A vulnerability has been identified in SCALANCE LPE9403 (All versions < V2.1). A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the `edgebox_web_app` binary. The binary will crash if supplied with a backup password longer than 255 characters. This could allow an authenticated privileged attacker to cause a denial of service.
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().
