Descriptions

Avamar Data Store (ADS) and Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) in EMC Avamar Server before 7.3.0-233 use the same encryption key across different customers' installations, which allows remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms and obtain sensitive client-server traffic information by leveraging knowledge of this key from another installation.

Avamar Data Store (ADS) y Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) en EMC Avamar Server en versiones anteriores a 7.3.0-233 utilizan la misma clave de cifrado a través de instalaciones de clientes diferentes, lo que permite a atacantes remotos vencer mecanismos de protección criptográfico y obtener información sensible del tráfico cliente-servidor aprovechando el conocimiento de esta clave para otra instalación.
