6.4

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

The Legato PortMapper in EMC Legato NetWorker, Sun Solstice Backup 6.0 and 6.1, and StorEdge Enterprise Backup 7.0 through 7.2 does not restrict access to the pmap_set and pmap_unset commands, which allows remote attackers to (1) cause a denial of service by using pmap_unset to un-register a NetWorker service, or (2) obtain sensitive information from NetWorker services by using pmap_set to register a new service.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2005-0359 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
