Product Description
==================
RouterOS is the operating system used on the MikroTik's devices, such as
switch, router and access point.
Description of vulnerabilities
==========================
These vulnerabilities were reported to the vendor almost one year ago. And
the vendor confirmed these vulnerabilities. However, there is still no fix
for them yet.
By the way, the three vulnerabilities in sniffer binary are different from
each one.
1. CVE-2020-20214
The btest process suffers from an assertion failure vulnerability. There is
a reachable assertion in the btest process. By sending a crafted packet, an
authenticated remote user can crash the btest process due to assertion
failure.
Against stable 6.46.5, the poc resulted in the following crash dump.

This vulnerability was initially found in long-term 6.44.5, and it seems
that the latest stable version 6.48.2 still suffers from this vulnerability.
2. CVE-2020-20222
The sniffer process suffers from a memory corruption vulnerability. By
sending a crafted packet, an authenticated remote user can crash the
sniffer process due to NULL pointer dereference.
Against stable 6.46.5, the poc resulted in the following crash dump.

This vulnerability was initially found in long-term 6.46.3, and it seems
that the latest stable version 6.48.2 suffers from an assertion failure
vulnerability when running the same poc.
