Description

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

The weakness exists in the remote video-host communication of video-core's HTTP server of Samsung SmartThings Hub due to insecure parsing of the AWSELB cookie while communicating with remote video-host servers. A remote attacker able to impersonate the remote HTTP servers can send an HTTP request, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
