What the vulnerability does

01Description

A vulnerability in the default configuration of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) feature of Brocade Fabric OS versions before v9.0.0 could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to read data from an affected device via SNMP. The vulnerability is due to hard-coded, default community string in the configuration file for the SNMP daemon. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using the static community string in SNMP version 1 queries to an affected device.
