Analyst Synthesis

Technical analysis, exploit verification, and patch instructions for CVE-2017-14380 impacting emc isilon_onefs. Evaluated with CVSS Base Score of 6.7 (MEDIUM).

Original NVD Description

Source: NIST NVD
In EMC Isilon OneFS 8.1.0.0, 8.0.1.0 - 8.0.1.1, 8.0.0.0 - 8.0.0.4, 7.2.1.0 - 7.2.1.5, 7.2.0.x, and 7.1.1.x, a malicious compliance admin (compadmin) account user could exploit a vulnerability in isi_get_itrace or isi_get_profile maintenance scripts to run any shell script as system root on a cluster in compliance mode. This could potentially lead to an elevation of privilege for the compadmin user and violate compliance mode.
