BARRACUDA EMAIL SECURITY GATEWAY APPLIANCE (ESG) VULNERABILITY

WE ARE COMMITTED TO

SECURING YOUR DATA




BARRACUDA EMAIL SECURITY GATEWAY APPLIANCE (ESG) VULNERABILITY

 


MAY 30TH, 2023:


PRELIMINARY SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS

Barracuda Networks priorities throughout this incident have been transparency
and to use this as an opportunity to strengthen our policies, practices, and
technology to further protect against future attacks. Although our investigation
is ongoing, the purpose of this document is to share preliminary findings,
provide the known Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), and share YARA rules to aid
our customers in their investigations, including with respect to their own
environments.

Timeline

 * On May 18, 2023, Barracuda was alerted to anomalous traffic originating from
   Barracuda Email Security Gateway (ESG) appliances.
 * On May 18, 2023, Barracuda engaged Mandiant, leading global cyber security
   experts, to assist in the investigation.
 * On May 19, 2023, Barracuda identified a vulnerability (CVE-2023-28681) in our
   Email Security Gateway appliance (ESG).
 * On May 20, 2023, a security patch to remediate the vulnerability was applied
   to all ESG appliances worldwide.
 * On May 21, 2023, a script was deployed to all impacted appliances to contain
   the incident and counter unauthorized access methods.
 * A series of security patches are being deployed to all appliances in
   furtherance of our containment strategy.

Key Findings

While the investigation is still on-going, Barracuda has concluded the
following:

 * The vulnerability existed in a module which initially screens the attachments
   of incoming emails. No other Barracuda products, including our SaaS email
   security services, were subject to the vulnerability identified.
 * Earliest identified evidence of exploitation of CVE-2023-2868 is currently
   October 2022.
 * Barracuda identified that CVE-2023-2868 was utilized to obtain unauthorized
   access to a subset of ESG appliances.
 * Malware was identified on a subset of appliances allowing for persistent
   backdoor access.
 * Evidence of data exfiltration was identified on a subset of impacted
   appliances.

Users whose appliances we believe were impacted have been notified via the ESG
user interface of actions to take. Barracuda has also reached out to these
specific customers. Additional customers may be identified in the course of the
investigation.

CVE-2023-2868

On May 19, 2023, Barracuda Networks identified a remote command injection
vulnerability (CVE-2023-2868) present in the Barracuda Email Security Gateway
(appliance form factor only) versions 5.1.3.001-9.2.0.006. The vulnerability
stemmed from incomplete input validation of user supplied .tar files as it
pertains to the names of the files contained within the archive. Consequently, a
remote attacker could format file names in a particular manner that would result
in remotely executing a system command through Perl's qx operator with the
privileges of the Email Security Gateway product.

Barracuda's investigation to date has determined that a third party utilized the
technique described above to gain unauthorized access to a subset of ESG
appliances.

Malware

This section details the malware that has been identified to date.

SALTWATER

SALTWATER is a trojanized module for the Barracuda SMTP daemon (bsmtpd) that
contains backdoor functionality. The capabilities of SALTWATER include the
ability to upload or download arbitrary files, execute commands, as well as
proxy and tunneling capabilities.

Identified at path: /home/product/code/firmware/current/lib/smtp/modules on a
subset of ESG appliances.

The backdoor is implemented using hooks on the send, recv, close syscalls and
amounts to five components, most of which are referred to as “Channels” within
the binary. In addition to providing backdoor and proxying capabilities, these
components exhibit classic backdoor functionality.  The five (5) channels can be
seen in the list below.

 * DownloadChannel
 * UploadChannel
 * ProxyChannel
 * ShellChannel
 * TunnelArgs

Mandiant is still analyzing SALTWATER to determine if it overlaps with any other
known malware families. Table 1 below provides the file metadata related to a
SALTWATER variant.

Table 1 below provides the file metadata related to a SALTWATER variant.

MD5 File Type Size (Bytes) 827d507aa3bde0ef903ca5dec60cdec8 ELF x86 1,879,643

Table 1: SALTWATER variant metadata

SEASPY

SEASPY is an x64 ELF persistence backdoor that poses as a legitimate Barracuda
Networks service and establishes itself as a PCAP filter, specifically
monitoring traffic on port 25 (SMTP). SEASPY also contains backdoor
functionality that is activated by a "magic packet".

Identified at path: /sbin/ on a subset of ESG appliances.

Mandiant analysis has identified code overlap between SEASPY and cd00r, a
publicly available backdoor.

Table 2 below provides the file metadata related to a SEASPY variant.

Table 2: SEASPY variant metadata

SEASIDE

SEASIDE is a Lua based module for the Barracuda SMTP daemon (bsmtpd) that
monitors SMTP HELO/EHLO commands to receive a command and control (C2) IP
address and port which it passes as arguments to an external binary that
establishes a reverse shell.

Table 3 below provides the file metadata related to a SEASIDE.

Recommendations For Impacted Customers

 1. Ensure your ESG appliance is receiving and applying updates, definitions,
    and security patches from Barracuda. Contact Barracuda support
    (support@barracuda.com) to validate if the appliance is up to date.
 2. Discontinue the use of the compromised ESG appliance and contact Barracuda
    support (support@barracuda.com) to obtain a new ESG virtual or hardware
    appliance.
 3. Rotate any applicable credentials connected to the ESG appliance:
    o  Any connected LDAP/AD
    o  Barracuda Cloud Control
    o  FTP Server
    o  SMB
    o  Any private TLS certificates
 4. Review your network logs for any of the IOCs listed below and any unknown
    IPs. Contact compliance@barracuda.com if any are identified.

To support customers in the investigations of their environments, we are
providing a list of all endpoint and network indicators observed over the course
of the investigation to date. We have also developed a series of YARA rules that
can be found in the section below.

MAY 23RD, 2023:

Barracuda identified a vulnerability (CVE-2023-2868) in our Email Security
Gateway appliance (ESG) on May 19, 2023. A security patch to eliminate the
vulnerability was applied to all ESG appliances worldwide on Saturday, May 20,
2023. The vulnerability existed in a module which initially screens the
attachments of incoming emails. No other Barracuda products, including our SaaS
email security services, were subject to this vulnerability.

We took immediate steps to investigate this vulnerability. Based on our
investigation to date, we’ve identified that the vulnerability resulted in
unauthorized access to a subset of email gateway appliances. As part of our
containment strategy, all ESG appliances have received a second patch on May 21,
2023. Users whose appliances we believe were impacted have been notified via the
ESG user interface of actions to take. Barracuda has also reached out to these
specific customers.

We will continue actively monitoring this situation, and we will be transparent
in sharing details on what actions we are taking. Information gathering is
ongoing as part of the investigation. We want to ensure we only share validated
information with actionable steps for you to take. As we have information to
share, we will provide updates via this product status page
(https://status.barracuda.com) and direct outreach to impacted customers.
Updates are also located on Barracuda’s Trust Center
(https://www.barracuda.com/company/legal).

Barracuda’s investigation was limited to the ESG product, and not the customer’s
specific environment. Therefore, impacted customers should review their
environments and determine any additional actions they want to take.

Your trust is important to us. We thank you for your understanding and support
as we work through this issue and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it
may cause. If you have any questions, please reach out to support@barracuda.com.
