Product Description
==================

RouterOS is the operating system used on the MikroTik's devices, such as
switch, router and access point.


Description of vulnerabilities
==========================

These four vulnerabilities were tested only against the MikroTik RouterOS
stable release tree when found.
Maybe other release trees also suffer from these vulnerabilities.

PS: The following three memory corruption vulnerabilities are different.

1. NULL pointer dereference vulnerability
The lcdstat process suffers from a memory corruption vulnerability. By
sending a crafted packet,
an authenticated remote user can crash the lcdstat process due to NULL
pointer dereference.

Against stable 6.46.5, the poc resulted in the following crash dump.
