What is CVE-2016-1543?

The RPC API in the RSCD agent of BMC BladeLogic Server Automation versions 8.2.x through 8.7.x on Linux and UNIX platforms is susceptible to an issue where remote attackers can exploit authorization bypass vulnerabilities. By sending specially crafted action packets to the XML-RPC interface after an authorization failure, attackers may reset arbitrary user passwords, thereby compromising system integrity and security. It is crucial for users of affected versions to implement mitigations and apply patches promptly to safeguard their environments.
