Summary

Implementation of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) operating on the Brocade 6547 (FC5022) embedded switch blade, makes internal script calls to system.sh from within the SNMP binary. An authenticated attacker could perform command or parameter injection on SNMP operations that are only enabled on the Brocade 6547 (FC5022) embedded switch. This injection could allow the authenticated attacker to issue commands as Root.
