CVE-2016-8204: A Directory Traversal vulnerability in FileReceiveServlet in the Brocade Network Advisor versions released...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-8204 affects Brocade Network Advisor versions up to and including 14.0.2. A directory traversal flaw in FileReceiveServlet could let a remote attacker place a malicious file somewhere it may execute. For exposed management systems, this can create serious compromise risk. Exposure is most likely where Brocade Network Advisor up to 14.0.2 is deployed and reachable by untrusted networks. Internet-exposed or broadly accessible management interfaces should be prioritized. The bundle does not identify other affected products. Treat this as a priority issue for network-management environments. The business concern is not broad endpoint exposure, but compromise of infrastructure management software, which can affect operational visibility and control. Act quickly if the service is externally reachable or manages critical environments. Mitigation focus: Inventory Brocade Network Advisor deployments and identify versions up to 14.0.2.; Review Broadcom and HPE advisories for supported fixed versions or vendor workarounds.; Restrict network access to Brocade Network Advisor management interfaces..
