Published Nov 22, 2024 · Updated Nov 22, 2024

Buffer overflow in QNAP QTS 5.2.x and QuTS hero h5.2.x allows remote authenticated users with administrator access to execute code. An undisclosed component copies attacker-controlled input into a buffer without first checking that the destination is large enough. Exploitation requires remote administrator access and can corrupt memory, execute code, or crash the affected process.
