CVE-2019-11560 — Hisilicon Hi3516 Firmware security vulnerability

Critical CVSS 9.8

A buffer overflow vulnerability in the streaming server provided by hisilicon in HI3516 models allows an unauthenticated attacker to remotely run arbitrary code by sending a special RTSP over HTTP packet. The vulnerability was found in many cameras using hisilicon's hardware and software, as demonstrated by TENVIS cameras 1.3.3.3, 1.2.7.2, 1.2.1.4, 7.1.20.1.2, and 13.1.1.1.7.2; FDT FD7902 11.3.14.1.3 and 10.3.14.1.3; FOSCAM cameras 3.2.1.1.1_0815 and 3.2.2.2.1_0815; and Dericam cameras V11.3.8.1.12.

Matched remediation archetype

Buffer bounds, memory safety, and memory corruption

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify affected native-code versions, build flags, architectures, parsers, codecs, drivers, and input paths in all shipped artifacts.
  • Determine whether untrusted data reaches the affected routine and the process privilege, sandbox, and network exposure.
  • Confirm statically linked, vendored, firmware, and platform-provided copies, not only package-manager records.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the maintained upstream correction or replace the affected component, then rebuild every dependent artifact from clean inputs.
  • Adopt bounds-checked interfaces, validated sizes and integer conversions, clear ownership, and memory-safe components where practical.
  • Enable supported compiler and runtime hardening and add sanitized tests and fuzz regression seeds derived from non-weaponized fixtures.
