Huawei OceanStor 2800 V3, V300R003C00, V300R003C20, OceanStor 5300 V3, V300R003C00, V300R003C10, V300R003C20, OceanStor 5500 V3, V300R003C00, V300R003C10, V300R003C20, OceanStor 5600 V3, V300R003C00, V300R003C10, V300R003C20, OceanStor 5800 V3, V300R003C00, V300R003C10, V300R003C20 have an improper access control vulnerability. Due to incorrectly restrict access to a resource, an attacker with high privilege may exploit the vulnerability to query some information or send specific message to cause some service abnormal.

Weakness

The product specifies permissions for a security-critical resource in a way that allows that resource to be read or modified by unintended actors.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Oceanstor_2800_firmware Huawei v300r003c00 (including) v300r003c00 (including)
Oceanstor_2800_firmware Huawei v300r003c20 (including) v300r003c20 (including)

Potential Mitigations

  • Run the code in a “jail” or similar sandbox environment that enforces strict boundaries between the process and the operating system. This may effectively restrict which files can be accessed in a particular directory or which commands can be executed by the software.
  • OS-level examples include the Unix chroot jail, AppArmor, and SELinux. In general, managed code may provide some protection. For example, java.io.FilePermission in the Java SecurityManager allows the software to specify restrictions on file operations.
  • This may not be a feasible solution, and it only limits the impact to the operating system; the rest of the application may still be subject to compromise.
  • Be careful to avoid CWE-243 and other weaknesses related to jails.
