Impact

Security vulnerabilities in the Sun StorEdge Enterprise Backup Software may result in one or both of the following issues:

1. A remote unauthorized user may be able to circumvent the authentication procedure in the Sun StorEdge Enterprise Backup Software, and also the database server which forms part of the software, to gain elevated privileges, execute arbitrary commands, or cause a denial of service (DoS) to the backup server. The remote user may be able to view files backed up by the software from other hosts, regardless of the permissions, and may be able to use the server to run arbitrary commands on other hosts running as backup clients.

In addition, a local unprivileged user may be able to gain elevated privileges on a system running the StorEdge Enterprise Backup Software.

• http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/407641

2. A remote unauthorized user may be able to access the port mapping configuration of the Sun StorEdge Enterprise Backup server to cause a denial of backup service to the backup server or reconfigure the port mappings to achieve goals such as eavesdropping on network communication.
