Dell lists the vulnerable components such as Bind, OpenSsl and Pythonin a warning message. If attackers successfully utilize vulnerabilities they can cause dose state (CVE-2024-5535“critical“) or even run malicious code (CVE-2024-6345“high“), among others.

The developers state that they have resolved the security issues in DD-OS versions 7.10.1.50, 7.13.1.20 and 8.3.0.0. So far, no attacks have been reported. However, administrators should not hesitate for too long.
