Kemp LoadMaster (LMOS): A flaw in session management lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker bypass the LoadMaster's

CVE-2018-9091Control plane, storage & DevOpscurated

Impact

A flaw in session management lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker bypass the LoadMaster's security protections entirely and run elevated shell commands (ls, ps, cat, etc.) — enough to pull certificates, private keys, and other sensitive data off the load balancer.

Who can reach it

Fully remote and unauthenticated against the LoadMaster's management interface.

What to do

Software upgrade to LMOS 7.1.35.5 (LTS) or 7.2.41.2+ (mainline) per Kemp's mitigation article. Upgrade and reboot; if this LoadMaster fronts live inference traffic, fail over to a standby instance during the update. Also rotate any certificates/keys that were on the device, since the bug allowed reading them.
