TITLE:
IBM BladeCenter Advanced Management Module Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34626

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34626/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities and a security issue have been reported in IBM
BladeCenter Advanced Management Module, which can be exploited by
malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions and disclose
potentially sensitive information, and by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting, script insertion, and cross-site request forgery
attacks.

1) Input passed via the username during a login attempt to the
administrative interface is not properly sanitised before being used
in the event log page. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML
and script code, which will be executed in an administrative user's
browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious
data is viewed.

2) Input passed to the "PATH" parameter in
private/file_management.ssi is not properly sanitised before being
returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML
and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected
site.

3) An error in the administrative interface can be exploited to
disclose the security permissions of other users.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires valid user
credentials.

4) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to perform administrative actions
when a logged in administrator visits a malicious web page.

5) An unspecified security issue exists, which allows port forwarding
using SSH. No further information is currently available.

SOLUTION:
Update to firmware version 1.42U.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
1-4) Henri Lindberg, Louhi Networks
5) Reported by the vendor.
