baramundi Management Agent - From Buffer Overflow to Remote Code Execution
Security researcher, Shadi Habbal, of TÜV Rheinland i-sec GmbH has discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in “baramundi Management Agent” (bMA), a module of “baramundi Management Suite” (bMS). An attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerability to crash the affected module, or achieve remote code execution when a certain condition, e.g. CVE-2022-44654, is met. In both scenarios, the attacker must be able to trick the user into visiting a prepared web page that is hosted on the Internet/Intranet.
Affected products are all versions of baramundi, including bMS 2022 R1, bMS 2021 R2, bMS 2021 R1, and earlier.
baramundi AG was notified of this vulnerability on August 04, 2022, and security update "S-2022-01" was released on September 27, 2022. The security update addresses the vulnerability in all supported versions. It is important for users of affected versions of baramundi to install the patch as soon as possible.
The vulnerability has been assigned the identifier CVE-2022-43747 and has a high severity.
The researcher and TÜV Rheinland i-sec GmbH would like to thank baramundi’s Product Security Incident Response Team for their professional communication and for baramundi’s commitment to addressing this vulnerability.
Trend Micro Apex One - A Security Flaw in UMH Monitoring Engine Module
Security researcher, Shadi Habbal, of TÜV Rheinland i-sec GmbH has discovered a weakness in the User-Mode Hooking (UMH) Monitoring Engine module of Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service. This module, which helps to monitor for malicious payloads on Windows by injecting itself into each user-mode process and hooking certain Windows APIs, is missing an important security feature called "SafeSEH".
The lack of "SafeSEH" protection leaves the module open to attack. An attacker could potentially abuse this weakness while exploiting a SEH-based buffer overflow to bypass security measures and cause harm to the affected software or the device running it. This weakness affects Apex One 2019 (on-premises) and Apex One as a Service.
Trend Micro was notified of this weakness on August 8, 2022 and a fix was released on October 25, 2022. It is important for users of affected versions of Apex One to install this patch or the latest available cumulative one as soon as possible. The vulnerability has been assigned the identifier CVE-2022-44654 and has a severity of 7.5 out of 10.
TÜV Rheinland i-sec GmbH would like to thank Trend Micro’s Product Security Incident Response Team for their professional communication and for Trend Micro’s commitment to addressing this weakness.
