CVE-2018-1217: Avamar Installation Manager in Dell EMC Avamar Server 7.3.1, 7.4.1, and 7.5.0, and Dell EMC Integrated Data...

Avamar Installation Manager in Dell EMC Avamar Server 7.3.1, 7.4.1, and 7.5.0, and Dell EMC Integrated Data Protection Appliance 2.0 and 2.1, is affected by a missing access control check vulnerability which could potentially allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to read or change the Local Download Service (LDLS) credentials. The LDLS credentials are used to connect to Dell EMC Online Support. If the LDLS configuration was changed to an invalid configuration, then Avamar Installation Manager may not be able to connect to Dell EMC Online Support web site successfully. The remote unauthenticated attacker can also read and use the credentials to login to Dell EMC Online Support, impersonating the AVI service actions using those credentials.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw lets an unauthenticated remote attacker access or alter support-service credentials in affected Dell EMC Avamar and IDPA systems. Those systems often support backup and recovery operations, so credential exposure or broken support connectivity can create operational and security risk. Exposure is limited to Dell EMC Avamar Server 7.3.1, 7.4.1, 7.5.0 and IDPA 2.0, 2.1 where Avamar Installation Manager is reachable by attackers. The bundle does not state default network exposure. Prioritize this for backup and disaster-recovery environments because it affects unauthenticated credential access and support-service integrity. Treat internet or broad internal exposure as urgent, even though active exploitation is not proven in the supplied sources. Mitigation focus: Identify affected Avamar Server and IDPA versions in backup environments.; Check Dell EMC DSA-2018-025 or vendor guidance for supported fixes.; Restrict Avamar Installation Manager access to trusted administrative networks..
