ZoneMinder before 1.38.4 contains static buffer overflow vulnerabilities in RemoteCameraHttp::GetResponse() that allow malicious HTTP cameras or intercepting attackers to overflow fixed-size buffers by sending oversized response headers. Attackers can send crafted HTTP responses with oversized status messages, Connection headers, Content-Type values, or multipart boundaries to corrupt parser state and crash the capture process or corrupt memory.
AnalysisAI
A static buffer overflow in ZoneMinder's Remote HTTP camera response parser (RemoteCameraHttp::GetResponse()) affects all versions before 1.38.4 and lets a malicious or compromised HTTP camera - or an on-path attacker able to modify the camera's traffic - corrupt fixed-size buffers by sending oversized HTTP status messages, Connection headers, Content-Type values, or multipart boundaries. Successful abuse corrupts parser state and can crash the capture process or corrupt memory; integrity impact is limited (VI:L) while availability impact is high (VA:H), and no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that a ZoneMinder monitor be configured to capture from a Remote HTTP-source camera (RemoteCameraHttp path), and that the attacker either operates/compromises that camera or can intercept and modify its HTTP responses (on-path/MITM). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine but conditionally-triggered memory-safety flaw, not a high-CVSS paper tiger. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade to ZoneMinder 1.38.4, which contains the bounded zm_strncpy() replacement; the relevant fixes are commits 2596e5fb64c0348e615577b0ab08dc38b6dc6ed8 and 813bf6f1a3ffc92c163352f2480477ba571fca5b, and the release is at https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zoneminder/releases/tag/1.38.4 (advisory: https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zoneminder/security/advisories/GHSA-93j4-rcp9-9jx6). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all ZoneMinder installations and identify any running versions before 1.38.4, then immediately apply the patch (Vendor-released patch: 1.38.4) to externally exposed or business-critical surveillance servers; if patching cannot be completed immediately, restrict remote HTTP camera sources to trusted camera VLANs and monitor capture processes for crashes. …
