## Affected

- Brocade Brocade SANnav: fixed in 3.0.1

## Description

A vulnerability in Brocade SANnav before 3.0.1 can have the Brocade Fabric OS switch admin password captured in plaintext within a memory swap file on the server hosting the Brocade SANnav Virtual Machine (VM). This can happen when the SANnav server encounters an Out Of Memory (OOM) condition. The vulnerability could allow an authenticated admin user with access to the server hosting the SANnav to potentially view the memory swap file and access the password(s).
