Title: HP-UX System Administration Manager NFS Configuration Security Bypass Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

HP-UX is a UNIX-based operating system.

HP-UX is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability because the System Administration Manager (SAM) application can provide an unintended configuration for NFS. Read-only or read-write access to vulnerable computers can be specified with an empty systems list.

Remote attackers can exploit this issue to bypass certain security restrictions and gain access to vulnerable computers.

This issue affects the following versions of HP-UX running SAM:

HP-UX B.11.11
HP-UX B.11.23

Affected Products:

  • Avaya Predictive Dialer
  • Avaya Predictive Dialer (PDS) APC 3.0
  • Avaya Proactive Contact 3.0
