CVE-2021-21748

Status: ModifiedCritical (9.8)—

ZTE MF971R product has two stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities. An attacker could exploit the vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
