Buffer overflow in nsrindexd in EMC NetWorker 7.5.x and 7.6.x before 7.6.5, and 8.x before 8.0.0.6, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted SunRPC data.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a remote code execution risk in EMC NetWorker backup software. A flaw in the nsrindexd service can be triggered with crafted SunRPC data. Backup systems often hold sensitive recovery data, so affected versions should be treated as high-priority infrastructure risk. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running legacy EMC NetWorker 7.5.x, 7.6.x, or early 8.x systems. Risk increases if NetWorker services or SunRPC interfaces are reachable from untrusted networks or broad internal segments. Prioritize remediation where NetWorker protects critical systems or is reachable beyond a tightly controlled backup network. There is no cited active exploitation, but remote code execution against backup infrastructure creates material operational and data recovery risk. Mitigation focus: Upgrade NetWorker 7.6.x systems to 7.6.5 or later.; Upgrade NetWorker 8.x systems to 8.0.0.6 or later.; Retire NetWorker 7.5.x deployments if no supported fixed path exists..
