Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Samsung SmartThings Hub STH-ETH-250-Firmware version 0.20.17

Description A buffer overflow issue exists in the credentials handler of the video-core's HTTP server. The video-core process incorrectly handles fields from a user-controlled JSON payload, leading to a buffer overflow on the stack. This occurs because the strncpy function overflows the destination buffer, which has a size of 2,000 bytes. An attacker can exploit this by sending an arbitrarily long sessionToken value.

Recommendations For Samsung SmartThings Hub STH-ETH-250-Firmware version 0.20.17, consider restricting the length of the sessionToken value in the JSON payload to prevent buffer overflow until a patch is available.
