Vulnerable Products

Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable

The WebEx meeting service is a hosted multimedia conferencing solution that is managed and maintained by Cisco WebEx. The WRF file format is used to store WebEx meeting recordings that have been recorded on a WebEx meeting site or on the computer of an online meeting attendee. The Cisco WebEx WRF Player is the application used to play back and edit WebEx WRF recording files, which use the .wrf extension. The Cisco WebEx WRF Player can be automatically installed when the user accesses a recording file that is hosted on a WebEx meeting site (for stream playback mode). The Cisco WebEx WRF Player can also be manually installed after downloading the application from http://www.webex.com/play-webex-recording.html to play back recording files locally (for offline playback mode).

The following table provides the Cisco bug IDs and Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifiers that have been assigned for the vulnerabilities in this advisory:

Title	CVE ID	Cisco Bug ID
Cisco WebEx Recording Format Player Buffer Overflow Vulnerability	CVE-2012-3936	CSCua40962
Cisco WebEx Recording Format Player Buffer Overflow Vulnerability	CVE-2012-3937	CSCtz72967
Cisco WebEx Recording Format Player Buffer Overflow Vulnerability	CVE-2012-3938	CSCtz73583
Cisco WebEx WRF Player Memory Corruption Vulnerability	CVE-2012-3939	CSCua61331
Cisco WebEx Recording Format Player Buffer Overflow Vulnerability	CVE-2012-3940	CSCtz72958
Cisco WebEx Recording Format Player Heap Overflow Vulnerability	CVE-2012-3941	CSCtz72850

Exploitation of the vulnerabilities may cause the Cisco WebEx WRF Player application to crash or, in some cases, result in remote code execution.

To exploit one of these vulnerabilities, the Cisco WebEx WRF Player application must open a malicious WRF file. An attacker may be able to accomplish this exploit by providing the malicious recording file directly to users (for example, by using e-mail) or by directing a user to a malicious web page. Users who are attending a WebEx meeting cannot trigger the vulnerabilities.

Cisco has scored the vulnerabilities in this advisory based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS scoring in this security advisory is in accordance with CVSS version 2.0.

CVSS is a standards-based scoring method that conveys vulnerability severity and helps organizations determine the urgency and priority of a response.

Cisco has provided a base and temporal score. Customers can also compute environmental scores that help determine the impact of the vulnerability in their own networks.

Cisco has provided additional information regarding CVSS at the following link:

http://www.cisco.com/web/about/security/intelligence/cvss-qandas.html

Cisco has also provided a CVSS calculator to compute the environmental impact for individual networks at the following link:

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities that are described in this document could cause the Cisco WebEx WRF Player application to crash and, in some cases, allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the user who is running the Cisco WebEx WRF Player application.

When considering software upgrades, customers are advised to consult the Cisco Security Advisories and Responses archive at http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt and review subsequent advisories to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution.

In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or your contracted maintenance providers.

The following client builds of Cisco WebEx Business Suite (WBS 27 and WBS 28) correct the vulnerabilities described in this advisory:

• Client builds 28.4 (T28.4)
• Client builds 27.32.10 (T27LDSP32EP10)

Client builds prior to T27 SP32 have reached end of support; to obtain fixed software please upgrade to the latest version.

To determine the WebEx client build, users can log in to their Cisco WebEx meeting site and navigate to the Support > Downloads section via the links on the left side of the page. The version of the WebEx client build will be displayed on the right side of the page. Cisco WebEx software updates are cumulative in client builds. For example, if client build 27.32.10 is fixed, build 27.32.11 will also contain the software update.

The Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, and Linux versions of the Cisco WebEx WRF Player are all affected. If the Cisco WebEx WRF Player was automatically installed, it will be automatically upgraded to the latest, nonvulnerable version when users access a recording file that is hosted on a WebEx meeting site. If the Cisco WebEx WRF Player was manually installed, users must download the latest version from http://www.webex.com/play-webex-recording.html and install it. 

Users can determine whether a Cisco WebEx WRF Player is affected by these vulnerabilities by manually verifying the installed version. To do so, users can examine the file version and determine whether it contains the fixed code.

Microsoft Windows

Five dynamic link libraries (DLLs) were updated on the Microsoft Windows platform to address the vulnerabilities that are described in this advisory. These files are in the C:\Program Files\WebEx\Record Playback folder or the C:\Program Files (x86)\Webex\Record Player folder. The version number of a DLL can be obtained by browsing the Record Playback directory in Windows Explorer, right-clicking the filename, and choosing Properties. The Version or Details tab of the Properties page provides details on the library version. The following table provides the first fixed version for each DLL. If the installed versions are equal to or greater than the versions provided in the table, the system is not vulnerable.

Client Build	Cisco DLL Filename	DLL File Versions
28.4	atas32.dll	28,400,12,629

Apple Mac

Four package bundles were updated on the Apple Mac OS platform to address the vulnerabilities that are described in this advisory. This file is in each user's home directory and can be accessed from ~/Library/Application Support/WebEx Folder/924. The version can be obtained by browsing to the appropriate folder in Finder and control-clicking the filename. When the menu is displayed, choose show package contents and then double-click the Info.plist file. The version number is shown at the bottom of the displayed table. The following table provides the first fixed version for each package bundle. If the installed versions are equal to or greater than the versions provided in the table, the system is not vulnerable.

Client Build	Cisco Bundle Filename	Bundle File Versions
28.4	atas.bundle	1207,25,2804,0
28.4	asplayback.bundle	1206,26,2804,0

27.32.10	WebEx Player.app	1206.28.2732.10

Linux

Three shared objects were updated on the Linux platform to address the vulnerabilities that are described in this advisory. These files are in the ~/.webex directory. The version number of the shared objects can be obtained by performing a directory listing with the ls command. The version number is provided after the .so extension. The following table provides the first fixed version for each shared object. If the installed versions are equal to or greater than the versions provided in the table, the system is not vulnerable.

Client Build	Cisco Shared Object Filename	Shared Object File Versions
28.4	atascli.so	1,0,28,18
28.4	libnbrascli.so	1.0.28.17
28.4	atascli.so (used by meeting client)	922800025
27.32.10	atascli.so	1.29.27.27
27.32.10	libnbrascli.so	1.29.27.22
