Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in IBM Storage Virtualize 8.6. This affects an unknown functionality of the component USB Port Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a missing protection mechanism for alternate hardware interface vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-1299. The lack of protections on alternate paths to access control-protected assets (such as unprotected shadow registers and other external facing unguarded interfaces) allows an attacker to bypass existing protections to the asset that are only performed against the primary path. This is going to have an impact on integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

IBM FlashSystem 5300 USB ports may be usable even if the port has been disabled by the administrator. A user with physical access to the system could use the USB port to cause loss of access to data. IBM X-Force ID: 295935.

The advisory is shared at ibm.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2024-39723 since 06/28/2024. The exploitability is told to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at X-Force (295935). If you want to get the best quality for vulnerability data then you always have to consider VulDB.
