New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)

Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.

VPR Score: 7.4

Synopsis

Arbitrary code can be executed on the remote host.

Description

The version of the Scheduler Service component installed as part of Veritas Storage Foundation for Windows on the remote host allows NULL NTLMSSP authentication. If requests can be sent to the TCP service listening on port 4888, a remote attacker can leverage this issue to add, modify, or delete snapshot schedules and consequently to run arbitrary code on the affected host under the context of the SYSTEM user.

Solution

Apply the patch as discussed in the vendor's advisory.
