Nintendo hat Patches für A “Schwer” Schwachstelle in einigen Online-Switches gefunden, 3DS, Und Wii U-Spiele

A severe vulnerability affecting several Nintendo consoles was found recently, with the potential to allow unauthorised access to Switch, 3DS, and Wii U via a host of online games. It’s reported that for some time Nintendo has been working to patch games to eliminate the exploit known as ‘ENLBufferPwn’, with several updates already live to address the situation (thanks, Unter uns führen).

The vulnerability, which has been categorised as ‘Critical’ on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) and detailed in full on Von hier aus können Sie auf andere neue Funktionen zugreifen, z. B. eine Schaltfläche zum Ein- oder Ausschalten der Musik und zur Auswahl aus anderen Titeln von PabloMK7, Rambo6Glaz, und Fishguy6564, reportedly exposes a victim’s device to complete remote control by simply playing an online game with a potential attacker. This means that attackers may gain access to sensitive information or take audio and video recordings by remotely executing code.

The vulnerability was reported to Nintendo in “2021/2022” von @Pablomf6 — who says they received a $1000 “Kopfgeld” via Nintendo’s HackerOne program — and it is now understood that the company has taken action to fix the issue in some of the affected games, einschließlich Mario Kart 7, was war recently updated after more than a decade.

It seems most high-profile Switch titles have already been fixed, but it looks like Mario Kart 8 und splatoon on Wii U have yet to be addressed and may still be affected by the vulnerability.

Here’s a list of affected titles, as per the GitHub page:

It’s speculated that other games may also be affected by the vulnerability, although that’s unconfirmed at present.

For a look at the exploit in action, take a peek at the below video from PabloMK7 which demonstrates an attacker (left console) remotely taking over an unmodified 3DS (rechte Seite) by copying a return-oriented programming (ROP) payload and executing it remotely. The victim console is then forced to run a custom firmware installer and it’s thought that the same technique would allow an attacker to steal sensitive information from a remote console. Glück, this has now been fixed and can no longer be carried out if you’re running the latest version of the software, so be sure to update if you haven’t!

Nintendo’s relatively limited approach to online play seems to have its advantages when it comes to security issues like this, as pointed out by @LuigiBlood discussing the exploit:

Those two games mentioned are Mario Kart 8 und Splatoon, so if you still play either of those titles online on your Wii U, we recommend exercising extreme caution or avoiding them altogether until more information is available. We’ll update this article if further details come to light.
