Descriptions

A vulnerability in the default configuration of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) feature of Brocade Fabric OS versions before v9.0.0 could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to read data from an affected device via SNMP. The vulnerability is due to hard-coded, default community string in the configuration file for the SNMP daemon. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using the static community string in SNMP version 1 queries to an affected device.

Una vulnerabilidad en la configuración predeterminada de la función del Protocolo simple de administración de red (SNMP) de las versiones de Brocade Fabric OS anteriores a v9.0.0 podría permitir que un atacante remoto autenticado lea datos de un dispositivo afectado a través de SNMP. La vulnerabilidad se debe a una cadena de comunidad predeterminada codificada en el archivo de configuración del demonio SNMP. Un atacante podría aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad utilizando la cadena de comunidad estática en las consultas SNMP versión 1 a un dispositivo afectado.

Brocade Fabric OS versions prior to 9.2.2 suffer from 10 vulnerabilities including, but not limited to, remote code execution, information disclosure, man-in-the-middle, weak cryptography, and hardcoded key vulnerabilities.
