CVE-2014-4623: Emc Avamar

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 1.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

EMC Avamar 6.0.x, 6.1.x, and 7.0.x in Avamar Data Store (ADS) GEN4(S) and Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE), when Password Hardening before 2.0.0.4 is enabled, uses UNIX DES crypt for password hashing, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain cleartext passwords via a brute-force attack.

Affected products

• Emc Avamar: version 6.0.1 only; version 6.0.2 only; version 6.0.3 only; version 6.1 only; version 6.1.101-87 only; version 7.0 only
