TITLE:
NeoScale Systems CryptoStor 700 Series Security Bypass Weakness

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA23430

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/23430/

CRITICAL:
Not critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass

WHERE:
>From local network

OPERATING SYSTEM:
NeoScale Systems CryptoStor 700 Series
http://secunia.com/product/12918/

DESCRIPTION:
A weakness has been reported in NeoScale Systems CryptoStor 700
Series, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain
security restrictions.

The system uses a two-factor authentication mechanism based on
username and password combination and smartcard tokens. The
validation of the smartcard is performed by an ActiveX control in a
user's browser and can be bypassed by disabling ActiveX scripting.

Successful exploitation allows bypassing the smartcard part of the
two-factor authentication, but still requires knowledge of a valid
username and password to access the administrator console.

SOLUTION:
Update to firmware version 2.6.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported in a US-CERT Vulnerability Note.

ORIGINAL ADVISORY:
