CVE-2017-10934: ZTE Zxiptv Epg Firmware: Insecure deserialization
CVE-2017-10934 is rated critical with a CVSS v3.0 base score of 9.8 and NVD lists ZTE Zxiptv Epg Firmware as the affected product. Per its scoring, it can be exploited over the network, without authentication, without any user interaction. The scored impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability is the highest available.
Vulnerability description
All versions prior to V5.09.02.02T4 of the ZTE ZXIPTV-EPG product use the Java RMI service in which the servers use the Apache Commons Collections (ACC) library that may result in Java deserialization vulnerabilities. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the vulnerabilities by sending a crafted RMI request to execute arbitrary code on the target host.
