Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3882)

The vulnerability allows an unauthenticated, Layer 2–adjacent attacker to cause DoS condition or execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The weakness exists due to buffer overflow caused by incomplete range checks of the UPnP input data. An attacker can send a malicious request to the UPnP listening port, trigger memory corruption, cause the device to reload or potentially execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
