QNAP Warns of Critical Netatalk Vulnerabilities - Threatwire

By Shannon Morse, ThreatWire

If you have a network attached storage device from Synology or QNAP, listen up, this story is for you.

Synology  and QNAP are warning users that the critical Netatalk vulnerabilities  can be exploited to allow remote attackers to access sensitive  information and execute arbitrary code. This affects some versions of  the Synology DiskStation Manager or DSM, as well as the Synology Router  Manager or SRM.

For QNAP this affects several versions of their QTS systems.

Netatalk  is an Apple Filing Protocol that allows for NIX or BSD systems to also  work with AppleShare file servers via an open source implementation for  MacOS clients. The issue was fixed in Netatlk version 3.1.1.

Synology  is in the process of releasing patches for DSM, but if you’re on DSM  7.1 or later, patches are already released. QNAP is working on  mitigation, but for the time being recommends disabling AFP on affected  machines. The flaw is tracked as CVE-2022-23121, with a high severity  score, but isn’t the only flaw that Synology and QNAP have responded to.  Three others, including CVE-2022- 23125, 23122, and 0194 also allow for  arbitrary code execution.
