CVE-2026-6643
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the VPN Clients on the ADM. The issue stems from the use of unbounded sscanf() and passing user-controlled data directly to printf(). Due to the lack of PIE and Stack Canary protections, an authenticated remote attacker can exploit these to execute arbitrary code as the web server user. Affected products and versions include: from ADM 4.1.0 through ADM 4.3.3.RR42 as well as from ADM 5.0.0 through ADM 5.1.2.REO1.

El problema se deriva del uso de sscanf() sin límites y el paso de datos controlados por el usuario directamente a printf(). Debido a la falta de protecciones PIE y Stack Canary, un atacante remoto autenticado puede explotar estas para ejecutar código arbitrario como el usuario del servidor web.
