A stack-based overflow vulnerability [CWE-124] in Fortinet FortiOS version 7.0.0 through 7.0.10 and 7.2.0 through 7.2.3 and FortiProxy version 7.0.0 through 7.0.9 and 7.2.0 through 7.2.2 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code or command via crafted packets reaching proxy policies or firewall policies with proxy mode alongside deep or full packet inspection.
Solution:
A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
