In nDPI through 3.2 Stable, an out-of-bounds read in concat_hash_string in ssh.c can be exploited by a network-positioned attacker that can send malformed SSH protocol messages on a network segment monitored by nDPI's library.
AnalysisAI
In nDPI through 3.2 Stable, an out-of-bounds read in concat_hash_string in ssh.c can be exploited by a network-positioned attacker that can send malformed SSH protocol messages on a network segment. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.5), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125), which allows attackers to read data from memory outside the intended buffer boundaries. In nDPI through 3.2 Stable, an out-of-bounds read in concat_hash_string in ssh.c can be exploited by a network-positioned attacker that can send malformed SSH protocol messages on a network segment monitored by nDPI's library. Affected products include: Ntop Ndpi. Version information: through 3.2.
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Validate array indices and buffer lengths. Use memory-safe languages. Enable AddressSanitizer during testing.
