EMC Documentum Content Server Privilege Escalation

EMC Documentum Content Server includes a privilege escalation vulnerability that could potentially be exploited by malicious, regular users to perform certain actions as the superuser. Unprivileged Content Server users may potentially escalate their privileges to become a superuser by creating and performing malicious operations on dm_job objects. This is due to improper authorization checks being performed on such objects and some of their attributes. The previous fix for CVE-2014-4626 was incomplete. Versions 7.2 and below are affected.
