Description
Progress OpenEdge Enterprise RDBMS (formerly known as the Progress RDBMS) is
a high-efficiency relational database management system by company Progress
Software Corp productions.It is widely used as backend for cutomezed ERP systems.
This RDBMS has some vulnerabilities that make possible
to enumerate UserID and bypass authentification.
Details
- UserID enumerate
Attacker can get valid UserID. It is possible because OpenEdge RDBMS server
give different answers for situation when password is incorrect and when
UserID does not exist. Client application in both way gives the same message
- “Your Password and UserID <USERID> do not much”. But in network layer
answers from server are different:
Packet 1. From server to client, if UserID exist (UserID eq AAA):
0x0000 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00-00 00 00 02 08 00 45 00 …E.

Packet 2. From server to client, if UserId does not exist:
0x0000 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00-00 00 00 02 08 00 45 00 …E.

So attacker can connect to RDBMS server with different UserID and see
network answers for getting existing UserID.
- Authentication bypass
Remote attacker can log in into RDBMS use existing or not existing UserID
without password. It is possible because authentication process is going
on client side. When password incorrect client application reset connection
with server and show message box. If password is correct, client send to
server UserID which he will be to use in RDBMS.
Packet 3. From client to server, when password for UserID TEST2 is correct:
0x0000 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00-00 00 00 01 08 00 45 00 …E.

0x0070 32 2E 20 28 37 30 38 29-00 00 00 00 2. (708)…
Example of attack:
Patch of %OpenEdge%\bin\prow32.dll (for version 10.2A)
Begin address: 0x020065
- 0f85ce020000
+ 909090909090
After that run DataAdministration(%OpenEdge%\bin\prowin32.exe) and try to
enter into RDBMS with any UserID and without password.
Application show error message box, but allow to enter into RDBMS with
chosen UserId. If chosen UserID has a Security Administrator privileges,
so attacker gets this privileges. By default in OpenEdge RDBMS all
users have Security Administrator privileges.
Fix Information
The only one possible fix is to use Windows authentication instead of proprietary.
