VMware vRealize Operations Manager ver 6.x < 6.40 Suite API CollectorHttpRelayController RelayRequest Object DiskFileItem Deserialization DoS

high Nessus Plugin ID 95441

Language:

Synopsis

A cloud operations management application running on the remote web server is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of VMware vRealize Operations (vROps) Manager running on the remote web server is 6.x prior to 6.40. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw in the Suite API CollectorHttpRelayController component due to improper validation of DiskFileItem objects stored in the 'relay-request' XML before attempting deserialization. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via a specially crafted DiskFileItem object embedded in the XML, to move or write arbitrary content to files, resulting in a denial of service condition.

Solution

Upgrade to VMware vRealize Operations Manager version 6.40 or higher.
