Published: 03/07/2016(UTC)Translated: 15/06/2026(UTC)NVD NIST

Summary

The NTP time-server interface on Meinberg IMS-LANTIME and LANTIME devices with firmware before version 6.20.004 allows remote authenticated users to obtain root privileges for writing to unspecified scripts. This can lead to obtaining sensitive information or modifying data.

Risk Assessment

Organizations may be exposed to data leaks or unauthorized changes in the system, which can lead to serious consequences for data security and integrity.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the firmware to version 6.20.004 or later to mitigate this vulnerability and to restrict access to the nobody account.
