Technical description

IBM System Networking G8052, G8124, G8124-E, G8124-ER, G8264, G8316, and G8264-T switches before 7.9.10.0; EN4093, EN4093R, CN4093, SI4093, EN2092, and G8264CS switches before 7.8.6.0; Flex System Interconnect Fabric before 7.8.6.0; 1G L2-7 SLB switch for Bladecenter before 21.0.21.0; 10G VFSM for Bladecenter before 7.8.14.0; 1:10G switch for Bladecenter before 7.4.8.0; 1G switch for Bladecenter before 5.3.5.0; Server Connectivity Module before 1.1.3.4; System Networking RackSwitch G8332 before 7.7.17.0; and System Networking RackSwitch G8000 before 7.1.7.0 have hardcoded credentials, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via unspecified vectors.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from ibm. Update system_networking_rackswitch__g8332_firmware to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
