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 · unedited
An issue was discovered in Infiray IRAY-A8Z3 1.0.957. The firmware contains a potential buffer overflow by calling strcpy() without checking the string length beforehand.

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 · moderate confidence

The Infiray IRAY-A8Z3 device firmware version 1.0.957 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability caused by using the unsafe strcpy() function without validating string length. This allows an attacker to overflow a buffer by providing overly long input strings, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or system compromise.

MitigationApply the vendor firmware patch when available; until then, restrict network exposure to the device and sanitize all inputs to prevent exploitation of the unbounded string copy.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm device model is Infiray IRAY-A8Z3
    Identify the physical device or check system information/network discovery to verify the exact model number matches 'Infiray Iray A8z3'
    Affected if The device model is not Infiray IRAY-A8Z3, this CVE does not apply
  2. Check firmware version equals 1.0.957
    Access the device admin interface, check system settings, or use the vendor-provided firmware version check command to retrieve the current installed firmware version
    Affected if The installed firmware version is exactly 1.0.957, the device is potentially affected by this buffer overflow
  3. Identify input interfaces that accept string parameters
    Review device documentation or enumerate accessible interfaces (web UI, CLI, API endpoints, network services) that accept user-supplied string inputs which could trigger the vulnerable strcpy() call
    Affected if String input fields or parameters are exposed through any interface on the device
  4. Assess network accessibility of the device
    Determine if the device is directly accessible from untrusted networks or if it is isolated behind a firewall, as exploitation requires sending long strings to the device
    Affected if The device is exposed to untrusted networks without network segmentation

You are affected if you have an Infiray IRAY-A8Z3 device running firmware version 1.0.957 with accessible input interfaces that could accept overly long strings.
