HP LeftHand Virtual SAN Appliance (VSA) software is a VMware certified SAN/storage device and virtual appliance that provides complete SAN functionality for VMware Infrastructure without external SAN hardware.
HP LeftHand Virtual SAN Appliance software prior to version 10.0 is vulnerable to stack buffer overflow as a result of failure to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input. The vulnerability is in the **LHNSessionManager**
component of the hydra service, which listens on TCP port 13838. When a user attempts to log in, the process fails to properly verify the length of the username parameter before copying it to a limited size buffer. A remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code as the root user.
Upgrade HP LeftHand Virtual SAN Appliance software to version 10.0 or newer.
