Fortinet FortiOS < 5.6.13 / 6.0 < 6.0.11 / 6.1 < 6.2.5 / 6.3 < 6.4.2 Heap Buffer overflow (FG-IR-20-082)

high Nessus Plugin ID 141567

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running a version of FortiOS prior to 5.6.13, 6.0 prior to 6.0.11, 6.1 prior to 6.2.5, or 6.3 prior to 6.4.2.

It is, therefore, affected by a buffer overflow in the Link Control Protocol that could allow an authenticated remote attacker to crash the SSL VPN daemon and could be used to execute remote code.

Solution

Upgrade to Fortinet FortiOS version to 5.6.13, 6.0.11, 6.2.5, 6.4.2 or later.
