Dell Avamar, versions prior to 19.12 with patch 338905, contains an Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in the Security. A high privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to information disclosure.

EMC Avamar Data Store (ADS) and Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) versions 7.3.0 and 7.3.1 contain a vulnerability that may allow malicious administrators to compromise Avamar servers.

In EMC Avamar Server Software 7.4.1-58, 7.4.0-242, 7.3.1-125, 7.3.0-233, 7.3.0-226, an unauthorized attacker may leverage the file upload feature of the system maintenance page to load a maliciously crafted file to any directory which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the Avamar Server system.

In EMC Avamar Server Software 7.3.1-125, 7.3.0-233, 7.3.0-226, 7.2.1-32, 7.2.1-31, 7.2.0-401, an unauthenticated remote attacker may potentially bypass the authentication process to gain access to the system maintenance page. This may be exploited by an attacker to view sensitive information, perform software updates, or run maintenance workflows.

Avamar Data Store (ADS) and Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) in EMC Avamar Server before 7.3.0-233 use the same encryption key across different customers' installations, which allows remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms and obtain sensitive client-server traffic information by leveraging knowledge of this key from another installation.

EMC Avamar 6.0.x, 6.1.x, and 7.0.x in Avamar Data Store (ADS) GEN4(S) and Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE), when Password Hardening before 2.0.0.4 is enabled, uses UNIX DES crypt for password hashing, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain cleartext passwords via a brute-force attack.

Directory traversal vulnerability in EMC Avamar Server 7.x before 7.1.2 and Avamar Virtual Addition (AVE) 7.x before 7.1.2 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by using the Avamar Desktop/Laptop client interface to send crafted parameters.

Avamar Data Store (ADS) and Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) in EMC Avamar Server before 7.3.0-233 rely on client-side authentication, which allows remote attackers to spoof clients and read backup data via a modified client agent.

Avamar Data Store (ADS) and Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) in EMC Avamar Server before 7.3.0-233 allow local users to obtain root privileges by leveraging admin access and entering a sudo command.

The web-restore interface in Avamar Data Store (ADS) and Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) in EMC Avamar through 7.1.2 and 7.2.x through 7.2.1 allows remote authenticated users to read or delete directories via a Linux backup-restore operation.

EMC Avamar Data Store (ADS) and Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) versions 7.3 and older contain a vulnerability that may expose the Avamar servers to potentially be compromised by malicious users.

Avamar Data Store (ADS) and Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) in EMC Avamar Server before 7.3.0-233 allow local users to obtain root access via a crafted parameter to a command that is available in the sudo configuration.

Avamar Data Store (ADS) and Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) in EMC Avamar Server before 7.3.0-233 use weak permissions for unspecified directories, which allows local users to obtain root access by replacing a script with a Trojan horse program.

Unspecified vulnerability in EMC Avamar before 5.0.4-30 allows remote authenticated users to gain privileges via unknown vectors.

EMC Avamar Server and Avamar Virtual Edition before 7.0 on Data Store Gen3, Gen4, and Gen4s platforms do not properly restrict use of FRAME elements, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted web site, related to "cross frame scripting vulnerabilities."

Unspecified vulnerability in EMC Avamar 4.1.x and 5.0 before SP1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (gsan service hang) by sending a crafted message using TCP.

EMC Avamar Client 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x on HP-UX and Mac OS X, and the EMC Avamar plugin 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x for Oracle, uses world-writable permissions for cache directories, which allows local users to gain privileges via an unspecified symlink attack.

EMC Avamar 4.x, 5.0.x, and 6.0.x before 6.0.0-592 allows remote authenticated users to modify client data or obtain sensitive information about product activities by leveraging privileged access to a different domain.

The service utility in EMC Avamar 5.x before 5.0.4 uses cleartext to transmit event details in (1) service requests and (2) e-mail messages, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network.

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.
