MikroTik RouterOS suffers from two vulnerabilities. The cerm process suffers from an uncontrolled resource consumption issue. By sending a crafted packet, an authenticated remote user can cause a high cpu load, which may make the device respond slowly or unable to respond. Versions until stable 6.45.7 are affected. The traceroute process suffers from a memory corruption issue. By sending a crafted packet, an authenticated remote user can crash the traceroute process due to invalid memory access. Versions until stable 6.46.4 are affected.

==========================
These two vulnerabilities were tested only against the MikroTik RouterOS
stable release tree when found. Maybe other release trees also suffer from
these vulnerabilities.

issue. By sending a crafted packet, an authenticated remote user can cause
a high cpu load, which may make the device respond slowly or unable to
respond.
2. The traceroute process suffers from a memory corruption issue. By
sending a crafted packet, an authenticated remote user can crash the
traceroute process due to invalid memory access.
