Zyxel releases new NAS firmware to fix critical RCE vulnerability
2022-09-06 17:30

Networking device maker Zyxel is warning customers today of a new critical remote code execution vulnerability impacting three models of its Networked Attached Storage products.

"A format string vulnerability was found in a specific binary of Zyxel NAS products that could allow an attacker to achieve unauthorized remote code execution via a crafted UDP packet," explains the advisory.

The vendor has already released security updates for the impacted devices in the form of firmware updates, with links to the downloads in the security advisory.

You can visit Zyxel's official download portal, enter your device model, and download the latest firmware update listed in the results.

The vulnerability could be abused to steal data, delete data, or deploy ransomware on Internet-exposed NAS devices.

Only yesterday, we reported that QNAP patched a zero-day vulnerability over the weekend that was used in a new wave of DeadBolt ransomware attacks.
