Summary

The SonicWall Secure Remote Access server is affected by a Remote Command Injection vulnerability in its web administrative interface. This vulnerability is linked to the 'viewcert' CGI component that processes SSL certificate information. The flaw arises from improper escaping of the 'CERT' variable before a system call, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the affected server. Successful exploitation provides shell access under the 'nobody' user account, posing significant security risks to the system.
