Cisco Prime Data Center Network Manager 10.1.x < 10.2.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 100843

Language:

Synopsis

A network management system installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Cisco Prime Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) installed on the remote host is 10.1.x prior to 10.2.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the role-based access control (RBAC) functionality due to a lack of authentication and authorization mechanisms for a debugging tool. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. (CVE-2017-6639)

- A flaw exists due to the presence of a default user account with a static password that is not automatically removed post-installation. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to login and gain root or system-level privileges. (CVE-2017-6640)

Solution

Upgrade to Cisco Prime Data Center Network Manager version 10.2.1 or later.
