Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-15266)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input in command-line parameters that describe filenames. A local user can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-15276)

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

The vulnerability exists in the web interface due to a failure of the HTTP parsing engine to handle specially crafted URLs. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted URL to the web interface of the affected device and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.

Conversely, an unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user of the web interface to click the crafted URL.
