Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2017-9765, “Devil’s Ivy,” is a flaw in older Genivia gSOAP code used by some cameras and other devices. A remote attacker could potentially crash affected software or execute code by sending an oversized XML document. Treat exposed SOAP/XML services on older firmware as the main concern. Exposure is most likely in embedded products, IoT devices, cameras, and applications that bundled vulnerable gSOAP versions. The bundle specifically mentions Axis cameras and other devices, but does not provide a complete product list. Prioritize internet-facing cameras, IoT devices, and appliances first. The business risk is highest where vulnerable embedded services are remotely reachable and vendor patch status is unclear. Mitigation focus: Upgrade bundled gSOAP to version 2.8.48 or later where applicable.; Apply firmware or software updates from affected device vendors.; Identify devices exposing SOAP or XML-processing interfaces to untrusted networks..
