Information disclosure in NetApp SANtricity OS before 11.70.1 allows remote authenticated users to obtain information through error messages. NetApp has not disclosed which controller component places sensitive information in error messages or which request triggers the response. Low-privileged network access is required, and the disclosed information can aid construction of more complex attacks without altering data or interrupting service.
