DescriptionCVE.org

An issue in MikroTIk (SIA Mikrotikls, Latvia) RouterOS 7.21.x before v.7.21.4 and 7.22.x before v.7.22.2 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the unflatten() function in libumsg.so.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in MikroTik RouterOS 7.21.x (before 7.21.4) and 7.22.x (before 7.22.2) allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to crash the core inter-process communication layer by triggering an integer overflow in the unflatten() function of the bundled libumsg.so library. Successfully exploiting it disrupts device availability without touching data confidentiality or integrity. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No special conditions beyond network reachability - remote unauthenticated exploitation (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) against RouterOS 7.21.x/7.22.x, requiring only the ability to send a crafted IPC message to a network-exposed RouterOS service that routes through the vulnerable unflatten() path in libumsg.so. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, score 7.5) describes a cleanly remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity availability-only attack - no confidentiality or integrity impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who can reach an exposed RouterOS service over the network sends a crafted message whose length fields trigger the integer overflow inside unflatten() in libumsg.so, corrupting memory and crashing the IPC-handling process. With low attack complexity and no authentication or user interaction required, this can be repeated to keep the router or affected service offline. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: upgrade RouterOS 7.21.x devices to 7.21.4 or later and 7.22.x devices to 7.22.2 or later, which contain the fix for the unflatten() integer overflow; consult MikroTik's advisory at https://mikrotik.com/supportsec for exact channel details. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify and inventory all MikroTik RouterOS devices running versions 7.21.x (prior to 7.21.4) or 7.22.x (prior to 7.22.2) in your network infrastructure, and segment them from untrusted networks if operationally feasible. …
