Synopsis

The remote security gateway is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

Firmware version of the Zyxel USG, ATP, or VPN is less than 5.36 or the version of Zyxel ZyWall is less than 4.73 Patch 1. This Zyxel device firmware contains improper error message handling logic which could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute some OS commands remotely by sending crafted packets to an affected device.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Zyxel USG / ATP / VPN to 5.36 or upgrade ZyWALL < 4.73 Patch 1 or later.
