7.5/10

Summary

A vulnerability has been identified in Cerberus PRO EN Engineering Tool (All versions), Cerberus PRO EN Fire Panel FC72x IP6 (All versions), Cerberus PRO EN Fire Panel FC72x IP7 (All versions), Cerberus PRO EN Fire Panel FC72x IP8 (All versions < IP8 SR4), Cerberus PRO EN X200 Cloud Distribution IP7 (All versions), Cerberus PRO EN X200 Cloud Distribution IP8 (All versions < V4.3.5618), Cerberus PRO EN X300 Cloud Distribution IP7 (All versions), Cerberus PRO EN X300 Cloud Distribution IP8 (All versions < V4.3.5617), Cerberus PRO UL Compact Panel FC922/924 (All versions < MP4), Cerberus PRO UL Engineering Tool (All versions < MP4), Cerberus PRO UL X300 Cloud Distribution (All versions < V4.3.0001), Desigo Fire Safety UL Compact Panel FC2025/2050 (All versions < MP4), Desigo Fire Safety UL Engineering Tool (All versions < MP4), Desigo Fire Safety UL X300 Cloud Distribution (All versions < V4.3.0001), Sinteso FS20 EN Engineering Tool (All versions), Sinteso FS20 EN Fire Panel FC20 MP6 (All versions), Sinteso FS20 EN Fire Panel FC20 MP7 (All versions), Sinteso FS20 EN Fire Panel FC20 MP8 (All versions < MP8 SR4), Sinteso FS20 EN X200 Cloud Distribution MP7 (All versions), Sinteso FS20 EN X200 Cloud Distribution MP8 (All versions < V4.3.5618), Sinteso FS20 EN X300 Cloud Distribution MP7 (All versions), Sinteso FS20 EN X300 Cloud Distribution MP8 (All versions < V4.3.5617), Sinteso Mobile (All versions). The network communication library in affected systems improperly handles memory buffers when parsing X.509 certificates. This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash the network service.

CWE-119 - Buffer Overflow

Buffer overflow attacks involve data transit and operations exceeding the restricted memory buffer, thereby corrupting or overwriting data in adjacent memory locations. Such overflow allows the attacker to run arbitrary code or manipulate the existing code to cause privilege escalation, data breach, denial of service, system crash and even complete system compromise. Given that languages such as C and C++ lack default safeguards against overwriting or accessing data in their memory, applications utilizing these languages are most susceptible to buffer overflows attacks.
