3DescriptionCVE.org
Multiple DrayTek VigorSwitch models contain a buffer overflow vulnerability in the mail_mailalert function. The vulnerability is caused by concatenating multiple smtpReceiver email addresses into a fixed-size buffer without checking the remaining buffer size. 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.
AnalysisAI
Buffer overflow in DrayTek VigorSwitch's mail_mailalert function allows authenticated remote attackers with valid administrative credentials to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary commands across approximately 28 affected managed switch models. The flaw stems from unbounded concatenation of multiple SMTP receiver email addresses into a fixed-size buffer, reachable via the device's web management interface. …
