Last modified
CVE-2021-42377 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. An attacker-controlled pointer free in Busybox's hush applet leads to denial of service and possible code execution when processing a crafted shell command, due to the shell mishandling the &&& string. This may be used for remote code execution under rare conditions of filtered command input.. EPSS estimates a 3.38% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
