MikroTik RouterOS before 7.24 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the userspace SMB daemon that allows unauthenticated attackers to read beyond the end of the request buffer by supplying a crafted uniPwdLen field value in a minimal SMB1 SessionSetupAndX frame. The out-of-bounds read occurs in the SessionSetupAndX handler before any credential validation, potentially exposing sensitive memory contents.
AnalysisAI
An out-of-bounds read in the userspace SMB daemon of MikroTik RouterOS before 7.24 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read memory beyond the end of the request buffer by sending a minimal SMB1 SessionSetupAndX frame with a crafted uniPwdLen field value. The over-read occurs in the SessionSetupAndX handler before any credential validation, so no authentication or user interaction is required, though exploitation is only possible when the non-default SMB service is enabled and reachable on the network. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The userspace SMB daemon/service must be enabled and network-reachable on the RouterOS device (SMB is not enabled by default), and the attacker must be able to reach its SMB1 SessionSetupAndX handler. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine but limited-severity issue. … 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 | Upgrade affected devices to MikroTik RouterOS 7.24 or later; the vendor-released patch is the 7.24 stable build announced at https://forum.mikrotik.com/t/7-24-stable-is-released/272381, and additional detail is available in the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/mikrotik-routeros-out-of-bounds-read-via-smb1-sessionsetupandx. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
