Description:
Three vulnerabilities have been confirmed in Axis Webcams version 2100 and 2400. The vulnerabilities have all been identified in the embedded Video Server (version 2.33 and prior).

The first vulnerability is caused by an access control error. Any person can request the file "http://[server]/support/messages", which returns "/var/log/messages" and may disclose sensitive information.

The other two vulnerabilities are both caused by an input validation error in "command.cgi". A malicious person can exploit these to create arbitrary files or overwrite system files causing a DoS (Denial of Service).

Confirmed vulnerable versions:

Log access:
2400: 2.00 and above
2401: 2.00 and above

Overwriting files:
2130: 2.32
2400: 2.00 and above
2401: 2.00 and above
2420: 2.30 and above

Solution:
It is possible to implement a workaround by changing /etc/httpd/conf/boa.conf

Log access:
Add the two following lines:
AuthPath /usr/html/support/ axadmin
AuthPath /support/ axadmin

Overwriting files:
Change the lines referring to /axis-cgi/buffer/ from axview to axadmin

Provided and/or discovered by:
Martin Eiszner

Original Advisory:
26/03-2003 Axis has published information regarding a workaround by changing the configuration
