Impact
A buffer copy without size checking in the NFS/RPC service of Dell PowerStore systems allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access to overwrite memory, potentially leading to arbitrary command execution or service disruption. The type of weakness is a classic buffer overflow (CWE‑120). The impact is the compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected PowerStore appliance.
Affected Systems
Dell PowerStore models 1000T, 1200T, 3000T, 3200Q, 3200T, 5000T, 500T, 5200Q, 5200T, 7000T, 9000T, 9200T are affected according to the vendor advisory. Exact firmware or software release information is not specified, so all current releases of these models are potentially vulnerable.
Risk and Exploitability
The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.1, indicating high severity. EPSS is not available, so exploitation likelihood is uncertain, and it is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is remote over the network, requiring no authentication. An attacker can trigger the buffer overwrite by sending a crafted NFS/RPC request, after which they may execute arbitrary code or crash the service.
