Per its scoring, it can be exploited over the network, without authentication, without any user interaction. The scored impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability is the highest available.
Vulnerability description
The SMB service in EMC VNXe (VNXe3200 Operating Environment prior to 3.1.5.8711957 and VNXe3100/3150/3300 Operating Environment prior to 2.4.4.22638), VNX1 File OE before 7.1.80.3, VNX2 File OE before 8.1.9.155, and Celerra (all supported versions) does not prevent duplicate NTLM challenge-response nonces, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, or read or write to files, via a series of authentication requests, a related issue to CVE-2010-0231.
