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 · unedited
Dell PowerScale OneFS versions 8.2.2.x through 9.9.0.0 contain an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability. A remote low privileged attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to denial of service.

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 confidence

Dell PowerScale OneFS versions 8.2.2.x through 9.9.0.0 contain an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability. A remote low-privileged attacker could exploit this by exhausting system resources, leading to denial of service.

MitigationApply the vendor-supplied security patch for Dell PowerScale OneFS. Contact Dell Support for the specific patched version and update all affected systems.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify PowerScale OneFS version
    Run the command 'isi version' or 'isi status' on the PowerScale CLI to retrieve the installed OneFS version number
    Affected if The version displayed matches any of the affected ranges: 9.5.0.0 through 9.5.1.1, 9.8.0.0 through 9.9.0.0, 8.2.2.0 through 9.7.1.2, or 9.4.0 through 9.4.0.19
  2. Verify the full version string
    Run 'isi get version' or check the System Management UI under About > Version to confirm the complete version including build number
    Affected if The version falls within the vulnerable ranges as specified above
  3. Check system resource status
    Use 'isi status -d' or the OneFS web UI dashboard to observe CPU, memory, and network utilization patterns for abnormal consumption
    Affected if Unusually high resource consumption is observed without an explanatory workload cause, potentially indicating exploitation
  4. Review authentication logs for low-privilege activity
    Examine OneFS audit logs under /var/log/audit/ or via the Security > Audit Logs UI for repeated authentication attempts from low-privilege accounts
    Affected if There is evidence of many failed or successful requests from low-privileged users that correlate with resource exhaustion symptoms

A system is affected if it runs any Dell PowerScale OneFS version within the ranges 9.5.0.0-9.5.1.1, 9.8.0.0-9.9.0.0, 8.2.2.0-9.7.1.2, or 9.4.0-9.4.0.19 and exhibits unexplained resource exhaustion.

Interim mitigation

Apply the vendor-supplied security patch for Dell PowerScale OneFS. Contact Dell Support for the specific patched version and update all affected systems.

Recommended fix High confidence

9.4.0.20, 9.5.1.2, 9.7.1.3, or 9.9.0.1 depending on current branch

  1. 1. Identify the current OneFS version by running 'isi version' or checking the cluster management UI
  2. 2. Based on current version, determine the minimum fixed release needed: for 9.4.x upgrade to 9.4.0.20+, for 8.2.2.x-9.5.x upgrade to 9.5.1.2+, for 9.6.x-9.7.x upgrade to 9.7.1.3+, for 9.8.x-9.9.0.0 upgrade to 9.9.0.1+
  3. 3. Download the corresponding OneFS patch from Dell Support (www.dell.com/powerscale) under Drivers & Downloads
  4. 4. Create a backup or snapshot of the cluster before applying the update
  5. 5. Apply the update via the OneFS web UI under Cluster Management > Updates, or via CLI using 'isi upgrade' command
  6. 6. Verify the upgrade completed successfully and the new version is running
Caveat Review Dell OneFS upgrade guide for any prerequisites and ensure cluster is in healthy state before upgrading
