Advisory ID: NTAP-20211215-0001 Version: 27.0 Last updated: 06/21/2022 Status: Final. CVEs: CVE-2021-45046
Summary
Multiple NetApp products incorporate Apache Log4j. It was found that the fix to address CVE-2021-44228 in Apache Log4j 2.15.0 was incomplete in certain non-default configurations. Certain Apache Log4j versions prior to 2.16.0 are susceptible to a vulnerability which when successfully exploited could allow attackers with control over Thread Context Map (MDC) input data to craft malicious input data using a JNDI Lookup pattern resulting in an information leak and remote code execution in some environments and local code execution in all environments.
Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to disclosure of sensitive information, addition or modification of data, or Denial of Service (DoS).
NetApp SolidFire, Enterprise SDS & HCI Storage Node (Element Software) is affected only when the “Virtual Volumes (vVols)” feature is enabled on the cluster.

Connect to the Cloud Manager command line using SSH. 2. Run "sudo -s". 3. Navigate to the app.conf location - note that the file could be in varying locations per Cloud Manager version. Use “find . -name app.conf” to locate it. 4. Create a backup of the app.conf file. 5. Edit the app.conf file and change the "auto-upgrade" flag from "false" to "true". 6. Save the file and then restart the Cloud Manager instance. 7. Once the instance is back up visit the Cloud Manager UI to confirm that the version is now 3.9.13 build3 or higher. |
