ESA-2013-041: EMC VNX and Celerra Control Station Elevation of Privilege
Vulnerability
EMC Identifier: ESA-2013-041
CVE Identifier: CVE-2013-3270
Severity Rating: CVSS v2 Base Score: 6.8 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C)
Affected products:
? EMC VNX Control Station versions prior 7.1.70.2
? EMC Celerra Control Station versions prior 6.0.70.1
Summary:
A vulnerability exists in EMC VNX and EMC Celerra Control Station that could
result in elevation of privileges by a lower level administrator with access to
the system.
Details:
Script files in affected products exist with ownership permissions for the
nasadmin group account (different from the ?nasadmin? user). Commands in these
files could be executed in a root-level context. A less privileged
administrator could exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary commands as the
root user.
Note: The ?nasadmin? user account on the VNX or Celerra Control Station is
designed to be the most privileged (and hence most trusted) administrator for
the system. This user has system-wide management capabilities for the box and
is authorized to make extensive changes to the storage system. Use of the
?nasadmin? user account should be viewed and treated appropriately. Additional
information about the nasadmin user, group, and role on the VNX and Celerra
Control Station can be found in EMC Knowledge Base article emc325029.
Resolution:
The following products contain resolution to the security issue described above:
? EMC VNX Control Station version 7.1.70.2 and later
? EMC Celerra Control Station version 6.0.70.1 and later
EMC strongly recommends all customers upgrade to above listed versions at the
earliest opportunity. Customers are advised to always review the usage of the
?nasadmin? user account on their systems and restrict it as necessary. See EMC
Knowledge Base article emc325029 for more information.
