Arbitrary File Hijacking and Privilege Escalation in OpenText Documentum Content Server

CVE-2017-15012 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:S/C:P/I:P/A:P

OpenText Documentum Content Server (formerly EMC Documentum Content Server) through 7.3 does not properly validate the input of the PUT_FILE RPC-command, which allows any authenticated user to hijack an arbitrary file from the Content Server filesystem; because some files on the Content Server filesystem are security-sensitive, this leads to privilege escalation.
