Cisco Response

• Microsoft announced four security bulletins that address six vulnerabilities as part of the monthly security bulletin release on January 14th, 2014. A summary of these bulletins is on the Microsoft website at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms14-jan. This document provides identification and mitigation techniques that administrators can deploy on Cisco network devices.

  The vulnerabilities that have a client software attack vector, can be exploited locally on the vulnerable device, require user interaction, can be exploited using web-based attacks (these include but are not limited to cross-site scripting, phishing, and web-based email threats), email attachments, or files stored on network shares are in the following list:

  • MS14-001
  • MS14-002
  • MS14-003
  • MS14-004

  The vulnerabilities that have a network mitigation are in the following list. Cisco devices provide one countermeasure for the vulnerabilities that have a network attack vector, which will be discussed in detail later in this document.

  • MS14-001
  • MS14-002

  Information about affected and unaffected products is available in the respective Microsoft advisories and the Cisco Alerts that are referenced in Cisco Event Response: Microsoft Security Bulletin Release for January 2014.

  In addition, multiple Cisco products use Microsoft operating systems as their base operating system. Cisco products that may be affected by the vulnerabilities described in the referenced Microsoft advisories are detailed in the "Associated Products" table in the "Product Sets" section.

Vulnerability Characteristics

• MS14-001, Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Word and Office Web Apps Could Allow Remote Code Execution (2916605): These vulnerabilities have been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifiers CVE-2014-0258, CVE-2014-0259, and CVE-2014-0260. These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely with authentication and require user interaction. Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities that are associated with CVE-2014-0258, CVE-2014-0259, and CVE-2014-0260 may allow arbitrary code execution.

  Due to the nature of the vulnerabilities, the only mitigation that will be provided will be via Cisco Sourcefire Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention System.

  MS14-002, Vulnerability in Windows Kernel Could Allow Elevation of Privilege (2914368): This vulnerability has been assigned Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier CVE-2013-5065. This vulnerability can be exploited locally with authentication and without user interaction. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow an elevation of privilege.

  Due to nature of the vulnerabilities, the only mitigation that will be provided will be via Cisco Sourcefire Next-Generation Intrusion Prevention System.

Vulnerability Overview

• Information about vulnerable, unaffected, and fixed software is available in the Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for January 2014, which is available at the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms14-jan.mspx

Mitigation Technique Overview

• The vulnerabilities that have a client software attack vector, can be exploited locally on the vulnerable device, require user interaction, can be exploited using web-based attacks (these include but are not limited to cross-site scripting, phishing, and web-based email threats), email attachments, or files stored on network shares are in the following list:

  • MS14-001
  • MS14-002
  • MS14-003
  • MS14-004

  These vulnerabilities are mitigated most successfully at the endpoint through software updates, user education, desktop administration best practices, and endpoint protection software such as Host Intrusion Prevention Systems (HIPS) or antivirus products.

  The vulnerabilities that have a network mitigation are in the following list. Cisco devices provide several countermeasures for these vulnerabilities. This section of the document provides an overview of these techniques.

  • MS14-001
  • MS14-002

  Effective use of Cisco Sourcefire Next Generation IPS provides visibility into and protection against attacks that attempt to exploit these vulnerabilities as discussed later in this document.

Risk Management

• Organizations are advised to follow their standard risk evaluation and mitigation processes to determine the potential impact of these vulnerabilities. Triage refers to sorting projects and prioritizing efforts that are most likely to be successful. Cisco has provided documents that can help organizations develop a risk-based triage capability for their information security teams. Risk Triage for Security Vulnerability Announcements and Risk Triage and Prototyping can help organizations develop repeatable security evaluation and response processes.

Device-Specific Mitigation and Identification

• Caution: The effectiveness of any mitigation technique depends on specific customer situations such as product mix, network topology, traffic behavior, and organizational mission. As with any configuration change, evaluate the impact of this configuration prior to applying the change.

  Specific information about mitigation and identification is available for the Sourcefire Intrusion Prevention System.
