CVE-2024-29955

Encryption-key disclosure via PostgreSQL startup logging

Published Apr 17, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Information disclosure in Brocade SANnav before 2.3.1 and 2.3.0a allows local users to obtain an encrypted key from startup logs. A privileged action causes the SANnav encrypted key to be written to PostgreSQL startup logs, creating a less-protected copy of the key. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and user interaction; exposure is limited to confidentiality of the logged encryption key.
