Raritan Dominion SX (DSX) Console Servers DSX16, DSX32, DSX4, DSX8, and DSXA-48 set (1) world-readable permissions for /etc/shadow and (2) world-writable permissions for /bin/busybox, which allows local users to obtain hashed passwords or execute arbitrary code as other users.

Hi,
during my research on console servers I’ve encountered a severe problem on one appliance.
Summary: Access right escalation / severe permission problems on Raritan Console Servers
Confirmed on DSX32, Software version: 2.4.6 www.raritan.com, more see below
Details: DSX Raritan Console Servers come with two accounts not having a password. They are “protected” by “exit” in ~/.profile. Users normally is not supposed to get access to the underlying Linux. DES encrypted root passwd is easily retrievable from the network without providing credentials. Also the machine can be rendered useless by moving the busybox binary.
Vulnerable Versions: Vendor Confirmation for DSX16, DSX32, DSX4, DSX8, DSXA-48 (Mips and Intel).
Patches/Workarounds: After reporting it to Raritan a fix was released: http://www.raritan.com/support/sup_upgrades.aspx
