lhn/public/network/ping in HP SAN/iQ 9.5 on the HP Virtual SAN Appliance allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the (1) first, (2) third, or (3) fourth parameter. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-4361.

The version of SAN/iQ running on the remote host has a command injection vulnerability. The hydra service, used for remote management and configuration, does not properly sanitize untrusted input. A remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary commands as root. Authentication is required, but can be bypassed easily by using default, hard-coded credentials.
