Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Nortel Alteon OS, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion and cross-site request forgery attacks.
1) Input passed via the SSH log files is not properly sanitised before being used in the Alteon OS Browser-Based Interface (BBI). This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in an administrator's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious login data is being viewed.
2) The Alteon OS BBI allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validation checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change certain settings when an logged-in administrative user visits a malicious web page.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 21.0.8.3. Other versions may also be affected.
