Summary

Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1 contain an authentication bypass and command injection flaw in the inter-switch remote execution service. The receiving switch processes remote command IPC frames at an elevated level without verifying transmitted parameters, which is a spoofing-based authentication bypass (CWE-290). An attacker with high privileges on one fabric-connected switch can escalate privileges and run arbitrary root commands locally or on other fabric members where remote execution is enabled.

Description from the CNA

An authentication bypass and command injection vulnerability exists in the inter-switch remote execution service of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. When processing remote command execution IPC frames across the fabric, the receiving switch processes these commands at an elevated processing level without proper verification of transmitted parameters. This allows an attacker on a single fabric-connected switch to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary root commands locally or across other managed fabric members where remote execution functionality is enabled.
