Summary

RealNetworks Helix Server and Helix Mobile Server 14.x before 14.3.x store passwords in cleartext under adm_b_db\users\, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading a database.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.

descriptionAccording to its banner, the remote host is running version 14.x of RealNetworks Helix Server / Helix Mobile Server. Such versions are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - Administrative and user credentials are insecurely stored in a flat file database. This file may be accessed by local users to disclose passwords stored in plaintext. (CVE-2012-1923) - A buffer overflow exists in the code that parses authentication credentials. It may be possible for a remote attacker to exploit this issue and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-0942) - Multiple unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. (CVE-2012-1984) - A specially crafted malformed URL can cause the server process to crash if opened by an administrator. (CVE-2012-1985) - Establishing and immediately closing a TCP connection on port 705 can cause the SNMP Master Agent to crash. (CVE-2012-2267) - A specially crafted Open-PDU request sent to the SNMP Master Agent can cause it to crash due to an unhandled exception. (CVE-2012-2268)
