1.3. (In)security Software
1 like449 views
Security software products are not immune to vulnerabilities. The document discusses vulnerabilities found in Symantec Messaging Gateway, F5 BIG-IP, AppliCure dotDefender WAF, and Sophos Web Protection Appliance that allowed unauthorized access or code execution on the devices. Exploiting vulnerabilities in security software is common due to weaknesses being found in the software itself or misconfigurations of services running on the devices.

Vuln, where art thou? • The workflow for the appliance analysis is pretty simple! – get a virtual appliance demo version – install the appliance – add the .vmdk to another vm and mount it there (or use a linux fs driver that can mount vmdk files) – add a new user to /etc/passwd, or change UID/shell/password of existing users (or maybe change the sudoers file, sshd config) – start the appliance again and log in :) – look at the services that are running (and their configuration) – pwnage ;) 25 (in)Security Software
