Description

On Insteon Hub 2245-222 devices with firmware version 1012, specially crafted replies received from the PubNub service can cause buffer overflows on a global section overwriting arbitrary data.

An attacker can send an arbitrarily long "ak" parameter in order to exploit this vulnerability.
