A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported to affect several QNAP operating system versions. If exploited, the vulnerability could allow authenticated administrators to execute code via a network. We have already fixed the vulnerability in the following versions: QTS 5.1.2.2533 build 20230926 and later QuTS hero h5.1.2.2534 build 20230927 and later QuTScloud c5.1.5.2651 and later
Solution:
The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer, leading to a buffer overflow.
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
