Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in Silicon Labs Gecko OS Debug Interface

CVE-2024-23938

What is CVE-2024-23938?

A vulnerability exists within the debug interface of Silicon Labs’ Gecko OS that exposes installations to potential exploitation by network-adjacent attackers. This vulnerability is characterized by a stack-based buffer overflow due to inadequate validation of user-supplied data length prior to copying it to a stack buffer. As a consequence, attackers can execute arbitrary code within the context of the device, which could lead to unauthorized actions and system compromise. This highlights the critical need for robust security measures and continuous monitoring to mitigate such vulnerabilities in enterprise environments.
