CVE-2024-45414
The HTTPD binary in multiple ZTE routers has a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in webPrivateDecrypt function.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.48%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The HTTPD binary in multiple ZTE routers has a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in webPrivateDecrypt function. This function is responsible for decrypting RSA encrypted ciphertext, the encrypted data is supplied base64 encoded. The decoded ciphertext is stored on the stack without checking its length.
