lure a user into visiting a malicious website, can potentially gain complete control of an affected installation.

Mitigating Factors:
1) Attack can only be executed if victim is using a web browser.
2) Attacker must trick victim into visiting a malicious web page.
3) Malicious code will be executed with privileges of currently
   logged in user.

Severity: CA has given this vulnerability a High risk rating.

Affected Products:
eTrust Intrusion Detection 3.0
eTrust Intrusion Detection 3.0 SP1

Affected Platforms:
Windows

Status and Recommendation:
CA has provided updates to address the vulnerabilities.

eTrust Intrusion Detection 3.0 - apply QO89893

eTrust Intrusion Detection 3.0 SP1 - apply QO89881

How to determine if you are affected:
For Windows:
1. Using Windows Explorer, locate the file “caller.dll”. By
   default, the file is located in the
   “C:\Program Files\CA\eTrust Intrusion Detection\Common”
   directory.
2. Right click on the file and select Properties.
3. For eTrust Intrusion Detection 3.0 SP1, select the Version tab,
   or, for eTrust Intrusion Detection 3.0, select the General tab.
4. If the file version or date is earlier than indicated in the
   table below, the installation is vulnerable.

File        Release  File Version  File Date, Size
caller.dll  3.0      NA            7/13/2007, 32768 bytes
caller.dll  3.0 SP1  3.0.5.81      NA

Workaround:
As a workaround solution, set the kill bit on the caller.dll ActiveX control.

Note: Before proceeding, review the following Microsoft knowledge base article on disabling ActiveX controls:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240797

1. Using the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
   SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\
   {41266C21-18D8-414B-88C0-8DCA6C25CEA0}. If the key does not
   exist, create it.
2. Create a DWORD value named "Compatibility Flags" with a value
   data of 0x00000400.
3. Restart Internet Explorer.
