Advisory ID: NTAP-20180423-0002 Version: 12.0 Last updated: 12/08/2020 Status: Final. CVEs: CVE-2018-5968

Summary

Multiple NetApp products incorporate the Jackson JSON library. FasterXML/jackson-databind versions through 2.8.11, 2.9.x through 2.9.3 are susceptible to a vulnerability which when successfully exploited could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information, unauthorized addition or modification of data or Denial of Service(DoS).

Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information, unauthorized addition or updation of data or Denial of Service(DoS).

Although OnCommand Unified Manager 7.2 and higher ships vulnerable versions of jackson-databind it does not call on enableDefaultTyping() for any polymorphic deserialization operations which is the root cause of this vulnerability.
