------------------------------------------------------------------------


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.

debugging shortcuts. The update can be obtained at:
