Last modified

CVE-2018-25225 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.6/10 on the CVSS scale. SIPP 3.3 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying malicious input in the configuration file. Attackers can craft a configuration file with oversized values that overflow a stack buffer, overwriting the return address and executing arbitrary code through return-oriented programming gadgets.. EPSS estimates a 0.19% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
