high Nessus Plugin ID 161797

Language:

Synopsis

Dell EMC iDRAC9 installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of Dell EMC iDRAC9 installed on the remote host is prior to 5.00.10.00. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the DSA-2021-177 advisory.

- There's a flaw in the zeromq server in versions before 4.3.3 in src/decoder_allocators.hpp. The decoder static allocator could have its sized changed, but the buffer would remain the same as it is a static buffer. A remote, unauthenticated attacker who sends a crafted request to the zeromq server could trigger a buffer overflow WRITE of arbitrary data if CURVE/ZAP authentication is not enabled. The greatest impact of this flaw is to application availability, data integrity, and confidentiality. (CVE-2021-20235)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
