Dell PowerScale OneFS, 8.2.2.x through 9.6.0.x, contains an improper control of a resource through its lifetime vulnerability. An unauthenticated network attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to denial of service.

Weakness

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

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Powerscale_onefs Dell 8.2.2 (including) 9.6.1 (including)

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.”
