Unauthenticated command execution via stack buffer overflow
Published Apr 22, 2026 · Updated Apr 22, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Dell PowerProtect Data Domain DD OS allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands without authentication. Dell identifies the flaw only as a stack-based buffer overflow and does not disclose the affected service, request field, or unsafe copy operation. Network reachability is required, and successful exploitation can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the appliance.
