VAR-201712-0526
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 23:24An issue was discovered in Valve Steam Link build 643. When the SSH daemon is enabled for local development, the device is publicly available via IPv6 TCP port 22 over the internet (with stateless address autoconfiguration) by default, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access by guessing 24 bits of the MAC address and attempting a root login. This can be exploited in conjunction with CVE-2017-17878. This vulnerability CVE-2017-17878 And related issues.Information is obtained, information is altered, and service operation is disrupted (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. ValveSteamLink is a Steam online gaming device from ValueSoftware, USA. There is a security hole in ValveSteamLink. A remote attacker can exploit the vulnerability to gain access by guessing the 24-bit MAC address and attempting to log in as root
