CVE-2022-2471
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedStack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in the EZVIZ Motion Detection component as used in camera models CS-CV248, CS-C6N-A0-1C2WFR, CS-DB1C-A0-1E2W2FR, CS-C6N-B0-1G2WF, CS-C3W-A0-3H4WFRL allows a remote attacker to execute remote code on the device. This issue affects: EZVIZ CS-CV248 versions prior to 5.2.3 build 220725. EZVIZ CS-C6N-A0-1C2WFR versions prior to 5.3.0 build 220428. EZVIZ CS-DB1C-A0-1E2W2FR versions prior to 5.3.0 build 220802. EZVIZ CS-C6N-B0-1G2WF versions prior to 5.3.0 build 220712. EZVIZ CS-C3W-A0-3H4WFRL versions prior to 5.3.5 build 220723.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceStack-based buffer overflow in the EZVIZ motion detection component allows remote attackers to overflow a stack-allocated buffer by providing specially crafted motion detection data, enabling arbitrary code execution on affected camera models.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the EZVIZ camera modelLocate the model number on the camera physical label, or check via the EZVIZ mobile app under Device Settings, or access the camera web interface and look for the model identifier (Cs C6n, Cs Db1c, Cs C3w, or Cs Cv248)Affected if The camera model is one of: Cs C6n A0 1c2wfr, Cs Db1c A0 1e2w2fr, Cs C6n B0 1g2wf, Cs C3w A0 3h4wfrl, or Cs Cv248
-
Check the installed firmware versionIn the EZVIZ app, go to Device Settings > Device Info > Firmware Version; or log into the camera web interface and check the version information page; note the exact firmware build numberAffected if The firmware version matches 5.3.0 (for C6n A0, Db1c A0, C6n B0), 5.3.5 (for C3w A0), or 5.2.1 (for Cv248)
-
Verify motion detection feature is enabledIn the EZVIZ app, go to Device Settings > Detection Settings > Motion Detection and confirm the feature toggle is turned on; or check via the camera web interface under motion detection settingsAffected if Motion detection is enabled and the camera is actively processing motion detection data
A user is affected if they own one of the listed EZVIZ camera models (C6n A0, Db1c A0, C6n B0, C3w A0, or Cv248) running the specific vulnerable firmware version (5.3.0, 5.3.5, or 5.2.1) with motion detection feature enabled.
