CVE-2022-20753Network attack vector

Authenticated code execution via set-snmp buffer overflow

Published May 4, 2022 · Updated Nov 6, 2024

Stack-based buffer overflow in Cisco RV340 and RV345 firmware 1.0.03.26 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute code. The set-snmp JSON-RPC handler copies an oversized usmUserPrivKey value into a fixed-length stack buffer without validating its length. Valid Administrator credentials and access to the web management interface are required, and successful exploitation runs code as www-data.
