Critical

Published: 19/06/2017(UTC)Translated: 14/06/2026(UTC)NVD NIST

Summary

In EMC VNX2 versions prior to OE for File 8.1.9.211 and VNX1 versions prior to OE for File 7.1.80.8, an unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to elevate their permissions to root through a command injection. This may potentially allow an attacker to run arbitrary code with root-level privileges on the targeted VNX Control Station system.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability poses a serious risk to organizations by allowing remote attackers to execute code with elevated privileges, potentially leading to full control over the system.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update systems to OE for File 8.1.9.211 for VNX2 and OE for File 7.1.80.8 for VNX1 to mitigate this vulnerability.
