OpenNDS, as used in Sierra Wireless ALEOS before 4.17.0.12 and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference, daemon crash, and Captive Portal outage) via a GET request to /openndsauth/ that lacks a custom query string parameter and client-token.
Several versions of ALEOS, including ALEOS 4.16.0, include an opensource
third-party component which can be exploited from the local
area network, resulting in a Denial of Service condition for the captive portal.
Several versions of ALEOS, including ALEOS 4.16.0, use a hardcoded
SSL certificate and private key. An attacker with access to these items
could potentially perform a man in the middle attack between the
ACEManager client and ACEManager server.
When configured in debugging mode by an authenticated user with
administrative privileges, ALEOS 4.16 and earlier store the SHA512
hash of the common root password for that version in a directory
accessible to a user with root privileges or equivalent access.
The ACEManager component of ALEOS 4.16 and earlier does not
perform input sanitization during authentication, which could
potentially result in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition for
ACEManager without impairing other router functions. ACEManager
recovers from the DoS condition by restarting within ten seconds of
becoming unavailable.
The ACEManager component of ALEOS 4.16 and earlier allows an
authenticated user with Administrator privileges to access a file
upload field which does not fully validate the file name, creating a
Stored Cross-Site Scripting condition.
The ACEManager component of ALEOS 4.16 and earlier does not
validate uploaded file names and types, which could potentially allow
an authenticated user to perform client-side script execution within
ACEManager, altering the device functionality until the device is
restarted.
The ACEManager component of ALEOS 4.16 and earlier does not adequately perform input sanitization during authentication, which could potentially result in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition for ACEManager without impairing other router functions. ACEManager recovers from the DoS condition by restarting within ten seconds of becoming unavailable.
Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop') vulnerability in Sierra Wireless, Inc ALEOS could potentially allow a remote attacker to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) condition for ACEManager without impairing other router functions. This condition is cleared by restarting the device.
Acemanager in ALEOS before version 4.16 allows a user with valid credentials to reconfigure the device to expose the ACEManager credentials on the pre-login status page.
Acemanager in ALEOS before version 4.16 allows a user with valid credentials to manipulate the IP logging operation to execute arbitrary shell commands on the device.
The ACENet service in Sierra Wireless ALEOS before 4.4.9, 4.5.x through 4.9.x before 4.9.5, and 4.10.x through 4.13.x before 4.14.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow.
Sierra Wireless AirLink Mobility Manager (AMM) before 2.17 mishandles sessions and thus an unauthenticated attacker can obtain a login session with administrator privileges.
Sierra Wireless MGOS before 3.15.2 and 4.x before 4.3 allows attackers to read log files via a Direct Request (aka Forced Browsing).
Unauthenticated RPC server on ALEOS before 4.4.9, 4.9.5, and 4.14.0 allows remote code execution.
Lack of input sanitization in UpdateRebootMgr service of ALEOS 4.11 and later allow an escalation to root from a low-privilege process.
The SSH service on ALEOS before 4.12.0, 4.9.5, 4.4.9 allows traffic proxying.
Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in the AceManager Web API of ALEOS before 4.13.0, 4.9.5, and 4.4.9.
Several potential command injections vulnerabilities exist in the AT command interface of ALEOS before 4.11.0, and 4.9.4.
A buffer overflow exists in the SMS handler API of ALEOS before 4.13.0, 4.9.5, 4.9.4 that may allow code execution as root.
Lack of input sanitization in AceManager of ALEOS before 4.12.0, 4.9.5 and 4.4.9 allows disclosure of sensitive system information.
A nonce reuse vulnerability exists in the ACEView service of ALEOS before 4.13.0, 4.9.5, and 4.4.9 allowing message replay. Captured traffic to the ACEView service can be replayed to other gateways sharing the same credentials.
An RPC server is enabled by default on the gateway's LAN of ALEOS before 4.12.0, 4.9.5, and 4.4.9.
An out-of-bounds reads vulnerability exists in the ACEView Service of ALEOS before 4.13.0, 4.9.5, and 4.4.9. Sensitive information may be disclosed via the ACEviewservice, accessible by default on the LAN.
An API abuse vulnerability exists in the AT command API of ALEOS before 4.13.0, 4.9.5, 4.4.9 due to lack of length checking when handling certain user-provided values.
A stack overflow vulnerabiltity exist in the AT command interface of ALEOS before 4.11.0. The vulnerability may allow code execution
A stack overflow vulnerabiltity exists in the AT command APIs of ALEOS before 4.11.0. The vulnerability may allow code execution.
An improper privilege management vulnerabitlity exists in ALEOS before 4.11.0, 4.9.4 and 4.4.9. An authenticated user can escalate to root via the command shell.
The Sierra Wireless Windows Mobile Broadband Driver Packages (MBDP) before build 5043 allows an unprivileged user to overwrite arbitrary files in arbitrary folders using hard links. An unprivileged user could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with system privileges.
An exploitable unverified password change vulnerability exists in the ACEManager upload.cgi functionality of Sierra Wireless AirLink ES450 FW 4.9.3. A specially crafted HTTP request can cause a unverified device configuration change, resulting in an unverified change of the user password on the device. An attacker can make an authenticated HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability.
