CVE-2017-4984
In EMC VNX2 versions prior to OE for File 8.1.9.211 and VNX1 versions prior to OE for File 7.1.80.8, an unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to elevate their permissions to root through a command injection.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.57%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
In EMC VNX2 versions prior to OE for File 8.1.9.211 and VNX1 versions prior to OE for File 7.1.80.8, an unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to elevate their permissions to root through a command injection. This may potentially be exploited by an attacker to run arbitrary code with root-level privileges on the targeted VNX Control Station system, aka remote code execution.
