CVE-2024-6918Network attack vector

Remote service crash via oversized endpoint string

Published Aug 20, 2024 · Updated Sep 3, 2024

Stack exhaustion in Schneider Electric Accutech Manager 2.8.0.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to terminate its manager service. The port 2536/TCP service endpoint accepts an excessively long string without limiting stack consumption, exhausting the RFManagerService.exe stack and terminating the process. No authentication or user interaction is required, and exploitation interrupts the manager service rather than the Windows host.
