A vulnerability in the client update process of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Software for Windows and Cisco Secure Client Software for Windows could allow a low-privileged, authenticated, local attacker to elevate privileges to those of SYSTEM. The client update process is executed after a successful VPN connection is established.
This vulnerability exists because improper permissions are assigned to a temporary directory that is created during the update process. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by abusing a specific function of the Windows installer process. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute code with SYSTEM privileges.
Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability described in this advisory. Customers with service contracts that entitle them to regular software updates should obtain security fixes through their usual update channels.
Customers may only install and expect support for software versions and feature sets for which they have purchased a license. By installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco software license:
-user-license-agreement.html
Additionally, customers may only download software for which they have a valid license, procured from Cisco directly, or through a Cisco authorized reseller or partner. In most cases this will be a maintenance upgrade to software that was previously purchased. Free security software updates do not entitle customers to a new software license, additional software feature sets, or major revision upgrades.
The Cisco Support and Downloads page on Cisco.com provides information about licensing and downloads. This page can also display customer device support coverage for customers who use the My Devices tool.
When considering software upgrades, customers are advised to regularly consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the Cisco Security Advisories page, to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution.
In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance providers.
Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco TAC: -cisco-worldwide-contacts.html

...When I log in, the client does its start-up bit, and then displays a "This certificate is intended for the following purpose(s):" message. If I decline the certificate, it gives me the error message shown in the image, but I can otherwise continue and establish my VPNs with no problem.
Unfortunately, the certificate it selects has nothing to do with my organization ( in fact, the certificate is for "*.
whitepages.com" - see images). To make matters worse, I can not find this referenced certificate anywhere under my user context in Windows.
When I try to connect to my VPN, I get the same *.
whitepages.com certificate coming up, and whether I accept, decline or cancel, I am unable to connect. I CAN connect if I access my VPN using the webvpn link.
The issue does not seem to be with the user certificate, it seems to be with the site certificate. When I open the AnyConnect client, I have it set to ask which certificate to use. I select my certificate, but it is after that point where the error occurs, as if my ASA is sending out the *.
whitepages.com certificate.
The *.whitepages certificate has come back. It still only happens when I try to connect to my gateway by FQDN. If I use IP address, I don't have this problem. I have not been able to find any other peson who is experiencing this issue, but it's strange that we would both be having the problem with the same certificate name.
I have almost the exact same issue. What I think happens is that the anyconnect client list the certificates that are in the user certificate store of the Windows 7 machine. Unfortunately it does display the already installed user certificate from the ASA. I got around this issue by adding Certificate Matching to my client Profile. I used the ISSUER-CN for matching. And now it works smoothly.
I've come across this issue also. I've put in values for Certificate Matching BUT it only applies AFTER the first login attempt. So the first login attempt, it will use the wrong cert, user logs out, then on the second login attempt it reads the newly downloaded connection profile, identifies the certificate matching value, and then denys the login unless the proper certificate is in place.
Hey Guys, New to firewall and have a strange issue. We have a laptop that has cisco any connect client on it but it would not connect. I had created 3 firewall rule the day before the laptop came in and was looking through the rules i had created to see which one was blocking the any connect. Turn out the rule for P2P was causing the issue. Does anyone know why would a P2P rule stop any connect from connecting. Attached is the Application control policy i am using.
Hello FloSupport. Sorry for the really long delay with the response. The issue was i had a corrupt database on my 125. After i reported this incident other issues started to arise. Had Sophos support take a look and was diagnosed as having a corrupt database. Could not preform a restore from backup as the backup was corrupted also so reloaded from scratch and now all is well.
