CVE-2021-21969 Information

Description

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the HandleSeaCloudMessage functionality of Sealevel Systems Inc. SeaConnect 370W v1.3.34. The HandleIncomingSeaCloudMessage function uses at [4] the json_object_get_string to populate the p_payload global variable. The p_payload is only 0x100 bytes long and the total MQTT message could be up to 0x201 bytes. Because the function json_object_get_string will fill str based on the length of the json’s value and not the actual str size this would result in a possible out-of-bounds write.
