Descriptions

Integer overflow in the DHCP client (udhcpc) in BusyBox before 1.25.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed RFC1035-encoded domain name, which triggers an out-of-bounds heap write.

Desbordamiento de entero en el cliente DHCP (udhcpc) en BusyBox en versiones anteriores a 1.25.0 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) a través de un nombre de dominio codificado RFC1035 mal formado, lo que desencadena una escritura de memoria dinámica fuera de límites.

Many Cisco devices such as Cisco RV340, Cisco RV340W, Cisco RV345, Cisco RV345P, Cisco RV260, Cisco RV260P, Cisco RV260W, Cisco 160, and Cisco 160W suffer from having hard-coded credentials, known GNU glibc, known BusyBox, and IoT Inspector identified vulnerabilities.
