CVE-2020-12820

Under non-default configuration, a stack-based buffer overflow in FortiOS version 6.0.10 and below, version 5.6.12 and below may allow a remote attacker authenticated to the SSL VPN to crash the FortiClient NAC daemon (fcnacd) and potentially execute arbitrary code via requesting a large FortiClient file name. We are not aware of proof of concept code successfully achieving the latter.

Summary		(es) En una configuración no predeterminada, un desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en FortiOS versión 6.0.10 y anteriores, versión 5.6.12 y anteriores puede permitir que un atacante remoto autenticado en la VPN SSL bloquee el daemon NAC de FortiClient (fcnacd) y potencialmente ejecute código arbitrario mediante la solicitud de un nombre de archivo FortiClient grande. No tenemos conocimiento de ningún código de prueba de concepto que logre esto último con éxito.
