Vulnerability Note VU#199348

Barracuda Spam Firewall contains hardcoded default login credentials

Barracuda Spam Firewalls version 3.3.01.001 to 3.3.02.053 have a guest account with a fixed username and password. This account can log in to the web interface and can not be restricted by the system's built-in access control lists.

II. Impact

Barracuda has published updates that address this issue. Refer to the systems affected portion of this document for more details.

Restrict Access
Do not allow access to the web interface of the Barracuda Spam Firewall from untrusted networks.

Block Access to the Web Interface
Blocking access to ports 443/tcp and 8080/tcp will prevent any user from logging into the web-interface, but will not interfere with the spam filtering functions of the firewall.
