Microsoft has released an update for Microsoft Exchange Server that remediates for the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2019-1084: An information disclosure vulnerability exists when Exchange allows creation of entities with Display Names having non-printable characters. This security update addresses the issue by validating display names upon creation in Microsoft Exchange, and by rendering invalid display names correctly in Microsoft Outlook clients.
CVE-2019-1136: An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Microsoft Exchange Server. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same rights as any other user of the Exchange server. This could allow the attacker to perform activities such as accessing the mailboxes of other users. To address this vulnerability, Microsoft has changed the way EWS handles NTLM tokens.
CVE-2019-1137: A cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists when Microsoft Exchange Server does not properly sanitize a specially crafted web request to an affected Exchange server. An authenticated attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request to an affected server. The security update addresses the vulnerability by helping to ensure that Exchange Server properly sanitizes web requests.Affected Software:
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 3
Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 23
Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 12
Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 13
Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 Cumulative Update 1KB Articles covered: KB4509408, KB4509409,KB4509410.
QID Detection Logic (authenticated):
The QID checks for the version of file Exsetup.exe if it is lesser than:
The version for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 SP3 is 14.3.468.0.
The version for Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 23 is 15.0.1497.3.
The version for Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 12 is 15.1.1713.8.
The version for Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 13 is 15.1.1779.4.
The version for Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 Cumulative Update 1 is 15.2.330.9.
The version for Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 Cumulative Update 2 is 15.2.397.5. - Consequence
-
Based on the vulnerability being exploited, an attacker could:
- exploit this vulnerability by creating entities with invalid display names, which, when added to conversations, remain invisible.
- execute a man-in-the-middle attack to forward an authentication request to a Microsoft Exchange Server, thereby allowing impersonation of another Exchange user.
- perform cross-site scripting attacks on affected systems and run script in the security context of the current user. - Solution
