Technical details

The VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) implementation in Session Smart Router contains an out-of-bounds read flaw triggered by malformed VRRPv3 advertisements. An L2-adjacent attacker can craft and transmit a specially crafted advertisement to read stale memory or induce a system fault without requiring authentication or user interaction, potentially leaking sensitive data or causing denial of service.
