Synopsis

The remote web server contains a Java web application that is affected by remote code execution vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of ManageEngine Desktop Central running on the remote host is affected by the following file upload vulnerabilities that allow the execution of arbitrary code by a remote attacker :

- A failure to validate the 'filename' parameter of the 'statusUpdate' servlet when performing a 'LFU' action. (CVE-2014-5005)

- A failure to validate the 'filename' parameter of the 'mdmLogUploader' servlet. (CVE-2014-5006)

- A failure to validate the 'filename' parameter of the 'agentLogUploader' servlet. This flaw was previously identified by CVE-2013-7390 and reported as fixed in version 8 build 80293; however, the fix was incomplete, and a method for bypassing it was discovered and re-reported. (CVE-2014-5007)

Solution

Upgrade to ManageEngine Desktop Central 9 build 90055 or later.
