CVE-2017-3223: Dahua IP camera products using firmware versions prior to V2.400.0000.14.R.20170713 include a version of the Sonia web interface that may be vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow

Dahua IP camera products using firmware versions prior to V2.400.0000.14.R.20170713 include a version of the Sonia web interface that may be vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow. Dahua IP camera products include an application known as Sonia (/usr/bin/sonia) that provides the web interface and other services for controlling the IP camera remotely. Versions of Sonia included in firmware versions prior to DH_IPC-Consumer-Zi-Themis_Eng_P_V2.408.0000.11.R.20170621 do not validate input data length for the 'password' field of the web interface. A remote, unauthenticated attacker may submit a crafted POST request to the IP camera's Sonia web interface that may lead to out-of-bounds memory operations and loss of availability or remote code execution. The issue was originally identified by the researcher in firmware version DH_IPC-HX1X2X-Themis_EngSpnFrn_N_V2.400.0000.30.R.20160803.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Some Dahua IP cameras used a web interface component that mishandled long password input. An unauthenticated remote attacker could potentially crash the camera or execute code. Business urgency depends on whether affected Dahua cameras are still deployed and reachable over untrusted networks. Exposure is most likely where older Dahua IP cameras expose their web interface to the internet, partner networks, or broad internal networks. The bundle identifies Dahua IP Camera firmware, but version naming is inconsistent, so inventory must verify exact firmware strings. Prioritize if Dahua cameras are internet-facing or used in sensitive physical-security environments. The issue is old, but unauthenticated remote code execution potential and embedded-device patch gaps make lingering deployments a material operational risk. Mitigation focus: Inventory Dahua IP cameras and record exact firmware versions.; Restrict camera web interfaces from internet and untrusted network access.; Check Dahua and CERT/CC guidance for fixed firmware applicability..

Stack-based Buffer Overflow

Stack-based Buffer Overflow represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
