CVE-2024-5267
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 · uneditedSonos Era 100 SMB2 Message Handling Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Sonos Era 100 smart speakers. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of SMB2 messages. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-22384.
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 confidenceOut-of-bounds write vulnerability in Sonos Era 100's SMB2 message handling due to lack of proper validation of user-supplied data. Network-adjacent attackers can exploit this without authentication to execute arbitrary code as root.

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 Sonos Era 100 devices on your networkScan your network for devices with manufacturer identifier for Sonos products, or check your Sonos controller app for Era 100 speakersAffected if A Sonos Era 100 speaker is present on your network
-
Check the firmware versionOpen the Sonos app, select the Era 100 device, go to Settings > About This Speaker, and note the firmware version numberAffected if The firmware version is exactly 15.9
-
Verify SMB service availabilityAttempt a TCP connection to port 445 on the Era 100 IP address, or scan the device for open port 445/tcpAffected if Port 445 (SMB) is open and responding on the Era 100 device
-
Assess network exposureReview network segmentation and firewall rules to determine if the Era 100 SMB service is accessible from untrusted network segments or the internetAffected if The device SMB service is reachable from network segments that are not isolated or trusted
You are affected if you have a Sonos Era 100 running firmware version 15.9 with SMB (port 445) exposed to network segments that are not isolated.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor firmware patches when released; until then, isolate Era 100 devices on restricted network segments and block SMB (445/tcp) traffic from untrusted networks.
