Cisco Clean Access Host-based Check Bypass Security Issue Advisory Available in Danish 

Secunia Advisory: SA16530  
Release Date: 2005-08-23

Critical:
Less critical
Impact: Security Bypass
Where: From local network
Solution Status: Vendor Workaround

Software:Cisco Clean Access (CCA) 3.x



Description:
llhansen has reported a security issue in CCA (Cisco Clean Access), which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.

The security issue is caused due to the CCA Server relying on the "User-Agent" string sent by the user's browser to determine whether to install the CCA Agent. This can be bypassed by sending a fake "User-Agent" string.

Successful exploitation allows a Windows system to bypass host-based checks.

The security issue has been reported in versions 3.5.3.1 and 3.5.4.

Solution:
See the vendor's advisory for recommended solutions.
