DESCRIPTION OF THE VULNERABILITY

Three vulnerabilities were announced in Cisco ASA Web VPN, Clientless SSL VPN.

An attacker can create an HTML page containing a function stored in the CSCO_WebVPN[’process’] variable. The csco_wrap_js() JavaScript function then calls attacker’s function, and its code runs in the context of the web proxy. [grav:2/4; 18373, BID-35476, CSCsy80694, CVE-2009-1201]

The proxy changes urls using a ROT13 encoding. However, if a script changes the first byte, the returned page is not rewritten, and the JavaScript code it contains is thus executed in the context of the proxy. [grav:2/4; 18442, BID-35480, CSCsy80705, CVE-2009-1202]

An HTML page can contain a link to a FTP of CIFS site requesting an authentication. When the victim clicks on this link, a dialog box appears. However, this window is similar to the proxy authentication window, which can deceive the victime and invite him to enter his proxy login and password. [grav:2/4; 18536, BID-35475, CSCsy80709, CVE-2009-1203]
