CVE-2018-11076: Dell EMC Avamar and Integrated Data Protection Appliance Information Exposure Vulnerability

Security readout for executives and security teams

Some Dell EMC backup management products could ship a management-console SSL/TLS private key inside the Java client package. Someone already on the same local network segment could use that key to impersonate or intercept management-console traffic, putting backup administration sessions at risk. Exposure is most likely where affected Avamar or IDPA versions remain in service and administrators use the Java management console on networks shared with untrusted or compromised hosts. Schedule remediation as a near-term backup-platform security item, especially if affected versions are still used in production. The issue is not internet-scale from the supplied evidence, but backup administration compromise can materially affect recovery resilience. Mitigation focus: Inventory Avamar and IDPA deployments for the listed affected versions.; Review Dell EMC and VMware advisory guidance for fixed versions or required updates.; Restrict management-console access to trusted administrative networks only..
