Fortinet FortiManager Buffer Overflow (FG-IR-21-206)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 163254

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running a version of FortiManager that is 5.6.x through 5.6.11, 6.x through 6.0.11, 6.2.x through 6.2.9, 6.4.x through 6.4.7, or 7.x through 7.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue, via the TFTP protocol with crafted CLI 'execute restore image' and 'execute certificate remote' operations, to execute arbitrary code or commands in the system.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update FortiManager to version 6.4.8, 7.0.3, or later.
