Summary

Cumin (aka MRG Management Console), as used in Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2.5, uses the DES-based crypt function to hash passwords, which makes it easier for attackers to obtain sensitive information via a brute-force attack.

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.

    descriptionUpdated Grid component packages that fix two security issues, multiple bugs, and provide several enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2.5 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. Red Hat Enterprise MRG (Messaging, Realtime, and Grid) is a next-generation IT infrastructure for enterprise computing. MRG offers increased performance, reliability, interoperability, and faster computing for enterprise customers. MRG Grid provides high-throughput computing and enables enterprises to achieve higher peak computing capacity as well as improved infrastructure utilization by leveraging their existing technology to build high performance grids. MRG Grid provides a job-queueing mechanism, scheduling policy, and a priority scheme, as well as resource monitoring and resource management. Users submit their jobs to MRG Grid, where they are placed into a queue. MRG Grid then chooses when and where to run the jobs based upon a policy, carefully monitors their progress, and ultimately informs the user upon completion. A buffer over-read flaw was found in the way MongoDB handled BSON data. A database user permitted to insert BSON data into a MongoDB server could use this flaw to read server memory, potentially disclosing sensitive data.

    A buffer over-read flaw was found in the way MongoDB handled BSON
    data. A database user permitted to insert BSON data into a MongoDB
    server could use this flaw to read server memory, potentially
    disclosing sensitive data. (CVE-2012-6619)
    
    Note: This update addresses CVE-2012-6619 by enabling the '--objcheck'
    option in the /etc/mongodb.conf file. If you have edited this file,
    the updated version will be stored as /etc/mongodb.conf.rpmnew, and
    you will need to merge the changes into /etc/mongodb.conf manually.
    
    It was found that MRG Management Console (cumin) used the crypt(3)
    DES-based hash function to hash passwords. DES-based hashing has known
    weaknesses that allow an attacker to recover plain text passwords from
    hashes. An attacker able to compromise a cumin user database could
    potentially use this flaw to recover plain text passwords from the
    password hashes stored in that database. (CVE-2013-6445)
    
    Note: In deployments where user account information is stored in a
    database managed by cumin, it is recommended that users change their
    passwords after this update is applied.
    
    The CVE-2013-6445 issue was discovered by Tomas Novacik of the Red
    Hat MRG Quality Engineering team.
    
    These updated packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 also provide
    numerous bug fixes and enhancements for the Grid component of Red Hat
    Enterprise MRG. Space precludes documenting all of these changes in
    this advisory. Refer to the Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2 Technical Notes
    document, available shortly from the link in the References section,
    for information on these changes.
    
    All users of the Grid capabilities of Red Hat Enterprise MRG are
    advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these
    issues and add these enhancements."

    descriptionUpdated Messaging component packages that fix one security issue, several bugs, and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2.5 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. Red Hat Enterprise MRG (Messaging, Realtime, and Grid) is a next-generation IT infrastructure for enterprise computing. MRG offers increased performance, reliability, interoperability, and faster computing for enterprise customers. MRG Messaging is a high-speed reliable messaging distribution for Linux based on AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol), an open protocol standard for enterprise messaging that is designed to make mission critical messaging widely available as a standard service, and to make enterprise messaging interoperable across platforms, programming languages, and vendors. MRG Messaging includes an AMQP 0-10 messaging broker; AMQP 0-10 client libraries for C++, Java JMS, and Python; as well as persistence libraries and management tools. It was found that MRG Management Console (cumin) used the crypt(3) DES-based hash function to hash passwords. DES-based hashing has known weaknesses that allow an attacker to more easily recover plain text passwords from hashes via brute-force guessing. An attacker able to compromise a cumin user database could potentially use this flaw to recover plain text passwords from the password hashes stored in that database.
