CVE-2016-8597
Buffer overflow in the csp_sfp_recv_fp in csp_sfp.c in the libcsp library v1.4 and earlier allows hostile components with network access to the SFP underlying network layers to execute arbitrary code via specially crafted SFP packets.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.26%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Buffer overflow in the csp_sfp_recv_fp in csp_sfp.c in the libcsp library v1.4 and earlier allows hostile components with network access to the SFP underlying network layers to execute arbitrary code via specially crafted SFP packets.
