Description Preview
The Quantum Scalar i500 tape library with firmware before i7.0.3 (604G.GS00100), also distributed as the Dell ML6000 tape library with firmware before A20-00 (590G.GS00100) and the IBM TS3310 tape library with firmware before R6C (606G.GS001), have a vulnerability where default passwords are used for unspecified user accounts. This vulnerability could be exploited by remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to the affected tape libraries.
Overview
This vulnerability affects the Quantum Scalar i500 tape library, Dell ML6000 tape library, and IBM TS3310 tape library with specific firmware versions. By using default passwords for unspecified user accounts, remote attackers could potentially gain unauthorized access to the affected systems.
Remediation
To remediate this vulnerability, it is recommended to update the firmware of the affected tape libraries to versions i7.0.3 (604G.GS00100) for Quantum Scalar i500, A20-00 (590G.GS00100) for Dell ML6000, and R6C (606G.GS001) for IBM TS3310 or later. Additionally, it is important to change default passwords to strong, unique passwords for all user accounts to prevent unauthorized access.
