Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2013-0940 is a local privilege escalation issue in EMC NetWorker clients. The nsrpush process created or handled unspecified files with weak permissions, allowing a local user to potentially gain higher privileges. It matters most on servers where NetWorker clients run and local shell or application users exist. Exposure is limited to systems running affected EMC NetWorker client versions. Internet-facing exposure is not indicated. Risk increases where untrusted or lower-privileged local users can access NetWorker client hosts. Treat as a targeted remediation item for backup infrastructure. Prioritize shared servers, regulated environments, and systems where local users or applications run with lower privileges. Mitigation focus: Inventory EMC NetWorker clients and identify versions before 7.6.5.3 or 8.0.1.4.; Upgrade affected clients to 7.6.5.3, 8.0.1.4, or later vendor-supported releases.; Review EMC advisory ESA-2013-028 for exact vendor remediation guidance..
