CVE-2026-67277

Kernel memory disclosure and denial of service in MikroTik RouterOS btest service

Published Sep 5, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 8.8 High EPSS 1.6% KEV · Listed
Description
RouterOS accepts a "related" btest connection before the corresponding primary session has completed authentication. An unauthenticated client can use this state to start an IPv4 UDP test. With "random-data=false", the sender transmits an uninitialized tail from a kernel packet buffer. A separate unchecked, inverted packet-size interval causes unsigned integer underflow, anomalously large fragmented output, and can restart the RouterOS kernel.



This issue was fixed in versions: 6.49.21 (Long-term), 7.23.4 (Long-term) and 7.24.2 (Stable)
