CVE-2024-37132
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 · uneditedDell PowerScale OneFS versions 8.2.2.x through 9.8.0.0 contain an incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability. A high privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Denial of service and Elevation of privileges.
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 confidenceDell PowerScale OneFS versions 8.2.2.x through 9.8.0.0 contains an incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability where a high-privileged local attacker can exploit misconfigured privilege settings to escalate privileges and cause denial of service. The vulnerability stems from improper assignment or validation of user/system privileges in the OneFS operating system.

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 OneFS version via CLIRun `isi version` or `isi status` from the OneFS command line to obtain the exact firmware version installed.Affected if Version is 9.8.0.0, or between 8.2.2 and 9.5.1.0 exclusive, or between 9.6.0 and 9.7.1.0 exclusive.
-
Check RBAC role configurationsRun `isi auth roles list` to enumerate all defined roles and their permissions. Review each role's privilege set.Affected if Any role contains misassigned or excessive privileges that deviate from the principle of least privilege.
-
Review user-to-role mappingsRun `isi auth users list` and cross-reference with `isi auth roles list` to identify which users are assigned to high-privilege roles.Affected if Users with lower trust levels are assigned to roles with elevated privileges, or administrative users have more permissions than required.
-
Inspect custom privilege definitionsCheck for any custom privilege entries via `isi auth privileges` or review /etc/ifs/privileges/ custom definitions if accessible.Affected if Non-standard or manually defined privileges exist that may be incorrectly assigned.
-
Audit recent privilege changesReview audit logs for changes to RBAC configurations using `isi audit` or check /var/log/ messages for privilege-related modifications.Affected if Recent changes to role or privilege configurations are present, especially modifications made by high-privileged accounts.
You are affected if your OneFS version falls within 8.2.2 to 9.5.1.0, 9.6.0 to 9.7.1.0, or equals 9.8.0.0 AND you have RBAC configurations with potentially misassigned privileges.

From vendor data9.5.1.09.7.1.0
Upgrade Dell PowerScale OneFS to a version beyond 9.8.0.0 following Dell's published security advisory, and review user privilege configurations to ensure proper role-based access control settings.
