HRX-1620: Stack-based Buffer Overflow
CVE-2023-6095 is a high-severity stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in HRX-1620 from Hanwha Vision, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.9 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected HRX-1620 versions: 3.05.62 and prior versions. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.66% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 52% of scored CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Check which version of HRX-1620 you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
Vladimir Kononovich, a Security Researcher has found a flaw that allows for a remote code execution on the DVR. An attacker could inject malicious HTTP headers into request packets to execute arbitrary code. The manufacturer has released patch firmware for the flaw, please refer to the manufacturer's report for details and workarounds.

The underlying weakness: Stack-based Buffer Overflow
The product writes past the end of a buffer that was allocated on the stack.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index checking. D3-SFCV (Stack Frame Canary Validation) from D3FEND discusses canary-based detection in detail.
- Use an abstraction library to abstract away risky APIs. Not a complete solution.
- Implement and perform bounds checking on input.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: no, technical impact: total).
- Record last changed materially (score, affected products, status or references).
