CVE-2021-20038

SonicWall SMA 100 Appliances

SonicWall SMA 100 devies are vulnerable to an unauthenticated stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability where exploitation can result in code execution.

Exploitation status

  • CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
  • It is known to have been used in ransomware campaigns.
  • US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2022-02-11. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.

Required action
