Zyxel security advisory for buffer overflow vulnerability in Realtek eCos SDK
Zyxel Employee
CVE: CVE-2022-27255
Summary
Zyxel is aware of a buffer overflow vulnerability in some versions of Realtek’s Software Development Kit (SDK) and assures customers that Zyxel products are NOT affected.
What is the vulnerability?
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the SIP ALG module in some versions of Realtek’s eCos SDK. This could allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to trigger a buffer overflow and then cause a crash or achieve arbitrary code execution via a crafted SIP packet containing malicious SDP data.
What versions are vulnerable—and what should you do?
After a thorough investigation, we can confirm that Zyxel products are NOT affected, because they either do not use a vulnerable SDK version or do not adopt the vulnerable SIP ALG module.
