Summary
The WatchGuard Fireware OS, which runs WatchGuard Firebox firewalls, is affected through its iked process when mobile user VPN with IKEv2 or branch office VPN using IKEv2 with a dynamic gateway peer is in use. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this flaw to run arbitrary code on the affected device.

Read the original description
An Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in the WatchGuard Fireware OS iked process may allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects both the mobile user VPN with IKEv2 and the branch office VPN using IKEv2 when configured with a dynamic gateway peer. If the Firebox was previously configured with the mobile user VPN with IKEv2 or a branch office VPN using IKEv2 to a dynamic gateway peer, and both of those configurations have since been deleted, that Firebox may still be vulnerable if a branch office VPN to a static gateway peer is still configured.
