Dell PowerScale OneFS versions 8.2.x-9.4.x contain an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability. A malicious network user with low privileges could potentially exploit this vulnerability in SMB, leading to a potential denial of service.

Weakness

The product does not maintain or incorrectly maintains control over a resource throughout its lifetime of creation, use, and release.

Extended Description

Resources often have explicit instructions on how to be created, used and destroyed. When code does not follow these instructions, it can lead to unexpected behaviors and potentially exploitable states. Even without explicit instructions, various principles are expected to be adhered to, such as “Do not use an object until after its creation is complete,” or “do not use an object after it has been slated for destruction.”
