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.

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.

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.

Brocade Fabric OS before Brocade Fabric OS v9.1.1c, v9.2.0 contains a vulnerability when using various commands such as “chassisdistribute”, “reboot”, “rasman”, errmoduleshow, errfilterset, hassiscfgperrthreshold, supportshowcfgdisable and supportshowcfgenable commands that can cause the content of shell interpreted variables to be printed in the terminal.

Several commands in Brocade Fabric OS before Brocade Fabric OS v.9.0.1e, and v9.1.0 use unsafe string functions to process user input. Authenticated local attackers could abuse these vulnerabilities to exploit stack-based buffer overflows, allowing arbitrary code execution as the root user account.

A vulnerability in Brocade Fabric OS CLI before Brocade Fabric OS v9.1.0, 9.0.1e, 8.2.3c, and 7.4.2j could allow a local authenticated user to break out of restricted shells with “set context” and escalate privileges.

A vulnerability in the radius authentication system of Brocade Fabric OS before Brocade Fabric OS 9.0 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the Brocade switch.

Brocade Fabric OS Web Application services before Brocade Fabric v9.1.0, v9.0.1e, v8.2.3c, v7.4.2j store server and user passwords in the debug statements. This could allow a local user to extract the passwords from a debug file.

The Web application of Brocade Fabric OS before versions Brocade Fabric OS v9.0.1a and v8.2.3a contains debug statements that expose sensitive information to the program's standard output device. An attacker who has compromised the FOS system may utilize this weakness to capture sensitive information, such as user credentials.

Brocade Fabric OS before Brocade Fabric OS v8.2.1c, v8.1.2h, and all versions of Brocade Fabric OS v8.0.x and v7.x contain documented hard-coded credentials, which could allow attackers to gain access to the system.

Running security scans against the SAN switch can cause config and secnotify processes within the firmware before Brocade Fabric OS v9.0.0, v8.2.2d and v8.2.1e to consume all memory leading to denial of service impacts possibly including a switch panic.

Host Header Injection vulnerability in the http management interface in Brocade Fabric OS versions before v9.0.0 could allow a remote attacker to exploit this vulnerability by injecting arbitrary HTTP headers

A vulnerability in the management interface in Brocade Fabric OS Versions before Brocade Fabric OS v9.0.0 could allow a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack on the vulnerable host.
