Pwning thousands of routers with a vulnerability in Realtek’s SDK for eCos OS
Badge +1

Cymulate’s honeypot network was able to track a massive load of exploitation of CVE-2022-27255 - RCE: with the the Suricata signature - “ET EXPLOIT Realtek eCos RSDK/MSDK Stack-based Buffer Overflow Attempt Inbound” ID: “2038669”CVE-2022-27255 [https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-27255]: Realtek eCos RSDK 1.5.7p1 and MSDK 4.9.4p1, the SIP ALG function that rewrites SDP data has a stack-based buffer overflow. This allows an attacker to remotely execute code without authentication via a crafted SIP packet that contains malicious SDP data.


We think that these new attacks are related to the Infobyte demonstration on Defcon of a new vulnerability they found.
The POC exploit provided by infobyte’s can be found on their github: https://github.com/infobyte/cve-2022-27255/tree/main/exploits_nexxt
Their github includes both analysis (test to see if you are vulnerable or not) and also the POC of the exploitation.This easily means that attackers follow all kinds of security conferences to gain new methods of attacks and exploits.
