FreeNAS < 0.7.2 rev 5543 exec_raw.php Arbitrary Command Execution

FreeNAS 0.7.2 prior to revision 5543 includes an unauthenticated command‐execution backdoor in its web interface. The exec_raw.php script exposes a cmd parameter that is passed directly to the underlying shell without sanitation.

An issue was discovered in iXsystems FreeNAS (and TrueNAS) 11.2 before 11.2-u8 and 11.3 before 11.3-U1. It allows a denial of service. The login authentication component has no limits on the length of an authentication message or the rate at which such messages are sent.
