CVE-2020-7982: Openwrt Lede

High severity, CVSS 8.1. EPSS: 1.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

An issue was discovered in OpenWrt 18.06.0 to 18.06.6 and 19.07.0, and LEDE 17.01.0 to 17.01.7. A bug in the fork of the opkg package manager before 2020-01-25 prevents correct parsing of embedded checksums in the signed repository index, allowing a man-in-the-middle attacker to inject arbitrary package payloads (which are installed without verification).

Affected products

• Openwrt Lede: from 17.01.0, up to and including 17.01.7
• Openwrt Openwrt: from 18.06.0, before 18.06.7 (fixed in 18.06.7); version 19.07.0 only
