Dell iDRAC
CVE-2018-1243
Dell EMC iDRAC6, versions prior to 2.91, iDRAC7/iDRAC8, versions prior to 2.60.60.60 and iDRAC9, versions prior to 3.21.21.21, contain a weak CGI session ID vulnerability. The sessions invoked via CGI binaries use 96-bit numeric-only session ID values, which makes it easier for remote attackers to perform bruteforce session guessing attacks.
Affected versions (NVD)
| Product | Versions |
|---|---|
| idrac6_firmware | < 2.91 |
| idrac7_firmware | < 2.60.60.60 |
| idrac8_firmware | < 2.60.60.60 |
| idrac9_firmware | < 3.21.21.21 |
What to do
NVD marks firmware before these versions as affected: idrac6_firmware before 2.91; idrac7_firmware before 2.60.60.60; idrac8_firmware before 2.60.60.60; idrac9_firmware before 3.21.21.21. 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.
