CVE-2021-36762
Last modified
CVE-2021-36762 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. An issue was discovered in HCC Embedded InterNiche NicheStack through 4.3. The tfshnd():tftpsrv.c TFTP packet processing function doesn't ensure that a filename is adequately '\0' terminated; therefore, a subsequent call to strlen for the filename might read out of bounds of the protocol packet buffer (if no '\0' byte exists within a reasonable range).. EPSS estimates a 2.30% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
