Technical details
A classic buffer overflow in the SDK service process allows unauthenticated network attackers to send specially crafted packets that overflow a buffer when the SDK service and JDAF routing instance are both enabled. The overflow can lead to denial of service (routing engine crash) or remote code execution with routing engine privileges. No authentication or user interaction is required.
