Vulnerability from emb3d
Devices may have vulnerabilities within software used to parse various network protocols. If the device does not properly parse a protocol, a threat actor can send improperly formatted messages to the device, which may result in memory corruptions. Vulnerabilities resulting from protocol manipulation can then be used to perform remote code execution or to perform a denial-of-service attack on the device. There are a number of known complexities with network protocol parsing, including unclear protocol specifications or parsing expectation.
- CWE-20: Improper Input Validation (Class)
- CWE-121: Stack-based Buffer Overflow (Simple)
