Affected Products & Remediation

Affected products:
  • Dell EMC iDRAC7 versions prior to 2.65.65.65
  • Dell EMC iDRAC8 versions prior to 2.70.70.70
  • Dell EMC iDRAC9 versions prior to 3.36.36.36
Resolution:      
The following Dell EMC iDRAC firmware releases contain resolutions to these vulnerabilities:
 
iDRAC iDRAC firmware version
iDRAC9 3.36.36.36
3.40.40.40
iDRAC8  2.70.70.70
iDRAC7  2.65.65.65

Dell EMC recommends all customers upgrade at the earliest opportunity.  

Dell EMC Best Practices regarding iDRAC:
In addition to maintaining up-to-date iDRAC firmware, Dell EMC also advises the following:
  • iDRACs are not designed nor intended to be placed on or connected to the internet; they are intended to be on a separate management network. Placing or connecting iDRACs directly to the internet could expose the connected system to security and other risks for which Dell EMC is not responsible.   
  • Along with locating iDRACs on a separate management subnet, users should isolate the management subnet/VLAN with technologies such as firewalls, and limit access to the subnet/VLAN to authorized server administrators.
  • Dell EMC recommends that customers take into account any deployment factors that may be relevant to their environment to assess their overall risk.
