CVE Reference: CVE-2019-18199
Author of Advisory: Matthias Deeg (SySS GmbH)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overview:
Fujitsu Wireless Keyboard Set LX390 is a wireless desktop set consisting
of a mouse and a keyboard.
The manufacturer describes the product as follows (see [1, 2]):
"The Wireless Keyboard Set LX390 is an excellent desktop solution for
users with ambition. This durable keyboard set is equipped with secure
2.4 GHz technology and plug and play technology. The elegant mouse
works on most surfaces due to its precise 1000 dpi sensor. It offers
fabulous features and ultra slim, portable design."
Due to an insecure implementation of the data communication, the
wireless keyboard LX390 is vulnerable to replay attacks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vulnerability Details:
SySS GmbH found out that the wireless keyboard Fujitsu LX390 is prone to
replay attacks.
An attacker can simply sniff the data packets of the 2.4 GHz radio
communication sent by the keyboard to the receiver (USB dongle) and
replay the recorded communication data at will causing the same effect
as the original data communication.
A replay attack against the keyboard can, for example, be used to gain
unauthorized access to a computer system that is operated with a
vulnerable Fujitsu LX390 keyboard. In this attack scenario, an attacker
records the radio communication during a password-based user
authentication of his or her victim, for instance during a login to the
operating system or during unlocking a screen lock. At an opportune
moment when the victim's computer system is unattended, the attacker
approaches the victim's computer and replays the previously recorded
data communication for the password-based user authentication and
thereby gets unauthorized access to the victim's system.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Proof of Concept (PoC):
SySS GmbH could successfully perform a replay attack as described in the
previous section using a software-defined radio in combination with the
software tool GNU Radio Companion.
It was also possible to perform successful replay attacks using an
in-house developed software tool in combination with the USB radio
dongle Crazyradio PA and the nrf-research-firmware by Bastille Networks
Internet Security written by Marc Newlin (see [3] and [4]).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solution:
The Fujitsu Wireless Keyboard Set LX390 reached its end-of-life (EOL) in
May 2019.
Fujitsu has released two new wireless keyboard sets named LX410 [5] and
LX960 [6] that are not affected by the described security issue.
SySS recommends replacing LX390 wireless keyboard sets used in
environments with higher security demands, for instance with one of the
newer successor models LX410 or LX960.
