Description
A buffer overflow vulnerability in the web server of some Hikvision IP Cameras allows an attacker to send a specially crafted message to affected devices. Due to the insufficient input validation, successful exploit can corrupt memory and lead to arbitrary code execution or crash the process.
Exploitation
