Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27395)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the DDNS client functionality. A remote attacker can perform a man-in-the-middle attack, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


2) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-22325)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the dynamic DNS (DDNS) client function. A remote attacker can perform a man-in-the-middle attack, trigger integer overflow and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


3) Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32275)

The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the system.

The vulnerability exists due to exposure of resource to wrong sphere. A local administrator can obtain the starting address of a heap region.


4) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27516)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions. A remote attacker can make an administrative connection if the remote administration feature is accidentally enabled without the password being set.


5) Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32634)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to using insecure protocols. A remote attacker can perform a man-in-the-middle attack on communication between the administrator and the VPN Client process.


6) Use of uninitialized resource (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31192)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of uninitialized resources. A remote user can send a specially crafted packet to the VPN Client, trigger uninitialized usage of resources and obtain an uninitialized stack space value in the VPN Client process.
