AI-suggested
A fix is available in ZoneMinder version 1.38.4. Users should upgrade to version 1.38.4 or later to remediate these vulnerabilities. No vendor advisory content was provided to indicate alternative mitigations or temporary fixes. Until patched, restricting access to trusted HTTP cameras and monitoring for abnormal HTTP responses may reduce risk.
Description
ZoneMinder versions before 1.38.4 contain static buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the RemoteCameraHttp::GetResponse() function. These vulnerabilities arise from processing oversized HTTP response headers sent by malicious HTTP cameras or intercepting attackers. Crafted HTTP responses with oversized status messages, Connection headers, Content-Type values, or multipart boundaries can corrupt parser state, leading to crashes or memory corruption in the capture process.
