CAPEC 描述

An attacker, with control of a Cellular Rogue Base Station or through cooperation with a Malicious Mobile Network Operator can force the mobile device (e.g., the retransmission device) to use no encryption (A5/0 mode) or to use easily breakable encryption (A5/1 or A5/2 mode).

CAPEC 信息

前提条件

Cellular devices that allow negotiating security modes to facilitate backwards compatibility and roaming on legacy networks.

所需技能

Adversaries can purchase and implement rogue BTS stations at a cost effective rate, and can push a mobile device to downgrade to a non-secure cellular protocol like 2G over GSM or CDMA.

缓解措施

Use of hardened baseband firmware on retransmission device to detect and prevent the use of weak cellular encryption.
Monitor cellular RF interface to detect the usage of weaker-than-expected cellular encryption.

相关弱点

CWE-ID 弱点名称

CWE-757

Selection of Less-Secure Algorithm During Negotiation
A protocol or its implementation supports interaction between multiple actors and allows those actors to negotiate which algorithm should be used in a protection mechanism such as encryption or authentication, but it does not select the strongest algorithm that is available to both parties.
