Device malfunction via crafted packet stack overflow
Published Jul 22, 2026 · Updated Jul 22, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Hikvision DS-2CD and DS-2DE Series cameras allows remote authenticated users to cause device malfunction. Hikvision has not identified the packet-processing component or disclosed how crafted packet data overruns a stack buffer. High-privilege credentials and network access are required; public details do not distinguish whether malfunction means a hang, crash, or reboot.
