Cisco Email Security Appliance and Cisco Web Security Appliance Certificate
Validation Vulnerability

Priority: High
Advisory ID: cisco-sa-esa-wsa-cert-vali-n8L97RW
First Published: 2021 June 16 16:00 GMT
Version 1.0: Final
Workarounds: No workarounds available
Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvw08342 CSCvw08378
CVE Names: CVE-2021-1566
CWEs: CWE-296

Summary

o A vulnerability in the Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for
Endpoints integration of Cisco AsyncOS for Cisco Email Security Appliance
(ESA) and Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) could allow an
unauthenticated, remote attacker to intercept traffic between an affected
device and the AMP servers.

This vulnerability is due to improper certificate validation when an
affected device establishes TLS connections. A man-in-the-middle attacker
could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted TLS packet to an
affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to spoof a
trusted host and then extract sensitive information or alter certain API
requests.

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-esa-wsa-cert-vali-n8L97RW

Affected Products

o Vulnerable Products

This vulnerability affects Cisco ESA and Cisco WSA if they are running a
vulnerable release of Cisco AsyncOS and are configured to integrate with a
Cisco AMP for Endpoints console.

For information about which Cisco AsyncOS software releases are vulnerable,
see the Fixed Software section of this advisory.

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 Cisco Content
Security Management Appliance (SMA).

Workarounds

o There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

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:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/end-user-license-agreement.html

Additionally, customers may only download software for which they have a
valid license, procured from Cisco directly, or through a Cisco authorized
reseller or partner. In most cases this will be a maintenance upgrade to
software that was previously purchased. Free security software updates do
not entitle customers to a new software license, additional software
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
Cisco Security Advisories page , to determine exposure and a complete
upgrade solution.

In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded
contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software
configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release.
If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance
providers.

Customers Without Service Contracts

Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service
contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but
are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale
should obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco TAC: https://www.cisco.com/c
/en/us/support/web/tsd-cisco-worldwide-contacts.html

Customers should have the product serial number available and be prepared
to provide the URL of this advisory as evidence of entitlement to a free
upgrade.
