Vulnerability Note VU#782567

Objectivity/DB administration tools lack authentication

Original Release date: 13 Jan 2011 | Last revised: 13 Jan 2011

Overview

The administration tools (i.e. ookillls, oostopams, etc) for Objectivity/DB do not require authentication for local or remote operation.

Description

Objectivity/DB comes with several administration tools for database maintenance. By design, these tools do not require authentication. An attacker can emulate the functionality of the administration tools with a custom script as well.

Impact

An unauthenticated remote attacker can run commands on the database server. Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability of the data can be compromised by the attacker.

Solution

We are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem.

Appropriate firewall rules should be implemented to restrict remote access to only trusted sources or blocked entirely and administration only done locally. TCP ports 6779 and 6780 should be filtered.
