SAP Router Password Timing Attack


1. *Advisory Information*

Title: SAP Router Password Timing Attack
Advisory ID: CORE-2014-0003
Advisory URL:
http://www.coresecurity.com/advisories/sap-router-password-timing-attack
Date published: 2014-04-15
Date of last update: 2014-03-06
Vendors contacted: SAP
Release mode: Coordinated release


2. *Vulnerability Information*

Class: Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy [CWE-208]
Impact: Security bypass
Remotely Exploitable: Yes
Locally Exploitable: No
CVE Name: CVE-2014-0984


3. *Vulnerability Description*


      SAP Router [1]  is an application-level gateway used to
      connect systems in a SAP infrastructure. A vulnerability
      have been found in SAP Router that could allow an unauthenticated
      remote attacker to obtain passwords used to protect route entries
by a
      timing side-channel attack.
    


4. *Vulnerable Packages*

   . SAP Router release 721 patch level 117.
   . SAP Router release 720 patch level 411.
   . SAP Router release 710 patch level 029.
   . Other versions are probably affected too, but they were not checked.

5. *Vendor Information, Solutions and Workarounds*


      SAP released the security note
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1986895
      regarding these issues. Contact SAP for further information.
    


      Martin Gallo proposed the following actions to mitigate the
      impact of the vulnerabilities:
      

   1. Disable the use of passwords on the Route Permission Table [2].
      
   2. Enforce the use of SNC (Secure Network Communications) as an
      authentication mechanism for securing routes.
        

6. *Credits*


      This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Martin Gallo
from Core
      Security Consulting Services. The publication of this advisory was
      coordinated by Fernando Miranda from Core Advisories Team.
    


7. *Technical Description / Proof of Concept Code*


      SAP Router permits and/or forbids networks connections based on a
      Route Permission Table [2]. Entries in the
      Route Permission Table can have a password. If a password is
specified
      for a given entry in the Route Permission Table, SAP Router checks
whether
      the user-supplied password matches with the one in the Route
Permission
      Table entry before permitting a connection.
    


      The vulnerable function 'passwordCheck'
      performs a non-constant time string comparison for checking the
      user-supplied password against the on in the Route Permission Table.
      On the first non-matched character, the string comparison function
      immediately interrupts the evaluation cycle, which may let an
attacker perform timing attacks.
      The following snippet shows an excerpt of the vulnerable code
within the
      'passwordCheck' function:
