CVE-2005-0357

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The vulnerability in EMC Legato NetWorker, Sun Solstice Backup 6.0 and 6.1, and StorEdge Enterprise Backup 7.0 through 7.2 relies on AUTH_UNIX authentication, which uses user ID for authentication and allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain privileges by spoofing a username or UID.

Risk Assessment

The risk for the organization includes the possibility of unauthorized access to backup systems, which could lead to compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of backup data.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the software to a version that does not rely solely on AUTH_UNIX, or to implement additional authentication mechanisms such as Kerberos or certificate-based authentication.
