CVE-2024-8454Network attack vector

Unauthenticated service crash via crafted swctrl packets

Published Sep 30, 2024 · Updated Sep 30, 2024

Denial of service in swctrl on affected PLANET switches allows remote attackers to crash the service with crafted packets. TWCERT/CC and PLANET identify swctrl as the packet-processing locus but do not disclose the packet fields or failing code path. No authentication or user interaction is required; the bounded consequence is interruption of the swctrl discovery and remote-management service.
