CVE-2023-45085 (GCVE-0-2023-45085)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-12-05 16:15 – Updated: 2024-08-02 20:14
VLAI
Title
When compute hosts are disabled and reenabled, they immediately transition to "ON", not "INIT"
Summary
An issue exists in SoftIron HyperCloud where compute nodes may come online immediately without following the correct initialization process.  In this instance, workloads may be scheduled on these nodes and deploy to a failed or erroneous state, which impacts the availability of these workloads that may be deployed during this time window. This issue impacts HyperCloud versions from 2.0.0 to before 2.0.3.
Severity
3.2 (Low)

Mitigation
Implementation

Choose the safest-possible initialization for security-related resources.

Mitigation
Implementation

Ensure that each resource (whether variable, memory buffer, register, etc.) is fully initialized.

Mitigation
Implementation

Pay close attention to complex conditionals or reset sources that affect initialization, since some paths might not perform the initialization.

Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Ensure that the design and architecture clearly identify what the initialization should be, and that the initialization does not have security implications.
