high Nessus Plugin ID 40886

Synopsis
The remote backup service allows execution of arbitrary code.Description
The remote service appears to be Zmanda Recovery Manager (ZRM) for MySQL's socket-server.pl. ZRM for MySQL offers a backup and recovery solution for MySQL, and the socket-server.pl component typically runs on a MySQL server out of xinetd to support remote operations.The installed version of socket-server.pl fails to sanitize user input to the 'MYSQL_BINPATH' variable before using it in a 'system()' call.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary commands on the remote host subject to the privileges under which the service runs, typically 'mysql'.
Solution
Upgrade to Zmanda ZRM 2.1.1 or later.See Also
