description

Fortra BoKS Manager's crlserver is affected by a command-injection vulnerability when handling CRL URL entries. An authenticated user permitted to manage those entries can cause commands to run as root on the BoKS Master; BCC and WSI can expose this administration function over the network.

mitigation

Restrict BCC, WSI, and cacrl CRL-URL administration privileges to fully trusted administrators, and remove unnecessary network access to BCC and WSI. Apply vendor-provided remediation when it becomes available; no fixed version is recorded in the advisory.
