Synopsis

A virtualization appliance installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of VMware vSphere Data Protection installed on the remote host is 5.5.x, 5.8.x, or 6.0.x prior to 6.0.5, or it is 6.1.x prior to 6.1.14. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An unspecified flaw exists when handling Java deserialization that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the appliance.
 (CVE-2017-4914)

 - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to using a weak encryption algorithm that allows a local attacker to disclose credentials. (CVE-2017-4917)

Solution

Upgrade to VMware vSphere Data Protection version 6.0.5 / 6.1.14 or later.
