Descriptions

EMC Data Protection Advisor prior to 6.4 contains a path traversal vulnerability. A remote authenticated high privileged user may potentially exploit this vulnerability to access unauthorized information from the underlying OS server by supplying specially crafted strings in input parameters of the application.

Data Protection Advisor de EMC anterior a versión 6.4, contiene una vulnerabilidad de salto de directorio. Un usuario autenticado remoto con privilegios elevados puede potencialmente explotar esta vulnerabilidad para acceder a información no autorizada desde el servidor del sistema operativo subyacente mediante la proporción de cadenas especialmente creadas en los parámetros de entrada de la aplicación.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable installations of EMC Data Protection Advisor. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be easily bypassed.
The specific flaw exists within the EMC DPA Application service, which listens on TCP port 9002 by default. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose any files accessible to the SYSTEM user.
