Technical details

Multiple stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities (CWE-121) exist within the management service components of AOS-8 and AOS-10. These vulnerabilities are accessible via the command-line interface (CLI). An authenticated attacker with high privileges (administrative) can exploit these flaws by sending specially crafted requests to the affected services. Successful exploitation allows for arbitrary code execution with elevated privileges on the underlying Linux-based operating system. The vulnerability is reachable over the network, though it requires valid administrative credentials.
