Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in EMC OpenText Documentum Content Server up to 7.3. It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown code of the component RPC Command Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

OpenText Documentum Content Server (formerly EMC Documentum Content Server) through 7.3 does not properly validate the input of the PUT_FILE RPC-command, which allows any authenticated user to hijack an arbitrary file from the Content Server filesystem; because some files on the Content Server filesystem are security-sensitive, this leads to privilege escalation.

The bug was discovered 10/14/2017. The weakness was presented 10/13/2017 by Andrey B. Panfilov (Website). The advisory is shared at seclists.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2017-15012 since 10/03/2017. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. A authentication is needed for exploitation.
