Summary

Brocade Fabric OS versions before 10.0.1 contain a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) in the security library. When the system parses an uploaded X.509 PEM certificate for management display, it does not check the length of the Authority Key Identifier (AKI) extension before copying string tokens into an internal stack buffer. An authenticated user with administrative privileges to import custom certificates can upload one with an oversized AKI extension, which crashes the management daemon and causes a denial of service. CVSS 4.0 rates the base score 6.9 (MEDIUM); CISA's SSVC data rates exploitation as none, and the vulnerability is not in CISA's KEV catalog.

Description from the CNA

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the security library component of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 10.0.1. When parsing uploaded X.509 PEM certificates for management display, the system improperly validates the length of the Authority Key Identifier (AKI) extension before copying string tokens into an internal memory buffer. An authenticated user with administrative privileges to import custom certificates can supply a certificate containing an intentionally oversized AKI extension. When the system processes or renders the certificate attributes, this can trigger a stack memory corruption leading to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition by crashing the management daemon.
