Technical description

The Legato PortMapper in EMC Legato NetWorker, Sun Solstice Backup 6.0 and 6.1, and StorEdge Enterprise Backup 7.0 through 7.2 does not restrict access to the pmap_set and pmap_unset commands, which allows remote attackers to (1) cause a denial of service by using pmap_unset to un-register a NetWorker service, or (2) obtain sensitive information from NetWorker services by using pmap_set to register a new service.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from emc. Update legato_networker to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
