CVE-2026-7829 Details
Description
UltraVNC repeater through 1.8.2.2 contains a post-authentication out-of-bounds write in the allow/deny rule parser. In repeater/webgui/settings.c:225-272, after strncpy_s copies a rule token into temp1[rule1] (25-byte destination) or temp2/temp3 (16-byte destination), the code unconditionally writes a NUL terminator at temp1[rule1][len] = 0 without clamping len to the destination size. When an authenticated administrator saves a rule with a token length equal to or greater than the destination size, the NUL byte is written one or more bytes past the end of the stack-allocated array, corrupting adjacent stack data. An attacker who has obtained admin credentials (including via CVE-2026-7839 default password) can trigger this to gain code execution on the repeater host.
A post-authentication out-of-bounds write vulnerability has been identified in UltraVNC Repeater versions through 1.8.2.2. The issue arises in the allow/deny rule parser, where the code improperly handles the termination of strings after copying rule tokens into temporary buffers. This flaw allows an authenticated administrator to overwrite adjacent stack data, potentially leading to code execution on the repeater host.
Users are advised to update to UltraVNC Repeater version 1.8.2.4, which addresses this vulnerability.
