Low Privilege Attacker Can Conduct Configuration Changes Leading to Denial of Service

CVE-2024-43391

Summary

A vulnerability exists in the firewall services of Vendor X products that enables low privileged remote attackers to alter critical configurations. This can include changes to packet filtering, forwarding, network access controls, and network address translation (NAT). By manipulating the FW_PORTFORWARDING.SRC_IP environment variable, attackers can disrupt service operations, leading to a denial of service (DoS) condition. This presents significant risks for network integrity and availability.
