Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-1133)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in the REST API. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and delete arbitrary files on the file system.


2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-1135)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in a certain REST API endpoint. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and overwrite or list arbitrary files on the affected device.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-1255)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security controls on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to an incorrect comparison in a denylist implementation. A remote authenticated attacker can send specially crafted network traffic and modify server configuration settings on the affected device.
