CVE: CVE-2022-43389CVE-2022-43390CVE-2022-43391CVE-2022-43392

Summary

Zyxel is aware of multiple vulnerabilities reported by Positive Technologies and advises users to install the applicable firmware updates for optimal protection.

 

What are the vulnerabilities?

CVE-2022-43389

A buffer overflow vulnerability in the library of the web server in some 5G NR/4G LTE CPE devices, which could allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute some OS commands or to cause denial-of-service (DoS) conditions on a vulnerable device. Note that the WAN access is disabled by default on most devices.

CVE-2022-43390

A command injection vulnerability in the CGI program of some 5G NR/4G LTE CPE, DSL/Ethernet CPE, fiber ONT, and WiFi extender devices, which could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute some OS commands on a vulnerable device by sending a crafted HTTP request. Note that the WAN access is disabled by default on most devices.

CVE-2022-43391

A buffer overflow vulnerability in the parameter of the CGI program in some 5G NR/4G LTE CPE, DSL/Ethernet CPE, fiber ONT, and WiFi extender devices, which could allow a remote authenticated attacker to cause DoS conditions by sending a crafted HTTP request. Note that the WAN access is disabled by default on most devices.

CVE-2022-43392

A buffer overflow vulnerability in the parameter of web server in some 5G NR/4G LTE CPE, DSL/Ethernet CPE, fiber ONT, and WiFi extender devices, which could allow a remote authenticated attacker to cause DoS conditions by sending a crafted authorization request. Note that the WAN access is disabled by default on most devices.
