This could be leveraged by remote, unauthenticated attackers to gain resultant privileged (root) code execution on the switch, because there is a stack-based buffer overflow during unserialization of packet data.","published":"2017-08-22T17:29:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T01:03:56.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-119"],"affected":["noviflow/noviware"],"epss":{"score":0.25259,"percentile":0.97928,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[{"date":"2026-09-21","score":0.26689,"percentile":0.97978},{"date":"2026-09-22","score":0.25259,"percentile":0.97841}]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":1,"verified":false,"firstPublished":"2017-08-18","source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[{"edbId":42518,"kind":"exploit","title":"NoviFlow NoviWare < NW400.2.6 - Multiple Vulnerabilities","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/42518","sourceUrl":"https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb/-/blob/main/exploits/hardware/dos/42518.txt","file":"exploits/hardware/dos/42518.txt","published":"2017-08-18","added":"2017-08-18","updated":"2017-08-23","author":"François Goichon","type":"dos","platform":"hardware","port":null,"verified":false,"codes":["CVE-2017-12786","CVE-2017-12785","CVE-2017-12787"],"tags":null,"aliases":null,"applicationUrl":null,"screenshotUrl":null,"referenceUrl":null}]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 25.3%, higher than 98% of all known CVEs.
