Mikrotik RouterOS before 6.42.7 and 6.40.9 is vulnerable to a memory corruption vulnerability. An authenticated remote attacker can crash the HTTP server by rapidly authenticating and disconnecting.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
