EMC Isilon OneFS 8.0.1.0, 8.0.0 - 8.0.0.3, 7.2.0 - 7.2.1.4, 7.1.x is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability that could potentially be exploited by attackers to compromise the affected system.

In EMC Isilon OneFS 8.1.0.0, 8.0.1.0 - 8.0.1.1, 8.0.0.0 - 8.0.0.4, 7.2.1.0 - 7.2.1.5, 7.2.0.x, and 7.1.1.x, a malicious compliance admin (compadmin) account user could exploit a vulnerability in isigetitrace or isigetprofile maintenance scripts to run any shell script as system root on a cluster in compliance mode. This could potentially lead to an elevation of privilege for the compadmin user and violate compliance mode.

EMC Isilon OneFS 7.1.x before 7.1.1.9 and 7.2.x before 7.2.1.2 allows local users to obtain root shell access by leveraging administrative privileges.
