CVE-2018-3878 Information

Description

Multiple exploitable buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in the credentials handler of video-core’s HTTP server of Samsung SmartThings Hub STH-ETH-250 devices with firmware version 0.20.17. The video-core process incorrectly extracts fields from a user-controlled JSON payload leading to a buffer overflow on the stack. A strncpy overflows the destination buffer which has a size of 16 bytes. An attacker can send an arbitrarily long \region\ value in order to exploit this vulnerability.
