CVE-2024-21762 is an out-of-bounds write vulnerability found in the SSL VPN component of Fortinet's FortiOS and FortiProxy. It resides in the SSL VPN functionality, potentially allowing unauthenticated, remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or commands on affected systems. This is achieved by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to a vulnerable device that has SSL VPN enabled, which can trigger a buffer overflow. Specifically, the vulnerability relates to the handling of HTTP requests using chunked transfer encoding. Analysis of the patch revealed that it introduces validation to ensure a certain value is less than 0x10, and if this condition isn't met, an "invalid chunk length string" is logged. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access and control of the targeted systems.
