Synopsis

The remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the SolarWinds Log and Event Manager installed on the remote host is prior to version 6.3.1 Hotfix 3.

 - Due to the program setting insecure permissions for management scripts, a remote attacker to execute commands with elevated, root privileges.(CVE-2017-5198)

 - A flaw exists in the mgrconfig.pl file that may allow an authenticated remote attacker to escape from the sandbox and execute commands with elevated privileges (CVE-2017-5199)

Solution

Upgrade to SolarWinds Log and Event Manager version 6.3.1 Hotfix 3 or later.
