Some vulnerabilities have been reported in EMC DiskXtender, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions or by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) The main components of the application (e.g. File System Manager, MediaStor, and License Server) contain hard-coded authentication credentials. This can be exploited by connecting and logging in through the RPC interface and gaining administrative access to the DiskXtender server.

2) A boundary error in the File System Manager component can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending an overly long, specially crafted RPC request to the b157b800-aef5-11d3-ae49-00600834c15f RPC interface.

3) A format string error in the MediaStor component can be exploited by sending a specially crafted RPC request containing format string specifiers to the b157b800-aef5-11d3-ae49-00600834c15f RPC interface.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities #2 and #3 allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 6.20.060 for Windows. Other versions may also be affected.
