CVE-2018-1000517

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions BusyBox versions prior to commit 8e2174e9bd836e53c8b9c6e00d1bc6e2a718686e

Description The issue is related to a Buffer Overflow vulnerability in the BusyBox wget, which can result in a heap buffer overflow. This vulnerability can be exploited via network connectivity, allowing a remote attacker to impact the integrity and availability of data, as well as cause a denial of service.

Recommendations For BusyBox versions prior to commit 8e2174e9bd836e53c8b9c6e00d1bc6e2a718686e, update to a version that includes the fix after commit 8e2174e9bd836e53c8b9c6e00d1bc6e2a718686e to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting network connectivity to minimize the risk of exploitation.
