CVE-2020-15383
Running security scans against the SAN switch can cause config and secnotify processes within the firmware before Brocade Fabric OS v9.0.0, v8.2.2d and v8.2.1e to consume all memory leading to denial of service impacts possibly including a switch panic.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.99%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
