CVE-2024-29967
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedIn Brocade SANnav before Brocade SANnav v2.31 and v2.3.0a, it was observed that Docker instances inside the appliance have insecure mount points, allowing reading and writing access to sensitive files. The vulnerability could allow a sudo privileged user on the host OS to read and write access to these files.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceBrocade SANnav versions prior to v2.31 and v2.3.0a ship with Docker containers that have insecure volume mount configurations. A user with sudo privileges on the host appliance can exploit these improperly secured mount points to escape container isolation and read/write to sensitive host filesystem files outside the intended container boundary.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify SANnav installationLocate the Brocade SANnav installation on the host system. Check for SANnav installation directories or the presence of SANnav-related Docker containers using 'docker ps' to list running containers with SANnav in their name or description.Affected if SANnav is installed and running as Docker containers on the appliance.
-
Determine installed SANnav versionCheck the SANnav version by accessing the management interface, examining the installation directory for version files, or running version-checking commands specific to the SANnav installation.Affected if The installed version is any version prior to v2.3.0a (including all versions below v2.31).
-
Inspect Docker volume mountsExamine Docker container volume mount configurations using 'docker inspect' on SANnav containers. Look for bind mounts that map host filesystem paths into the container, particularly those pointing to sensitive host directories.Affected if Docker containers have bind mounts that allow access to host filesystem paths outside the intended container boundary.
-
Verify mount point permissionsReview the permissions and ownership of mounted volumes inside the containers. Check if the mounted host paths are writable from within the container context.Affected if Volume mounts permit read or write access to sensitive host directories from inside the container, enabling escape beyond intended isolation boundaries.
A user is affected if SANnav versions prior to v2.3.0a are installed and the Docker containers have insecure bind mount configurations that allow container escape to the host filesystem.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2.3.0a
Upgrade to Brocade SANnav v2.31 or v2.3.0a which contains the corrected Docker mount configurations; alternatively, review and restrict Docker volume mount permissions to prevent host filesystem access from within containers.
Brocade SANnav v2.3.0a or v2.31
- 1. Back up the current Brocade SANnav configuration and data according to Broadcom documentation.
- 2. Download the fixed version of Brocade SANnav (v2.3.0a or v2.31) from the Broadcom support portal at support.broadcom.com.
- 3. Follow the standard SANnav upgrade procedure documented in the Brocade SANnav Installation and Upgrade Guide.
- 4. After upgrade, verify that Docker mount points are properly secured and sensitive files are no longer accessible from the host OS.
