CVE-2021-47821

7.5

Raimersoft · RarmaRadio

RarmaRadio is susceptible to a denial of service vulnerability via improper validation of network configuration input fields, allowing attackers to crash the application using large character buffers.

Executive summary

A denial of service vulnerability in RarmaRadio allows local attackers to crash the application by injecting excessively large character buffers into network configuration fields.

Vulnerability

The application fails to perform adequate input validation on network configuration fields, specifically when processing user-supplied data in the username, server, port, or user agent settings. An attacker can trigger application instability and a complete crash by pasting a 100,000 character buffer into these fields.

Business impact

The successful exploitation of this vulnerability results in a denial of service, rendering the RarmaRadio application unusable. While the impact is primarily local, it disrupts operational workflows reliant on the software. Given the CVSS score of 7.5, the vulnerability is classified as High severity, primarily due to the ease of exploitation and the direct impact on service availability.

Remediation

Immediate Action: As no official patch is currently identified, users should refrain from entering untrusted or excessively long strings into the network configuration settings of RarmaRadio.

Proactive Monitoring: Security teams should monitor system logs for application crashes or unexpected terminations associated with the RarmaRadio process to identify potential attempts to exploit this flaw.

Compensating Controls: Implement endpoint security policies that restrict the ability of unauthorized users to modify application configuration files or settings within the RarmaRadio environment.

Exploitation status

Public Exploit Available: Yes, a proof of concept is available via ExploitDB (EDB-ID: 49906).

Analyst recommendation

Due to the availability of a public proof of concept and the relative simplicity of the attack vector, organizations using RarmaRadio should treat this vulnerability as a credible risk to service continuity. Until an official vendor patch is released, administrators must enforce strict configuration management practices and limit user interaction with application settings to prevent unauthorized or malicious input.
