CVE-2024-37125Network attack vector

Unauthenticated service interruption via crafted ingress packets

Published Sep 26, 2024 · Updated Sep 26, 2024

Resource exhaustion in Dell SmartFabric OS10 10.5.3.x through 10.5.6.x allows remote attackers to interrupt switch service with crafted packets. An undisclosed packet-processing path consumes resources without adequate control when it handles crafted ingress packets; Dell has not identified the affected protocol or component. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the reported consequence is availability loss; Dell does not specify whether the switch hangs, crashes, or reboots.
