A vulnerability in Brocade Fabric OS before 9.2.1c2 could allow an authenticated attacker with admin privileges using the shell commands “source, ping6, sleep, disown, wait to modify the path variables and move upwards in the directory structure or to traverse to different directories.

A vulnerability in Brocade Fabric OS before 9.2.1c3 could allow elevating the privileges of the local authenticated user to “root” using the export option of seccertmgmt and seccryptocfg commands.

A vulnerability in Brocade Fabric OS before 9.2.1 could allow an authenticated attacker with admin privileges using the shell command “grep” to modify the path variables and move upwards in the directory structure or to traverse to different directories.

A vulnerability in Brocade Fabric OS could allow an authenticated, local attacker with privileges to access the Bash shell to access insecurely stored file contents including the history command.

Brocade Fabric OS before 9.2.1 has a vulnerability that could allow a local authenticated attacker to reveal command line passwords using commands that may expose higher privilege sensitive information by a lower privileged user.

A vulnerability in Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.1c2 could allow an administrator-level user to execute the bind command, to escalate privileges and bypass security controls allowing the execution of arbitrary commands.

A vulnerability in the secure configuration of authentication and management services in Brocade Fabric OS before Fabric OS 9.2.1c2 could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with administrative credentials to execute arbitrary commands as root using “supportsave”, “seccertmgmt”, “configupload” command.

An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in Brocade Fabric OS before 9.2.2.a could allow an authenticated, network-based attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS). The vulnerability is encountered when supportsave is invoked remotely, using ssh command or SANnav inline ssh, and the corresponding ssh session is terminated with Control C (^c ) before supportsave completion. This issue affects Brocade Fabric OS 9.0.0 through 9.2.2

A path transversal vulnerability in Brocade Fabric OS 9.1.0 through 9.2.2 could allow a local admin user to gain access to files outside the intended directory potentially leading to the disclosure of sensitive information.

Note: Admin level privilege is required on the switch in order to exploit

Broadcom Brocade Fabric OS contains a code injection vulnerability that allows a local user with administrative privileges to execute arbitrary code with full root privileges.

Implementation of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) operating on the Brocade 6547 (FC5022) embedded switch blade, makes internal script calls to system.sh from within the SNMP binary. An authenticated attacker could perform command or parameter injection on SNMP operations that are only enabled on the Brocade 6547 (FC5022) embedded switch. This injection could allow the authenticated attacker to issue commands as Root.

If Brocade Fabric OS before Fabric OS 9.2.0 configuration settings are not set to encrypt SNMP passwords, then the SNMP privsecret / authsecret fields can be exposed in plaintext. The plaintext passwords can be exposed in a configupload capture or a supportsave capture if encryption of passwords is not enabled. An attacker can use these passwords to fetch values of the supported OIDs via SNMPv3 queries. There are also a limited number of MIB objects that can be modified.

A command injection vulnerability in Brocade Fabric OS before 9.2.0c, and 9.2.1 through 9.2.1a on IP extension platforms could allow a local authenticated attacker to perform a privileged escalation via crafted use of the portcfg command.

This specific exploitation is only possible on IP Extension platforms: Brocade 7810, Brocade 7840, Brocade 7850 and on Brocade X6 or X7 directors with an SX-6 Extension blade installed. The attacker must be logged into the switch via SSH or serial console to conduct the attack.

Brocade Fabric OS versions before 8.2.3e2, versions 9.0.0 through 9.2.0c, and 9.2.1 through 9.2.1a can capture the SFTP/FTP server password used for a firmware download operation initiated by SANnav or through WebEM in a weblinker core dump that is later captured via supportsave.

A vulnerability in Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2 could allow man-in-the-middle attackers to conduct remote Service Session Hijacking that may arise from the attacker's ability to forge an SSH key while the Brocade Fabric OS Switch is performing various remote operations initiated by a switch admin.

A vulnerability in the default configuration of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) feature of Brocade Fabric OS versions before v9.0.0 could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to read data from an affected device via SNMP. The vulnerability is due to hard-coded, default community string in the configuration file for the SNMP daemon. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using the static community string in SNMP version 1 queries to an affected device.

A vulnerability in a password management API in Brocade Fabric OS versions before v9.2.1, v9.2.0b, v9.1.1d, and v8.2.3e prints sensitive information in log files. This could allow an authenticated user to view the server passwords for protocols such as scp and sftp.

Detail. When the firmwaredownload command is incorrectly entered or points to an erroneous file, the firmware download log captures the failed command, including any password entered in the command line.

A vulnerability in the web interface in Brocade Fabric OS before v9.2.1, v9.2.0b, and v9.1.1d prints encoded session passwords on session storage for Virtual Fabric platforms. This could allow an authenticated user to view other users' session encoded passwords.

Brocade Web Interface in Brocade Fabric OS v9.x and before v9.2.0 does not properly represent the portName to the user if the portName contains reserved characters. This could allow an authenticated user to alter the UI of the Brocade Switch and change ports display.

Remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Brocade Fabric OS after v9.0 and before v9.2.0 could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code and use this to gain root access to the Brocade switch.

Accounts. The issue was addressed with improved checks.

Accounts. The issue was addressed with improved checks.

A fundamental design flaw within the RADIUS protocol has been proven to be exploitable, compromising the integrity in the RADIUS Access-Request process. The attack allows a malicious user to modify packets in a way that would be indistinguishable to a RADIUS client or server. To be successful, the attacker must have the ability to inject themselves between the client and server.

Brocade Fabric OS (FOS) hardware platforms running any version of Brocade Fabric OS software, which supports the license string format; contain cryptographic issues that could allow for the installation of forged or fraudulent license keys. This would allow attackers or a malicious party to forge a counterfeit license key that the Brocade Fabric OS platform would authenticate and activate as if it were a legitimate license key.

A segmentation fault can occur in Brocade Fabric OS after Brocade Fabric OS v9.0 and before Brocade Fabric OS v9.2.0a through the passwdcfg command. This could allow an authenticated privileged user local user to crash a Brocade Fabric OS swith using the cli “passwdcfg --set -expire -minDiff“.

In Brocade Fabric OS before v9.2.0a, a local authenticated privileged user can trigger a buffer overflow condition, leading to a kernel panic with large input to buffers in the portcfgfportbuffers command.

The firmwaredownload command on Brocade Fabric OS v9.2.0 could log the FTP/SFTP/SCP server password in clear text in the SupportSave file when performing a downgrade from Fabric OS v9.2.0 to any earlier version of Fabric OS.

Brocade Fabric OS versions before Brocade Fabric OS v9.1.1c, and v9.2.0 Could allow an authenticated, local user with knowledge of full path names inside Brocade Fabric OS to execute any command regardless of assigned privilege. Starting with Fabric OS v9.1.0, “root” account access is disabled.

The Brocade Fabric OS Commands “configupload” and “configdownload” before Brocade Fabric OS v9.1.1c, v8.2.3d, v9.2.0 print scp, sftp, ftp servers passwords in supportsave. This could allow a remote authenticated attacker to access sensitive information.

A vulnerability in the fosexec command of Brocade Fabric OS after Brocade Fabric OS v9.1.0 and, before Brocade Fabric OS v9.1.1 could allow a local authenticated user to perform privilege escalation to root by breaking the rbash shell. Starting with Fabric OS v9.1.0, “root” account access is disabled.
