CVE-2014-2959: logViewer.htm on the Dell ML6000 tape backup system with firmware before i8.2.0.2 (641G.GS103) and the Quan...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability affects specific Dell and Quantum tape backup systems. A remote attacker could make the device run unintended system commands through a vulnerable log viewer page. Backup infrastructure is operationally important, so affected systems should be identified and upgraded if still deployed. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still operating Dell ML6000 or Quantum Scalar i500 tape backup systems with vulnerable firmware, especially where administrative web interfaces are reachable by untrusted networks. Prioritize if these tape backup systems remain in service. The risk is highest where the web interface is reachable beyond a tightly controlled management network. If no affected hardware is present, no immediate action is indicated. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Dell ML6000 systems to firmware i8.2.0.2 (641G.GS103) or later.; Upgrade Quantum Scalar i500 systems to firmware i8.2.2.1 (646G.GS002) or later.; Check vendor or CERT guidance before assuming unsupported systems are remediated..
