Reported by: Gallagher Internal

Active exploitation of vulnerability*: No

Description of vulnerability:
Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input (CWE-120) in the Controller 6000 and Controller 7000 diagnostic web interface allows an authorised and authenticated operator to reboot the Controller, causing a Denial of Service. Gallagher recommend the diagnostic web page is not enabled (default is off) unless advised by Gallagher Technical support. This interface is intended only for diagnostic purposes.

Mitigation: Ensure dipswitch 1 is turned off on all Controllers and the option, "Dipswitch 1 controls the diagnostic web interface", is not checked in Configuration Client on Controller property pages. Do not use the Controller override, "Enable WWW Connections". Refer to the Gallagher Command Centre Hardening Guide for more details.

Maintenance releases are now available for:

• v9.10 - v9.10.1530(MR2)
• v9.00 - v9.00.2168(MR4)
• v8.90 - v8.90.2155(MR5)
• v8.80 - v8.80.1938(MR6)
