These vulnerabilities can be partially mitigated by configuring the Dell EMC NetWorker server to use nsrauth authentication, and configuring the NetWorker nonempty servers file. Follow the recommendations in the security configuration guide for your product version. These actions limit the scope of exploitation to authorized NetWorker users already defined with “Operator” level or higher privileges.
Mitigation procedure:
Step 1:
Configure the Dell EMC NetWorker server to use nsrauth:
See Security Configuration Guide Chapter 2.
Access Control Settings:
Component access control > Component authentication > Modifying the authentication methods used by NetWorker hosts
Step 2:
Configure the NetWorker nonempty servers file:
See Security Configuration Guide Chapter 2.
Access Control Settings:
Component access control > Component authorization > Restricting remote program executions and client-tasking rights
Note: If you are unsure of your NetWorker server's hostname or IP address, it is recommended to update the servers file with local hostname or IP address.
