VAR-201712-0527
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 23:37An issue was discovered in Valve Steam Link build 643. Root passwords longer than 8 characters are truncated because of the default use of DES (aka the CONFIG_FEATURE_DEFAULT_PASSWD_ALGO="des" setting). Valve Steam Link Contains a vulnerability in the use of cryptographic algorithms.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. A security vulnerability exists in the ValveSteamLinkbuild643 version, which stems from the fact that the program only detects the first 8 characters of the password. There are currently no detailed details of the vulnerability provided
