Dell iDRAC
CVE-2018-1211
Dell EMC iDRAC7/iDRAC8, versions prior to 2.52.52.52, contain a path traversal vulnerability in its Web server's URI parser which could be used to obtain specific sensitive data without authentication. A remote unauthenticated attacker may be able to read configuration settings from the iDRAC by querying specific URI strings.
Affected versions (NVD)
| Product | Versions |
|---|---|
| emc_idrac7 | < 2.52.52.52 |
| emc_idrac8 | < 2.52.52.52 |
What to do
NVD marks firmware before these versions as affected: emc_idrac7 before 2.52.52.52; emc_idrac8 before 2.52.52.52. The usual fix is to update to that version or later. Vendors patch each firmware branch separately, so confirm the fixed build for your branch in the advisory.
