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.

A segmentation fault can occur in Brocade Fabric OS after Brocade Fabric OS v9.0 and before Brocade Fabric OS v9.2.0a through the passwdcfg command. This could allow an authenticated privileged user local user to crash a Brocade Fabric OS swith using the cli “passwdcfg --set -expire -minDiff“.

The firmwaredownload command on Brocade Fabric OS v9.2.0 could log the FTP/SFTP/SCP server password in clear text in the SupportSave file when performing a downgrade from Fabric OS v9.2.0 to any earlier version of Fabric OS.

An information disclosure in the web interface of Brocade Fabric OS versions before Brocade Fabric OS v9.2.0 and v9.1.1c, could allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to get technical details about the web interface.

System files could be overwritten using the less command in Brocade Fabric OS before Brocade Fabric OS v9.1.1c and v9.2.0.

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Brocade Webtools PortSetting.html of Brocade Fabric OS version before Brocade Fabric OS v9.2.0 that could allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in a target user’s session with the Brocade Webtools application.

Through manipulation of passwords or other variables, using commands such as portcfgupload, configupload, license, myid, a non-privileged user could obtain root privileges in Brocade Fabric OS versions before Brocade Fabric OS v9.1.1c and v9.2.0.

A buffer overflow vulnerability in “diagstatus” command in Brocade Fabric OS before Brocade Fabric v9.2.0 and v9.1.1c could allow an authenticated user to crash the Brocade Fabric OS switch leading to a denial of service.

A buffer overflow vulnerability in “secpolicydelete” command in Brocade Fabric OS before Brocade Fabric OS v9.1.1c and v9.2.0 could allow an authenticated privileged user to crash the Brocade Fabric OS switch leading to a denial of service.
