VMware vSphere Replication Bash Environment Variable Command Injection Vulnerability (VMSA-2014-0010) (Shellshock)
critical Nessus Plugin ID 78771
Language:
Synopsis
The remote host has a virtualization appliance installed that is affected by Shellshock.Description
The VMware vSphere Replication installed on the remote host is version 5.1.x prior to 5.1.2.2, 5.5.x prior to 5.5.1.3, 5.6.x prior to 5.6.0.2, or 5.8.x prior to 5.8.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by a command injection vulnerability in GNU Bash known as Shellshock, which is due to the processing of trailing strings after function definitions in the values of environment variables. This allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via environment variable manipulation depending on the configuration of the systemSolution
Upgrade to vSphere Replication 5.1.2.2 / 5.5.1.3 / 5.6.0.2 / 5.8.0.1 or later.See Also
