Descriptions

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of EMC Data Protection Advisor 6.3.0. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the EMC DPA Application service, which listens on TCP port 9002 by default. When parsing the preScript parameter, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-4697. NOTE: Dell EMC disputes that this is a vulnerability

** EN DISPUTA ** Esta vulnerabilidad permite que atacantes remotos ejecuten código arbitrario en instalaciones vulnerables de EMC Data Protection Advisor 6.3.0. Se requiere autenticación para explotar esta vulnerabilidad. El fallo específico existe en el servicio EMC DPA Application que escucha en el puerto TCP 9002 por defecto. Cuando se analiza sintácticamente el parámetro preScript, el proceso no valida correctamente una cadena proporcionada por el usuario antes de emplearla para ejecutar una llamada del sistema. Un atacante podría aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código arbitrario en el contexto del sistema. Anteriormente era ZDI-CAN-4697. NOTA: Dell EMC discute que esto sea una vulnerabilidad.
