GateHouse and satellite terminals enable remote code execution

CVE-2013-6035 · published 12 years ago
Summary

The firmware in GateHouse, Harris BGAN, and several Hughes satellite terminals does not check who is connecting on port 1827. This lets an outside attacker send specially crafted data and run their own programs on the device. Apply the latest firmware updates from the manufacturers as soon as possible to require authentication and block this access.
