Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ALEOS versions 4.16.0 and earlier

Description The issue is related to an open-source third-party component in ALEOS that can be exploited from the local area network, resulting in a Denial of Service condition for the captive portal. Additionally, there is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the dynamic memory of the ALEOS operating system, which can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

Recommendations For ALEOS version 4.16.0 and earlier, update to version 4.17 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
