Summary

A critical authorization bypass vulnerability exists in the Management Server handling of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 10.0.1. A compromised switch connected to the fabric can transmit crafted inband Fibre Channel vendor-unique CT (Common Transport) management requests to bypass administrative authentication. Successful exploitation allows an unauthorized peer switch to execute administrative actions on the target device, including resetting administrative passwords, initiating system reboots, and triggering firmware downloads.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes the possibility of full device compromise by an unauthorized switch, potentially leading to system integrity, confidentiality, and availability compromise.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade Brocade Fabric OS to version 10.0.1 or later and monitor Fibre Channel traffic for unusual management requests.
