CVE-2024-57473: n/a
H3C N12 V100R005 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability due to the lack of length verification in the mac address editing function. Attackers who successfully exploit this vulnerability can cause the remote target device to crash or execute arbitrary commands by sending a POST request to /bin/webs.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in H3C N12 V100R005 involves a buffer overflow due to lack of length verification when editing MAC addresses via the web interface endpoint /bin/webs. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted POST request, resulting in denial of service or remote code execution. The CVSS 3.1 score is 9.8, indicating critical severity with network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No vendor advisory or patch information is provided at this time.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can cause the remote device to crash or allow arbitrary command execution, leading to full compromise of the affected device. This impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device and potentially the network it is part of.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict network access to the device's management interface to trusted sources only to reduce exposure.
