CVE-2021-21539
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.1)—
Dell EMC iDRAC9 versions prior to 4.40.00.00 contain a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition vulnerability. A remote authenticated attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges when a user with higher privileges is simultaneously accessing iDRAC through the web interface.
