Synopsis

The remote virtual appliance is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The EMC VMAX VASA Provider Virtual Appliance running on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability in the UploadConfigurator servlet due to a failure to restrict file uploads to arbitrary directories. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to upload files containing arbitrary code and then execute them with root privileges.

Nessus has tested for this vulnerability by uploading a JSP file to the context path of the SE application (/opt/emc/vapp/jboss/standalone/deployments/vapp.ear/SE.war), fetching it, and thereby executing the Java code in the JSP file. Note that Nessus has attempted to delete the uploaded JSP file after fetching it. Users are advised to delete the JSP file if Nessus was unable to delete it.

Solution

Upgrade to EMC VMAX VASA Provider Virtual Appliance version 8.4.0 or later.
