Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows with VPN Posture (HostScan)
Module DLL Hijacking Vulnerability

Priority: High
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-anyconnect-pos-dll-ff8j6dFv
First Published: 2021 June 16 16:00 GMT
Version 1.0: Final
Workarounds: No workarounds available
Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvx52084
CVE Names: CVE-2021-1567
CWEs: CWE-367

Summary

o A vulnerability in the DLL loading mechanism of Cisco AnyConnect Secure
Mobility Client for Windows could allow an authenticated, local attacker to
perform a DLL hijacking attack on an affected device if the VPN Posture
(HostScan) Module is installed on the AnyConnect client.

This vulnerability is due to a race condition in the signature verification
process for DLL files that are loaded on an affected device. An attacker
could exploit this vulnerability by sending a series of crafted
interprocess communication (IPC) messages to the AnyConnect process. A
successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on
the affected device with SYSTEM privileges. To exploit this vulnerability,
the attacker must have valid credentials on the Windows system.

Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There
are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

This advisory is available at the following link:
https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-anyconnect-pos-dll-ff8j6dFv

Posture Module. The ISE Posture Module is not affected by this
vulnerability.

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable

Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products section of this advisory
are known to be affected by this vulnerability.

Cisco has confirmed that this vulnerability does not affect the following
Cisco products:

Fixed Software

o Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability
described in this advisory. Customers may only install and expect support
for software versions and feature sets for which they have purchased a
license. By installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such
software upgrades, customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco
software license:

feature sets, or major revision upgrades.

When considering software upgrades , customers are advised to regularly
consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the
