CVE-2019-18580

Dell EMC Storage Monitoring and Reporting version 4.3.1 contains a Java RMI Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability. A remote unauthenticated attacker may potentially exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted RMI request to execute arbitrary code on the target host.

Weakness

The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

Affected Software

Potential Mitigations

• Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
• An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
