CVE-2023-36924Network attack vector

Syslog corruption via arbitrary data writes

Published Jul 11, 2023 · Updated Oct 23, 2024

Log injection in SAP ERP Defense Forces & Public Security allows remote authenticated users to corrupt syslog data through an admin-only function. The unnamed function writes attacker-controlled data to the syslog file without proper output neutralization; SAP has not disclosed the function name. Administrator privileges are required; releases 600, 603 through 605, 616 through 618, and 802 through 807 are affected, and exploitation permits modification of all syslog data.
