CVE-2017-10724
8.8 · HIGHOverview
CVE-2017-10724 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting ishekar endoscope_camera_firmware. It was published on June 17, 2019 and has a CVSS 3.0 base score of 8.8 (HIGH).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.0 base score of 8.8, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.
Technical Description
Recently it was discovered as a part of the research on IoT devices in the most recent firmware for Shekar Endoscope that an attacker connected to the device Wi-Fi SSID can exploit a memory corruption issue and execute remote code on the device. This device acts as an Endoscope camera that allows its users to use it in various industrial systems and settings, car garages, and also in some cases in the medical clinics to get access to areas that are difficult for a human being to reach. Any breach of this system can allow an attacker to get access to video feed and pictures viewed by that user and might allow them to get a foot hold in air gapped networks especially in case of nation critical infrastructure/industries. The firmware contains binary uvc_stream that is the UDP daemon which is responsible for handling all the UDP requests that the device receives. The client application sends a UDP request to change the Wi-Fi name which contains the following format: "SETCMD0001+0002+[2 byt
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from ishekar. Update endoscope_camera_firmware to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
