Am I affected?
Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat sometimes backport a fix without changing the upstream version number: such a version reads « to verify », never « affected ».With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.
Description
Improper input validation vulnerability in GOT2000 series GT27 model all versions, GOT2000 series GT25 model all versions, GOT2000 series GT23 model all versions, GOT2000 series GT21 model all versions, GOT SIMPLE series GS21 model all versions, and GT SoftGOT2000 all versions allows an remote unauthenticated attacker to write a value that exceeds the configured input range limit by sending a malicious packet to rewrite the device value. As a result, the system operation may be affected, such as malfunction.
