Dell PowerScale OneFS 9.5.0.x through 9.7.0.x contain a covert timing channel vulnerability. A remote unauthenticated attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to denial of service.
Covert timing channels convey information by modulating some aspect of system behavior over time, so that the program receiving the information can observe system behavior and infer protected information.
https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/385.html →Open in CWE collection →An attacker initiates cross domain HTTP / GET requests and times the server responses. The timing of these responses may leak important information on what is happening on the server. Browser's same origin policy prevents the attacker from directly reading the server responses (in the absence of any other weaknesses), but does not prevent the attacker from timing the responses to requests that the attacker issued cross domain.
