## Description

EMC Legato NetWorker, Sun Solstice Backup 6.0 and 6.1, and StorEdge Enterprise Backup 7.0 through 7.2 rely on AUTH_UNIX authentication, which relies on user ID for authentication and allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain privileges by spoofing a username or UID.

## What to do
