Limited information disclosure via SyncIQ permission preservation
Published Aug 22, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
Improper permission preservation in Dell PowerScale OneFS 9.2.0 through 9.3.0.5 allows local users to obtain limited information via SyncIQ. SyncIQ fails to preserve intended filesystem permissions on dataset parent directories, exposing data to a low-privileged local attacker. Exploitation requires local access to the cluster and a permission configuration that places SyncIQ datasets under improperly protected parent directories; the documented consequence is limited confidentiality loss without integrity or availability impact.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
