CVE-2006-3425

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FastPatch in PatchLink Update Server (PLUS) before 6.1 P1 and 6.2.x before 6.2 SR1 P1, as well as Novell ZENworks 6.2 SR1 and earlier, does not require authentication for dagent/proxyreg.asp. This allows remote attackers to list, add, or delete PatchLink Distribution Point (PDP) proxy servers by modifying the List, Proxy, or Delete parameters.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can manipulate PDP proxy servers without authentication, potentially disrupting patch distribution or injecting malicious proxy servers. This poses a serious risk to the integrity of the organization's patch management process.

Recommendation

Update PatchLink Update Server to version 6.1 P1 or 6.2 SR1 P1 (or later) and Novell ZENworks to a version later than 6.2 SR1 as soon as possible. Until patching, restrict access to dagent/proxyreg.asp via firewall rules or web server authentication.
