Summary:
A vulnerability exists in EMC Data Protection Advisor that can be potentially exploited to gain unauthorized access to files and directories.
Details:
The DPA Web UI contains directory traversal vulnerability that could allow a remote unauthenticated malicious user to copy and read files from the affected system. The vulnerability does not allow an attacker to modify existing or upload new files to the affected system. If recommended practice is followed and the DPA server processes run as an unprivileged user, these files will be limited to the DPA installation directory. The DPA installation directory may contain files with sensitive system information.
Resolution:
The following EMC Data Protection Advisor products contain a resolution to this issue:
EMC Data Protection Advisor 5.6, 5.6 SP1 (Patch DPA-21068)
EMC Data Protection Advisor 5.7, 5.7 SP1 (Patch DPA-21068)
EMC Data Protection Advisor 5.8, 5.8 SP1, 5.8 SP2, 5.8 SP3, 5.8 SP4 (Patch DPA-21068)
The DPA server processes will need to be shut down to allow the patch to be applied.
EMC strongly recommends all customers apply the relevant patches at the earliest opportunity.
