Description Preview
This CVE describes a security vulnerability present in the firmware of the Quantum Scalar i500 tape library and the Dell ML6000 tape library. The vulnerability allows remote attackers to exploit an absolute path traversal issue in the logShow.htm file, enabling them to read arbitrary files by providing a full pathname in the file parameter. This could potentially lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information stored on the affected devices.
Overview
The vulnerability affects the Quantum Scalar i500 tape library and the Dell ML6000 tape library with specific firmware versions installed. By manipulating the file parameter in the logShow.htm file, remote attackers can traverse the file system and access files they are not authorized to view.
Remediation
To remediate this vulnerability, users of the affected tape libraries should update the firmware to versions i7.0.3 (604G.GS00100) for Quantum Scalar i500 or A20-00 (590G.GS00100) for Dell ML6000. By applying the necessary firmware updates, the absolute path traversal issue in logShow.htm can be patched, preventing unauthorized file access by remote attackers.
