FortiOS / FortiProxy - Heap buffer underflow in administrative interface
Summary
A buffer underwrite ('buffer underflow') vulnerability in FortiOS & FortiProxy administrative interface may allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the device and/or perform a DoS on the GUI, via specifically crafted requests.
Exploitation status:
Fortinet is not aware of any instance where this vulnerability was exploited in the wild. We continuously review and test the security of our products, and this vulnerability was internally discovered within that frame.

Workaround for FortiOS:
Disable HTTP/HTTPS administrative interface
OR
Limit IP addresses that can reach the administrative interface:
config firewall address
edit "my_allowed_addresses"
set subnet <MY IP> <MY SUBNET>
end
Then create an Address Group:
config firewall addrgrp
edit "MGMT_IPs"
set member "my_allowed_addresses"
end
Create the Local in Policy to restrict access only to the predefined group on management interface (here: port1):
config firewall local-in-policy
edit 1
set intf port1
set srcaddr "MGMT_IPs"
set dstaddr "all"
set action accept
set service HTTPS HTTP
set schedule "always"
set status enable
next
edit 2
set intf "any"
set srcaddr "all"
set dstaddr "all"
set action deny
set service HTTPS HTTP
set schedule "always"
set status enable
end
If using non default ports, create appropriate service object for GUI administrative access:
config firewall service custom
edit GUI_HTTPS
set tcp-portrange <admin-sport>
next
edit GUI_HTTP
set tcp-portrange <admin-port>
end
Use these objects instead of "HTTPS HTTP "in the local-in policy 1 and 2 below.
When using an HA reserved management interface, the local in policy needs to be configured slightly differently - please see: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-How-to-configure-a-local-in-policy-on-a-HA/ta-p/222005
