Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: N/A)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input at the IEEE802.1x setting page in web interface. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send specially crafted request to the affected device, trigger stack-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) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: N/A)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of weak cryptographic algorithm. A remote non-authenticated attacker with ability to perform man-in-the-middle attack can intercept and decrypt sensitive data (e.g. device configuration), passed via insecure channel.


3) Use of Hard-coded Cryptographic Key (CVE-ID: N/A)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to firmware uses a hard-coded cryptographic key. A local user can obtain the key and decrypt files with sensitive information.


4) Use of hard-coded credentials (CVE-ID: N/A)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain full access to vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to presence of hard-coded credentials in application code. A remote unauthenticated attacker can access the affected system using the hard-coded credentials.

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


5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: N/A)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing data passed via the DHCP setting and PTP setting in web interface. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected device, trigger memory corruption and perform denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) Cleartext transmission of sensitive information (CVE-ID: N/A)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to software uses by default insecure communication channel to transmit sensitive information. A remote attacker with ability to intercept network traffic can gain access to sensitive data.


7) Weak password requirements (CVE-ID: N/A)

The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform brute-force attack and guess the password.

The vulnerability exists due to weak password requirements. An attacker can perform a brute-force attack and guess users' passwords.
