Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-34775)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to missing length validation checks when processing LLDP messages in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol. A remote attacker on the local network can send a specially crafted LLDP packet, trigger out-of-bounds read error and cause corruption in the internal LLDP database of the affected device.


2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-34776)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to missing length validation checks when processing LLDP messages in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol. A remote attacker on the local network can send a specially crafted LLDP packet, trigger out-of-bounds read error and cause corruption in the internal LLDP database of the affected device.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-34777)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to missing length validation checks when processing LLDP messages in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol. A remote attacker on the local network can send a specially crafted LLDP packet, trigger out-of-bounds read error and cause corruption in the internal LLDP database of the affected device.


4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-34778)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to missing length validation checks when processing LLDP messages in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol. A remote attacker on the local network can send a specially crafted LLDP packet, trigger out-of-bounds read error and cause corruption in the internal LLDP database of the affected device.


5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-34779)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing LLDP messages in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol. A remote attacker on the local network can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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


6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-34780)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing LLDP messages in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol. A remote attacker on the local network can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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