Technical details
A deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability (CWE-502) exists in Dell Unisphere for PowerMax and its associated virtual appliance. The flaw is located in how the application processes serialized objects provided by users. A remote attacker with low-level authenticated access can exploit this by submitting a malicious serialized object, which, when processed by the server, leads to arbitrary code execution. Successful exploitation grants the attacker root-level privileges on the underlying operating system. Dell has released updates (10.3.0.7 or later, and 10.3.1.1 Patch 11360 or later) to address this issue.
Affected products
