A security scan may return a flag for the following files on the SiteMinder r12.8.8.1 or older Policy Server:
LINUX:
/<Install_Dir>/CA/siteminder/CAPKI/CAPKI5/Linux/amd64/64/lib/libcaopenssl_ssl.so
/<Install_Dir>/CA/siteminder/CAPKI/CAPKI5/Linux/amd64/64/lib/libcaopenssl_crypto.so
WINDOWS:
<Install_Dir>\CA\siteminder\etpki-install\CAPKI5\Windows\amd64\64\lib\libcaopenssl_ssl.dll
<Install_Dir>\CA\siteminder\etpki-install\CAPKI5\Windows\amd64\64\lib\libcaopenssl_crypto.dll
CAPKI (Previously known as ETPKI) is a C language-based Software Development Kit (SDK) that provides CA Development Community with features required to implement Information Security services in its products. CAPKI is a wrapper on OpenSSL which is robust, commercial-grade, and full-featured toolkit for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols.
NOTE: SiteMinder r12.9 Policy Server uses CAPKI 6. For CAPKI 6 on SiteMinder 12.9 use KB 452920 Vulnerabilities in OpenSSL 3.0.20 delivered in CAPKI 6.0.3 bundled with SiteMinder 12.9 Policy Server
Environment
PRODUCT: Symantec SiteMinder
COMPONENT: Policy Server
VERSION: r12.8.8.1 and Older
OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows and Linux
Cause
CAPKI (Previously known as ETPKI) is a wrapper on OpenSSL. CAPKI 5.2.x is built with OpenSSL 1.0.2.
The Siteminder Policy Server ships with the following versions of CAPKI:
SiteMinder Policy Server 12.8.7 uses CAPKI 5.2.11 which uses OpenSSL 1.0.2zf
SiteMinder Policy Server 12.8.8 uses CAPKI 5.2.13 which uses OpenSSL 1.0.2zi
SiteMinder Policy Server 12.8.8.1 uses CAPKI 5.2.13 which uses OpenSSL 1.0.2zj
KB427908 (archived) delivered CAPKI 5.2.16
KB409211 (archived) delivered CAPKI 5.2.17
KB441109 (archived) delivered CAPKI 5.2.18
CAPKI 5.2.18 and older are compiled with versions of OpenSSL 1.0.2zp and older which have vulnerabilities (CVE's) published.
Resolution
Upgrade to CAPKI 5.2.20 on the SiteMinder Policy Server using this KB.
CAPKI 5.2.20 has been compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.2zq.
This solution applies to the following SiteMinder Policy Server versions:
- r12.8.8.1 and older
LINUX
1) Download "etpki-install_5_2_20_linux.zip" from this KB.
2) Copy "etpki-install_5_2_20_linux.zip" to the SiteMinder Policy Server on Linux and decompress it. This will create the directory /etpki-install/ in the same directory you placed "etpki-install_5_2_20_linux.zip"
3) Run the Policy Server environment variable scripts
cd /<Install_Dir>/CA/siteminder/
. ./ca_ps_env.ksh
4) Verify the Policy Server environment variables
echo $NETE_PS_ROOT
echo $CAPKIHOME
5) Stop the Policy Server
6) Change to the following directory:
cd $NETE_PS_ROOT
7) Backup the '/CAPKI/' directory by renaming it '/CAPKI.BAK'
mv CAPKI CAPKI.BAK
8) Copy the '/etpki-install/' directory from "etpki-install_5_2_20_linux.zip" to /<Install_Dir>/CA/siteminder/
9) Change to the following directory:
cd $NETE_PS_ROOT/etpki-install/redistrib/
10) Ensure the user has execute permissions on the installation media (setup)
11) Run the following command:
./setup install caller=ps12 instdir=$NETE_PS_ROOT
NOTE: This will create a new '/<Install_Dir>/CA/siteminder/CAPKI/CAPKI5/' directory
12) Verify/Modify the $CAPKIHOME variable in the environment variable script:
/<Install_Dir>/CA/siteminder/ca_ps_env.ksh
CAPKIHOME=$NETE_PS_ROOT/CAPKI
export CAPKIHOME
13) Run the updated Policy Environment variable script.
cd /<Install_Dir>/CA/siteminder/
. ./ca_ps_env.ksh
14) Start the Policy Server
15) Validate Policy Server functionality
16) Delete the following files:
/<Install_Dir>/CA/siteminder/CAPKI.BAK
17) Look for any of the following directories*:
/<Install_Dir>/CA/SharedComponents/CAPKI
/<Install_Dir>/CA/SC/CAPKI
NOTE: These directories may not exist in your system. If they do, you will need to determine which application is using them. If there are no other applications using these CAPKI instances, then they can be removed.
SiteMinder Default: <Install_Dir>/CA/secure-proxy/agentframework/CAPKI
Directory Server Default: <Install_Dir>/CA/Directory/dxserver/lib/capki/
WINDOWS
1) Download "etpki-install_5_2_20_win64.zip" from this KB.
2) Copy "etpki-install_5_2_20_win64.zip" to the Policy Server on Windows and decompress it. This will create the directory 'etpki-install' in the same directory you placed "etpki-install_5_2_20_win64.zip"
3) Stop the Policy Server
4) Change to the following directory:
<Drive>:\<Install_Dir>\CA\SiteMinder\
5) Backup the '\CAPKI\' directory by renaming it '\CAPKI.BAK\'
ren CAPKI CAPKI.BAK
6) Copy the '/etpki-install/' directory from "etpki-install_5_2_20_win64.zip" to <Drive>:\<Install_Dir>\CA\SiteMinder\
7) Open a command prompt using cmd.exe as an administrator (Run As Administrator)
8) Change to the following directory:
<Drive>:\<Install_Dir>\CA\siteminder\
9) Run the Policy Server environment variable script
ca_ps_env.bat
10) Change to the following directory:
<Drive>:\<Install_Dir>\CA\siteminder\etpki-install\redistrib\
11) Run the following command:
setup.exe install caller=ps12 instdir="%NETE_PS_ROOT%"
NOTE: This will create the following directories:
'<Drive>:\<Install_Dir>\CA\siteminder\CAPKI\CAPKI5\Windows\amd64\64\
12) Start the Policy Server
13) Validate Policy Server functionality
14) Delete the following files:
<Drive>:\<Install_Dir>\CA\siteminder\CAPKI.BAK
15) Check for the to the following directories:
<Install_Dir>\CA\SharedComponents\CAPKI
<Install_Dir>\CA\SC\CAPKI
NOTE: These directories may not exist in your system. If they do, you will need to determine which application is using them. If there are no other applications using these CAPKI instances, then they can be removed.
