Cisco Roundup Six servers have been compromised via SaltStack vulnerabilities, according to a company statement.
The compromised systems acted as salt-master servers for its 1.2 and 1.3 versions productCisco Virtual Internet Routing Lab Personal Edition (VIRL-PE).
Of course, all of the company's customer facilities on these Cisco servers are affected.
SaltStack is a tool for managing software running on remote systems. THE application εξέδωσε ενημερώσεις ασφαλείας στα τέλη Απριλίου για δύο ευπάθειες που μπορούν να αξιοποιηθούν από malicioususers to gain control over the hosts.
So Cisco tested six VIRL-PE salt-master servers (us-1.virl.info, us-2.virl.info, us-3.virl.info, us-4.virl.info, vsm-us-1 .irl.info and vsm-us-2.virl.info) on May 7, and found that they had been violated.
According to one Publication of the company on May 28:
The Cisco infrastructure maintains the master-salt servers used with Cisco VIRL-PE. These servers were upgraded on May 7, 2020. Cisco found that the salt-master servers serving versions 1.2 and 1.3 of Cisco VIRL-PE had been compromised.
Cisco says it has fixed two critical vulnerabilities in SaltStack (CVE-2020-11651 and CVE-2020-11652) in platform VIRL-PE and in Cisco Modeling Labs Corporate Edition (CML).
To mention that Cisco hardware and infrastructure is used by the Greek State but also by many large companies and organizations.
Meanwhile, Cisco has acquired monitoring firm ThousandEyes in a deal believed to be worth a total of $1 billion dollars. The San Francisco company will be merged with the new Cisco Networking Services business unit.
