3DescriptionCVE.org
Multiple DrayTek VigorSwitch models contain a buffer overflow vulnerability in the acl_general_setup Edit ACE function. The vulnerability is caused by copying the name field into a fixed-size buffer without length validation. A remote attacker can trigger this vulnerability via crafted input, causing a denial of service or potentially executing arbitrary commands. Exploitation requires valid administrative credentials for the device's web management interface.
