## Affected

- n/a EMC VNX2 versions prior to OE for File 8.1.9.211, EMC VNX1 versions prior to OE for File 7.1.80.8: version range not reported

## Description

In EMC VNX2 versions prior to OE for File 8.1.9.211 and VNX1 versions prior to OE for File 7.1.80.8, an unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to elevate their permissions to root through a command injection. This may potentially be exploited by an attacker to run arbitrary code with root-level privileges on the targeted VNX Control Station system, aka remote code execution.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a EMC VNX2 versions prior to OE for File 8.1.9.211, EMC VNX1 versions prior to OE for File 7.1.80.8, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
