CVE-2014-2942

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Cobham Aviator 700D and 700E satellite terminals use an improper algorithm for PIN codes, making it easier for attackers to obtain a privileged terminal session by calculating the superuser code.

Risk Assessment

Attackers may gain access to privileged terminal functions, potentially leading to serious security breaches and data loss.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the terminal software and implement stronger algorithms for PIN code protection.
