Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Sun-Brocade SilkWorm switches versions prior to 20070516

Description The issue arises from the embedded Linux kernel's improper handling of a situation where a non-root user creates a kernel process. This allows attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an "oops" and device reboot, via unspecified vectors.

Recommendations For versions prior to 20070516, consider updating to a version released after 20070516 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict non-root user access to kernel process creation to minimize the risk of exploitation.
