Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) OS command injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11066)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote unauthenticated attacker can inject and execute arbitrary shell commands to compromise vulnerable system.


2) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11067)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.

The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to perform a phishing attack and steal potentially sensitive information.


3) OS command injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11076)

The vulnerability allows a remote administrative attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists in the 'getlogs' troubleshooting utility in VDP due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can inject and execute arbitrary shell commands under root privilege.


4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11077)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to VDP Java management console’s SSL/TLS private key may be leaked in the VDP Java management client package. A remote attacker can access arbitrary data that may be used by an unauthenticated attacker on the same data-link layer to initiate a MITM attack on management console users.
