Descriptions

EMC Documentum Content Server before 7.1P20 and 7.2.x before 7.2P04 does not properly verify authorization for dm_job object access, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain superuser privileges via crafted object operations. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-4626.

Vulnerabilidad en EMC Documentum Content Server en versiones anteriores a 7.1P20 y 7.2.x en versiones anteriores a 7.2P04, no verifica correctamente la autorización para el acceso de objeto dm_job, lo que permite a usuarios remotos autenticados obtener privilegios de superusuario a través de operaciones de objeto manipulado. NOTA: esta vulnerabilidad existe debido a una solución incompleta para CVE-2014-4626.

EMC Documentum Content Server includes a privilege escalation vulnerability that could potentially be exploited by malicious, regular users to perform certain actions as the superuser. Unprivileged Content Server users may potentially escalate their privileges to become a superuser by creating and performing malicious operations on dm_job objects. This is due to improper authorization checks being performed on such objects and some of their attributes. The previous fix for CVE-2014-4626 was incomplete. Versions 7.2 and below are affected.
