OESA-2022-1624 (CVE-2022-28391)

Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2022-04-29 11:04 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:04 – Source website

Summary

busybox security update

Details

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. It provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system.

Security Fix(es):

BusyBox through 1.35.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code if netstat is used to print a DNS PTR record s value to a VT compatible terminal. Alternatively, the attacker could choose to change the terminal s colors.(CVE-2022-28391)

Severity

9.8 (Critical)

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
