CVE-2024-45750Network attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via malformed ECDSA signatures

Published Sep 25, 2024 · Updated Sep 26, 2024

Improper authentication in affected TheGreenBow VPN Clients allows remote attackers to establish IKEv2 tunnels with malformed ECDSA signatures. During IKEv2 authentication, the signature-validation path accepts a malformed ECDSA signature as valid and completes tunnel establishment. The attacker must supply the malicious gateway authentication exchange; the CVE record reports arbitrary code execution as the resulting impact.
