The command ipfilter in Brocade Fabric OS before Brocade Fabric OS v.9.0.1a, v8.2.3, and v8.2.0_CBN4, and v7.4.2h uses unsafe string function to process user input. Authenticated attackers can abuse this vulnerability to exploit stack-based buffer overflows, allowing execution of arbitrary code as the root user account.
AnalysisAI
The command ipfilter in Brocade Fabric OS before Brocade Fabric OS v.9.0.1a, v8.2.3, and v8.2.0_CBN4, and v7.4.2h uses unsafe string function to process user input. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.8), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787), which allows attackers to write data beyond allocated buffer boundaries leading to code execution or crashes. The command ipfilter in Brocade Fabric OS before Brocade Fabric OS v.9.0.1a, v8.2.3, and v8.2.0_CBN4, and v7.4.2h uses unsafe string function to process user input. Authenticated attackers can abuse this vulnerability to exploit stack-based buffer overflows, allowing execution of arbitrary code as the root user account. Affected products include: Broadcom Fabric Operating System.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Validate write boundaries, use memory-safe languages, enable compiler protections (ASLR, stack canaries).
