A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the OTA Update u-download functionality of Sealevel Systems, Inc. SeaConnect 370W v1.3.34. A series of specially-crafted MQTT payloads can lead to remote code execution. An attacker must perform a man-in-the-middle attack in order to trigger this vulnerability.
A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
