CVE-2024-7516

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Brocade Fabric OS versions prior to 9.2.2

Description: The issue is related to weaknesses in the authentication procedure of Brocade Fabric OS, allowing a remote attacker to hijack a service session. This could be achieved through man-in-the-middle attacks, potentially enabling the attacker to forge an SSH key while the switch is performing remote operations initiated by an administrator.

Recommendations: For Brocade Fabric OS versions prior to 9.2.2, update to version 9.2.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting remote access to the switch and limiting the use of SSH keys to minimize the risk of exploitation.
