The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers). An example of a network attack is an attacker causing a denial of service by sending a specially crafted TCP packet across a wide area network (e.g., CVE-2004-0230).
Attack Complexity
Low
AC
The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Privileges Required
High
PR
The attacker requires privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable system allowing full access to the vulnerable system’s settings and files.
Scope
Unchanged
S
An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In the case of a vulnerability in a virtualized environment, an exploited vulnerability in one guest instance would not affect neighboring guest instances.
Confidentiality
High
C
There is total information disclosure, resulting in all data on the system being revealed to the attacker, or there is a possibility of the attacker gaining control over confidential data.
Integrity
High
I
There is a total compromise of system integrity. There is a complete loss of system protection, resulting in the attacker being able to modify any file on the target system.
Availability
High
A
There is a total shutdown of the affected resource. The attacker can deny access to the system or data, potentially causing significant loss to the organization.

Introduction:
=============
The Barracuda Web Filter is an integrated content filtering, application blocking and malware protection
solution that is powerful, easy to use and affordable for businesses of all sizes. It enforces Internet
usage policies by blocking access to Web sites and Internet applications that are not related to business,
and it easily and completely eliminates spyware and other forms of malware from your organization. No more
productivity loss trying to repair computers or make computers usable again.
Blocks access to Web sites based on domain, URL pattern, or content category
Blocks downloads based on file type
Blocks applications that access the Internet, including IM, music services, and software update utilities
Integrates with safe search filters built into popular images search engines
Provides integrated gateway and desktop spyware protection
Uses Barracuda Web Security Agents compatible with Windows PCs and Macs to enforce Internet policies on off-network computers
The Barracuda Web Filter combines preventative, reactive, and proactive measures to form a complete Web
filtering solution. Designed for the enterprise, the Barracuda Web Filter enables you to set up custom policies
for particular users and groups across customizable time ranges. The Barracuda Web Filter integrates with popular
LDAP directory servers, such as Microsoft Active Directory, for both authentication and group membership
information on which to apply custom policies. Sample uses of group policies include:
Restricting access to job board Web sites to only the Human Resources group
Defining separate policies for teachers and students at a school
Enabling compliance officers unrestricted access to the Web for investigation
Providing external instant messaging (e.g., AIM) access only to specific users or groups
Restricting personal Web browsing to non-working hours
For organizations that do not utilize directory servers, policies can be defined for unauthenticated users as a whole,
locally defined users and groups, or network IP address ranges.

Severity:
=========
Medium
Details:
========
Multiple persistent input validation vulnerabilities are detected in the Barracudas Web Filter Application v5.0.0.015 Appliance Model 910.
The bugs allow remote attackers to implement/inject malicious script code on the application side (persistent). Successful exploitation
of the vulnerability can lead to session hijacking (manager/admin) or stable (persistent) context manipulation. Exploitation requires
low user inter action. The vulnerability is located in the NTLM Edit - Host & Domain Name which is bound to the affected vulnerable
Existing Authentication Services listing. Another vulnerability is located on the upload key tab in combination with the
unsanitized short domain name input field + output listing.
Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] Authentification > New Authentication Service
[-] NTLM - Server Hostname & Domain Name - Existing Authentication Services
[+] Authentification > Kerberos > Advanced Settings
[-] Upload Key Tab File in combination with alternative Short Domain Name

Proof of Concept:
=================
The persistent web vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers with high[-](medium+) user inter action or via
local low privileged user account with low require user inter action. For demonstration or reproduce ...

Affected:

Solution:
=========
Barracuda Networks solved this issue in the Barracuda Networks Webfilter firmware 6.0.0 and up.
This release is generally available (to all our customers) July 25th, 2012.
The persistent vulnerabilities can be patched by a char restriction of the vulnerable input fields & by parsing the input/output.
Secure the input preview listing of edit ntlm and the output listing in Existing Authentication Services to secure the complete function.
Risk:
=====
The security risk of the both persistent input validation vulnerabilities at the same location are estimated as medium(+).
