CVE-2026-87665

Remote Buffer Overflow in Brocade Fabric OS IKEv2 Handler Causes Data‑Plane Crash

Published Oct 8, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 6 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Internet Key Exchange (IKEv2) protocol handler on Brocade Fabric OS versions before 10.0.1. The vulnerability occurs when processing initial IKE key exchange requests on extension switches or blades running IPsec-enabled Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) circuits. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a single, specifically crafted UDP packet (Port 500) containing an oversized Nonce payload. Successful exploitation results in a denial of service (data-plane process crash)
