Dell iDRAC Service Module 5.0.1.0 User’s Guide

The secure loading of libraries in iSM prevent the attacks such as DLL hijacking, DLL preloading, and binary planting. To secure iSM from such attacks, this feature does not:

• Load dynamic libraries from any arbitrary path.
• Load any unsigned library.

The feature performs path verification and Authenticode signature check for DLLs and shared objects. Failure event is triggered if there is DLL and shared objects authentication failure. If the authentication validation does not succeed, the respective library is not loaded and is audited in the operating system log file.
