Descriptions

OpenText Documentum Content Server (formerly EMC Documentum Content Server) through 7.3 contains the following design gap, which allows an authenticated user to gain superuser privileges: Content Server stores information about uploaded files in dmr_content objects, which are queryable and "editable" (before release 7.2P02, any authenticated user was able to edit dmr_content objects; now any authenticated user may delete a dmr_content object and then create a new one with the old identifier) by authenticated users; this allows any authenticated user to replace the content of security-sensitive dmr_content objects (for example, dmr_content related to dm_method objects) and gain superuser privileges.

OpenText Documentum Content Server (anteriormente conocido como EMC Documentum Content Server) hasta la versión 7.3 contiene el siguiente fallo de diseño, que permite que un usuario autenticado gane privilegios de superuser: Content Server almacena información sobre archivos subidos en objetos dmr_content, los cuales son consultables y "editables" (antes de la distribución 7.2P02, cualquier usuario autenticado podía editar objetos dmr_content; ahora cualquier usuario autenticado puede borrar objetos dmr_content y, a continuación, crear uno nuevo con el antiguo identificador) por usuarios autenticados. Esto permite que cualquier usuario autenticado reemplace el contenido de objetos dmr_content sensibles (por ejemplo, contenido dmr_content relacionado con objetos dm_method objects) y obteniendo privilegios de superuser.

Opentext Documentum Content Server (formerly known as EMC Documentum Content Server) contains a design gap that allows any authenticated user the ability to replace content of security-sensitive dmr_content objects (for example, dmr_content related to dm_method objects) and gain superuser privileges.
