Kenwood DNR1007XR vCardParser Heap-based Buffer Overflow Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows physically present attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Kenwood DNR1007XR devices. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the vCardParser class. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-28974.
AnalysisAI
Heap-based buffer overflow in the vCardParser class of the Kenwood DNR1007XR automotive multimedia receiver allows physically present, unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. The flaw stems from missing bounds validation when copying attacker-controlled string data into a heap-allocated buffer during vCard contact parsing. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Physical presence at the device is mandatory - confirmed by CVSS AV:P - making all remote exploitation vectors impossible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Real-world risk is substantially constrained by the physical attack vector (CVSS AV:P), which eliminates all remote exploitation paths and is the single dominant limiting factor. … 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 | The primary remediation is to obtain and apply the latest available firmware for the Kenwood DNR1007XR from Kenwood's official firmware distribution page (https://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/mm/firmware/2020/2020f/eng.html) and confirm with Kenwood support or the ZDI advisory at https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-26-488/ that the update addresses the vCardParser heap overflow. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
