Technical description

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the configuration management subsystem of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. When performing a configuration download operation, the management daemon will relay configuration parameters, user-supplied relay host strings, and filenames directly to an internal utility script without sufficient character set validation. Because the local utility fails to sanitize shell metacharacters before processing them in a system shell command, a malicious or compromised configuration file can cause arbitrary operating system commands to be executed on a remote local switch when an administrator initiates a configuration download.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from broadcom. Update fabric_operating_system 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.
