03 March 2020

CLOSED
MEDIUM
CVSS v2: 6.8
SUMMARY
Reporter uses a version of OpenSSL that has several publicly documented vulnerabilities. The most severe vulnerability allows an attacker to gain complete control over a Reporter installation.
AFFECTED PRODUCTS
All versions of Reporter prior to 9.2.5.1 and 9.3.2.1 are vulnerable.
Patch
- Reporter 9.3 - a fix is available in 9.3.2.1.
- Reporter 9.2 - a fix is available in 9.2.5.1.
- Reporter 9.1 - please upgrade to a later version.
- Reporter 8.3 - please upgrade to a later version.
ISSUES
Reporter 9.3.1.1 and 9.2.4.1 use OpenSSL version 0.9.8o. Reporter 9.1.5.1 uses OpenSSL version 0.9.8j. Reporter 8.3.7.1 uses OpenSSL version 0.9.8e. Each version of OpenSSL has several publicly documented vulnerabilities. OpenSSL version 0.9.8e is not vulnerable to CVE-2011-0014, therefore Reporter 8.3.7.1 is not vulnerable.
The most severe vulnerability allows an attacker to gain complete control over a Reporter installation. The attacker can view and modify configuration data as well as data sent to and from Reporter. An attacker can also render Reporter completely unresponsive for administrative control as well as data transmission.
When Reporter is deployed behind a firewall, as is recommended, an attacker must gain access from the internal network in order to mount an attack. The CVSS base scores included in this advisory are based on this deployment scenario.
If Reporter is deployed outside of the firewall. the CVSS base score for all CVEs listed would be higher. The CVSS base score for this security advisory would be a 7.6 (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C).
Reporter 9.3.2.1 and 9.2.5.1 contain an upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.8r fixing the CVEs documented in this security advisory.
MITIGATION
Blue Coat recommends that Reporter be deployed behind a firewall. Additional constraints on what IP addresses can be used to connect to Reporter will greatly limit the ability to attack a Reporter installation.
