CVE-2026-112373: H3C Magic NX15 stack-based buffer overflow in usrlist

CVE-2026-112373 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-20

H3C Magic NX15 is a network router used in enterprise environments. A stack-based buffer overflow in the usrlist daemon allows an authenticated attacker to trigger a denial-of-service condition by causing the router process to crash repeatedly. The vulnerability could potentially be exploited for more severe impact beyond denial of service.

Technologies: H3C Magic NX15. Vendors: H3C.

Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in sub_416874 of /usr/bin/usrlist, where data from /var/run/agentlist is accumulated into a 1024-byte stack buffer without bounds checking, using strcat(). An authenticated attacker can write oversized data via the /api/esps endpoint to trigger the overflow. The process is respawned by procd, creating a crash-restart loop; while denial of service is confirmed, the binary lacks stack protection and FORTIFY_SOURCE, suggesting potential for control-flow hijacking.
