EMC Avamar Client for VMware 6.1 stores the cleartext server root password on the proxy client, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging "network access" to the proxy client.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2012-4610 requires adjacent network access, limiting remote exploitation but still posing risk in shared or local network environments.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
