Discussion

Network Appliance iSCSI Authentication Bypass Vulnerability

Network Appliance's iSCSI implementation is susceptible to an authentication bypass vulnerability.

This issue allows attackers to bypass iSCSI authentication, allowing them to read/write arbitrary data contained in iSCSI volumes. Access to potentially sensitive information will aid them in further attacks. Data destruction and alteration is also possible.

Unmapped LUNs, and LUNs mapped for use by only Fibre Channel initiators are not vulnerable to this issue.

Versions 6.4, 6.5, and 7.0 are reported vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
