A Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerability in the SonicOS SSH management interface allows a remote attacker to establish a TCP connection to an IP address on any port when the user is logged in to the firewall.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to initiate arbitrary server-side requests on affected installations of SonicWALL NSv. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed.
The specific flaw exists within the SSH Management functionality. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied IP addresses and ports. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of root.
