Summary

Brocade Fabric OS versions before 10.0.1 contain multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the REST API management component. The REST API service does not validate incoming array counts and string lengths against internal buffer capacities when processing request payloads. An authenticated attacker with REST API access can send crafted, oversized request parameters to corrupt the stack, which can crash the daemon or potentially execute arbitrary code within the management process. This is tracked as CWE-121.

Description from the CNA

Multiple stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in the REST API management component of Brocade Fabric OS versions prior to 10.0.1. When processing API request payloads (such as device configuration attributes or port mapping requests) the REST API service fails to properly validate incoming array counts and string lengths against internal buffer capacities. An authenticated attacker with REST API access can transmit crafted, oversized request parameters to induce memory corruption on the execution stack. This may result in a denial-of-service condition (daemon crash) or potential arbitrary code execution within the management process context.
