Unauthenticated code execution via unchecked DNS copy
Published Jun 24, 2026 · Updated Jun 24, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in GeoVision GV-I/O Box 4E 2.09 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via UDP requests. The default DVRSearch service handles CMD_IP_SET on UDP port 10001 and copies the attacker-controlled DNS value into reply_buf at offset 248 using its unchecked strlen length. Network access alone is sufficient; a crafted request can overwrite control data and execute code on the appliance or crash DVRSearch.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
