Navisphere storage management software is a suite of tools that enables 
discovery, monitoring, provisioning, and reporting on EMC CLARiiON FC4700 
Storage Systems."

EMC Navisphere Manager does not properly filter incoming requests and as 
such is vulnerable to a directory traversal vulnerability.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
 * Navisphere Manager Base version 6.4.1.0.0

Immune Systems:
 * Management Server version 6.6.0.5.0
 * Management Server Base version 6.6.0.5.0
 * Windows Management Server version 6.6.0.5.0
 * Management Server version 6.5.4.0.0

Exploitation of a directory traversal vulnerability in EMC Navisphere 
Manager could allow an attacker to retrieve arbitrary files from the 
system running Navisphere Manager as well as retrieve directory listings.

The following request can be used to retrieve the Navisphere Manager log 
file, which often contains the administrative password in plain-text:
http://vulnerable/../../../../../../../EMC/NAVISPHERE/common/log/navimon.log

Another flaw allows a user to list the contents of arbitrary directories 
by simply appending a '.' to the end of a request.

Workaround:
Limit access to the Navisphere Manager server to only trusted hosts by 
limiting access to trusted users only on TCP port 80.

Vendor Status:

Management Server (r), for which an update has been issued.  In these 
updated versions, HTTP validation is implemented.  Attempts to traverse 
the file system by way of a URL (e.g., "../../..") are detected and such 
requests are rejected with the following error:
