      Enterasys Vertical Horizon Switches Multiple Vulnerabilities
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    "The <http://www.enterasys.com/> Vertical Horizon VH-2402S2 Fast Ethernet
    switch provides 24 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports and two option slots for
    expansion, plus a dedicated management slot. "

    Enterasys Vertical Horizon switches contain an undocumented user and
    several debugging keyboard shortcuts that allow attackers access and
    information to and about the switch.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * Vertical Horizon VH-2402S with firmware 02.05.09.07 and prior

    Immune Systems:
     * Vertical Horizon VH-2402S with firmware 2.05.09.08

    An undocumented user "tiger" with a default password "tiger123" allow
    unauthorized users to use and gain information about the switches.

    There are several debugging keyboard shortcuts of Ctrl-F, Ctrl-B, Ctrl-G
    or Ctrl-L when one choose to connect using a serial connection or telnet,
    and obtain debug information about the switches. The write commands
    available after pressing Ctrl-G can be harmful to the switch - allowing
    any valid user including guest user to remotely disable the switch.

    Vendor Status:
    The vendor has released a firmware that remove the default users and the
    debugging shortcuts. The update can be obtained at:
