Resolution

Other Useful Resources

Java and Reflection 2014 or 2011

The Reflection Workspace and Reflection FTP Client do not use Java.

If you have also purchased Reflection Security Gateway or Reflection for the Web and use the Administrative WebStation to deploy Reflection sessions, a browser with a Java plug-in is required to launch those sessions.

Some Reflection 2014 and 2011 products include the Reflection X Advantage component described separately in KB 7021973.

Alert
Diffie-Hellman Logjam Vulnerabilities (CVE-2015-4000)
Date Posted
September 2015
Summary
With TLS protocol 1.2, if DHE_EXPORT ciphersuite is supported by the server, man-in-the-middle attackers can conduct cipher-downgrade attacks. Additionally, with any TLS or SSH connection that uses weaker DH Groups (1024 bits or less) for key exchange, an attacker can passively eavesdrop and decrypt sessions.
Product Status
This issue affects Reflection 2014 version 15.6.1.797 and earlier (identified as version 15.6.797.0 or earlier in Reflection Workspace > Help > About, or Control Panel > Programs).

This
issue is addressed in version 15.6.1.808 (15.6.808.0) and higher. Update to R1 Service Pack 1 Update 1 (15.6.1.812 or 15.6.812.0) or higher. Maintained customers can obtain the latest update on the Downloads website.

Export-grade ciphers are not supported with default encryption strength, and DH Group Exchange is requested with the highest preference. However, to avoid this vulnerability:
* Disable diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 in Key Exchange Algorithms.
* Verify your SSH server does not return a weak DH Group when Group Exchange is requested.

OpenSSL Client RSA Silent Downgrade Vulnerability (CVE-2015-0204)
Date Posted
June 2015, Updated September 2015
Summary
Certain OpenSSL client versions accept the use of a weak temporary export-grade key in a non-export RSA ciphersuite key exchange, thus enabling RSA-to-EXPORT_RSA downgrade attacks. The weakened encryption facilitates brute-force decryption ("FREAK" attack).
Product Status
This issue affects Reflection 2014 versions 15.6.1.761 and earlier (identified as version 15.6.761.0 or earlier in Help > About, or Control Panel > Programs).
This
issue is resolved in versions 15.6.1.765 and higher (identified as version 15.6.765.0 or higher after installation). Update to Reflection 2014 R1 SP1 Update 1 or higher. Maintained customers can obtain the latest update from the Downloads website.

Vulnerability Summary for CVE-2013-0422
Date Posted
January 2013
Summary
Oracle Java 7 Update 10 or earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as exploited "in the wild" and demonstrated by exploit tools such as Blackhole and Nuclear Pack. Note: Oracle states that Java 6 is not affected.

According to Oracle, to be successfully exploited, an unsuspecting user running an affected release in a browser needs to visit a malicious web page that leverages these vulnerabilities. Successful exploits can impact the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of the user's system. These vulnerabilities are not applicable to Java running on servers or within applications.

Product Status
Reflection 2011 or higher products are not subject to this vulnerability, however, Reflection sessions configured using the Administrative WebStation (included in Reflection Administrator, Reflection Security Gateway, and Reflection for the Web, sold separately from Reflection) require that Reflection be launched from a browser with a Java plug-in enabled. It is this JRE plug-in and Java Web Start that can be exploited, not Reflection. To launch sessions using the login/links page and minimize the risk described in this vulnerability, you should refer to the latest information provided by Oracle and install a version of Java that addresses this vulnerability.
Additional Information
For details, see the National Vulnerability Database at http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2013-0422 and Oracle's site at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/alert-cve-2013-0422-1896849.html.

Vulnerability in Visual Basic for Applications Could Allow Remote Code Execution (MS12-046)
Date Posted
October 2012
Summary
The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a legitimate Microsoft Office file (such as a .docx file) that is located in the same directory as a specially crafted dynamic link library (DLL) file. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts that have full user rights. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take complete control of the affected system. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
Product Status
The issue is resolved beginning in Reflection 2011 R3. The VBA version (6.5.10.54) included in Reflection 2011 R3 addresses the VBA vulnerability.

An authenticated user may be able to execute arbitrary code on a host running kadmind. Successful exploitation can compromise the Kerberos key database and host security on the host running these programs. (kadmind and the KDC typically run as root.) Unsuccessful exploitation attempts will likely result in the affected program crashing. Third-party applications calling either the RPC library or the GSS-API library provided with MIT krb5 may be vulnerable.
Product Status
Attachmate products (including NetIQ products) are not vulnerable.

US-CERT Vulnerability Note VU #704024
Date Posted
April 2007
Summary
A buffer overflow exists in the krb5_klog_syslog() function used by kadmind and the KDC. An authenticated user may be able to execute arbitrary code on a host running kadmind. An authenticated user may be able to execute arbitrary code on KDC host. Also, a user controlling a Kerberos realm sharing a key with the target realm may be able to execute arbitrary code on a KDC host. Successful exploitation can compromise the Kerberos key database and host security on the host running these programs. (kadmind and the KDC typically run as root.) Unsuccessful exploitation attempts will likely result in the affected program crashing. Third-party applications calling krb5_klog_syslog() may also be vulnerable.
Product Status
Attachmate products (including NetIQ products) are not vulnerable.

US-CERT Vulnerability Note VU #831452: Kerberos administration daemon may free uninitialized pointers
Date Posted
April 2007
Summary
An unauthenticated user may cause execution of arbitrary code in the Kerberos administration daemon, "kadmind", by causing it to free uninitialized pointers which should have been initialized by the GSS-API library. Compromise of the Kerberos key database may result. Third-party server applications written using the GSS-API library provided with MIT krb5 may also be vulnerable. Affected releases are krb5-1.5 through krb5-1.5.1.
Product Status
Attachmate products (including NetIQ products) are not vulnerable.
Additional Information
For details, see the CERT web site at http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/831452.

Date Posted
July 14, 2005
Summary
Buffer overflow vulnerability in versions 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 of the zlib data compression library inflate() routine. 
Product Status
The Reflection Secure Shell client uses zlib version 1.1.4, which is not subject to this vulnerability.

Announcement of Successful Cryptanalytic Attack on SHA-1
Summary
Three Chinese cryptanalysts from Shandong University have recently documented a successful cryptanalytic attack on the SHA-1 algorithm.
Product Status
Reflection products primarily use SHA-1 to create HMACs (Keyed Hashing for Message Authentication), for verification of message integrity. According to Schneier, because hash collisions are not a prominent concern, this use of SHA-1 is not affected by the cryptanalytic attack.

In next several versions of products that use the SHA-1 algorithm, all vendors—including Attachmate, will likely move to phase out the use of SHA-1 hashes for use in digital signatures and add support for SHA-256 and other stronger hashing algorithms.

Additional
Bruce Schneier, the author of "Applied Cryptography," discusses this announcement on his blog, Schneier on Security. For commentary on this topic, see Mr. Schneier's blog at http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/cryptanalysis_o.html.
Alert
US-CERT Vulnerability Note VU#686862
Summary
MIT Kerberos 5 krb5_aname_to_localname() contains several heap overflows.
Product Status
The Reflection Kerberos Client is not subject to the krb5_aname_to_localname() vulnerabilities (VU#686862) because it contains client functionality only and does no mapping of principal name to username.
