4.4.3.64 SP1

Fixed Vulnerability: Paramiko vulnerability (CVE-2018-1000805)

Symptoms: SEP sesam uses Paramiko for the SM_SSH access mode. Paramiko contains an incorrect access control vulnerability in SSH server that can result in Remote Code Execution (RCE).

Cause: Paramiko versions 2.4.1, 2.3.2, 2.2.3, 2.1.5, 2.0.8, 1.18.5, 1.17.6. contain an incorrect access control vulnerability in SSH server that can result in RCE. This attack appears to be exploitable via network connectivity. The vendor has confirmed the vulnerability and fixed the security flaw. This issue is listed as CVE-2018-1000805 in the MITRE CVE dictionary and in the NIST NVD.

Installation

BUGFIX: (#24586) Problem: GUI package on Windows 32 Bit system fails due to Java 64 Bit check. Solution: On a Windows 32 Bit system Java 32 Bit is now accepted.

GUI

BUGFIX: (#24384) Changing the saveset EOL of the source of a migrated saveset doesn't work right. Problem: When changing the saveset-EOL of the migrated saveset, the saveset-EOL of the original saveset will also be changed.

SBC

BUGFIX: (#24388) Micro Focus restore of a migrated DIFF backup could fail with 'System detected error, operation aborted'.

Kernel

BUGFIX: (#24443) Restore fails if no data from first tape is read.
BUGFIX: (#24434) Positioning the tape takes too long - restore timed out after 1 hour.
BUGFIX: (#19267) XEN: restore does not work if original VM exists and is renamed
BUGFIX: (#19889) Backup of Citrix XEN can fail, but is reported as successful.
BUGFIX: (#24580) CBT restore of Citrix XEN host gets stuck in queue when stream limit is set to 1.
BUGFIX: (#23416) Selective Restore from migrated NDMP saveset failed with 'Cannot find matching LIS line for item'.
BUGFIX: (#24367) The BSR PRO backup-log is partially decoded incorrectly. Problem: Since version 3.3.185 (12.3.185) the output is not longer UTF16 encoded.

4.4.3.62

Fixed Vulnerability: Paramiko authentication bypass in the SSH Server (CVE-2018-7750)

Symptoms: SEP sesam uses the SSH implementation Paramiko for the SM_SSH access mode. A vulnerability in Paramiko transport.py could allow unauthorized access to SEP sesam.

Cause: transport.py in the SSH server implementation of Paramiko does not properly check whether authentication is completed before processing other requests. By using a customized SSH client, an attacker can skip the authentication step and gain unauthorized access to resources on the SEP sesam system. The vendor has confirmed the vulnerability and fixed the security flaw in Paramiko. This issue is listed as CVE-2018-7750 in the MITRE CVE dictionary and in the NIST NVD.
