Administrator-triggered memory corruption via undisclosed out-of-bounds write
Published Mar 7, 2025 · Updated Mar 7, 2025
Out-of-bounds write in QNAP QTS 5.1.x and QuTS hero h5.1.x allows remote attackers with administrator access to corrupt memory. QNAP has not disclosed the affected component, attacker-controlled input, or operation that writes beyond its intended memory boundary. Exploitation requires administrator access over a network and high attack complexity; the documented consequence is memory modification or corruption.
