Technical details

A buffer over-read vulnerability (CWE-126) exists in Fortinet FortiOS versions 7.2, 7.4, and 7.6. The flaw is triggered when the system processes a specially crafted request that results in a redirect response. An authenticated remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this to leak portions of the device's memory. The leaked memory is returned within the redirect response, potentially exposing sensitive information. Users are advised to upgrade to patched versions of FortiOS as specified by the vendor.
