Unauthenticated root code execution via unchecked stack copy
Published Feb 19, 2025 · Updated Feb 20, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in Extreme Networks IQ Engine before 10.6r1a and through 10.6r4 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code. The ah_auth service on UDP port 3001 copies user-supplied data into a fixed-length stack buffer without first validating its length. Network adjacency is required, but authentication and user interaction are not; successful exploitation runs attacker-controlled code as root.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
