Descriptions

An unauthenticated attacker could arbitrarily upload firmware files to the target device, ultimately causing a Denial-of-Service (DoS). This vulnerability impacts products based on HID Mercury Intelligent Controllers LP1501, LP1502, LP2500, LP4502, and EP4502 which contain firmware versions prior to 1.302 for the LP series and 1.296 for the EP series. The attacker needs to have a properly signed and encrypted binary, loading the firmware to the device ultimately triggers a reboot.

Un atacante no autenticado podría cargar arbitrariamente archivos de firmware en el dispositivo objetivo, causando en última instancia una denegación de servicio (DoS). Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a los productos basados en los controladores inteligentes HID Mercury LP1501, LP1502, LP2500, LP4502 y EP4502 que contienen versiones de firmware anteriores a 1.302 para la serie LP y 1.296 para la serie EP. El atacante necesita tener un binario debidamente firmado y encriptado, la carga del firmware en el dispositivo finalmente desencadena un reinicio
