CVE-2018-15772: Dell EMC RecoverPoint Uncontrolled Resource Consumption Vulnerability

Dell EMC RecoverPoint versions prior to 5.1.2.1 and RecoverPoint for VMs versions prior to 5.2.0.2 contain an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability. A malicious boxmgmt user may potentially be able to consume large amount of CPU bandwidth to make the system slow or to determine the existence of any system file via Boxmgmt CLI.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects Dell EMC RecoverPoint management access. A malicious authenticated boxmgmt user could consume high CPU, slowing the system, or infer whether system files exist through the Boxmgmt CLI. The sources do not provide CVSS scoring or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to organizations running affected Dell EMC RecoverPoint or RecoverPoint for VMs versions with boxmgmt users who can access the Boxmgmt CLI. Internet exposure is not established by the sources. Prioritize remediation where RecoverPoint supports critical recovery operations or where multiple administrators have boxmgmt access. The business risk is operational slowdown of resilience infrastructure, not confirmed broad remote compromise. Mitigation focus: Upgrade RecoverPoint to 5.1.2.1 or later.; Upgrade RecoverPoint for VMs to 5.2.0.2 or later.; Review Dell EMC advisory DSA-2018-205 for environment-specific guidance..
