427 tcp,udp applications SLP (Service Location Protocol, used by MacOS and NetWare)

ExtremeZ-IP.exe in ExtremeZ-IP File and Print Server does not verify that a certain "number of URLs" field is consistent with the packet length, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a large integer in this field in a packet to the Service Location Protocol (SLP) service on UDP port 427, triggering an out-of-bounds read.
References: [CVE-2008-0767] [BID-27718]

srvloc.sys in Novell Client for Windows before 4.91 SP3 allows remote attackers to cause an unspecified denial of service via a crafted packet to port 427 that triggers an access of pageable or invalid addresses using a higher interrupt request level (IRQL) than necessary.
References: [CVE-2006-6307] [BID-21430] [SECUNIA-23244]

OpenSLP as used in VMware ESXi (7.0 before ESXi_7.0.1-0.0.16850804, 6.7 before ESXi670-202010401-SG, 6.5 before ESXi650-202010401-SG) has a use-after-free issue. A malicious actor residing in the management network who has access to port 427 on an ESXi machine may be able to trigger a use-after-free in the OpenSLP service resulting in remote code execution.
References: [CVE-2020-3992]

OpenSLP as used in ESXi (7.0 before ESXi70U1c-17325551, 6.7 before ESXi670-202102401-SG, 6.5 before ESXi650-202102101-SG) has a heap-overflow vulnerability. A malicious actor residing within the same network segment as ESXi who has access to port 427 may be able to trigger the heap-overflow issue in OpenSLP service resulting in remote code execution.
References: [CVE-2021-21974]

OpenSLP as used in ESXi has a denial-of-service vulnerability due a heap out-of-bounds read issue. A malicious actor with network access to port 427 on ESXi may be able to trigger a heap out-of-bounds read in OpenSLP service resulting in a denial-of-service condition.
References: [CVE-2021-21995]

slpd-lite is a unicast SLP UDP server. Any OpenBMC system that includes the slpd-lite package is impacted. Installing this package is the default when building OpenBMC. Nefarious users can send slp packets to the BMC using UDP port 427 to cause memory overflow issues within the slpd-lite daemon on the BMC. Patches will be available in the latest openbmc/slpd-lite repository.

SANS ISC: port 427

Notes:
Port numbers in computer networking represent communication endpoints. Ports are unsigned 16-bit integers (0-65535) that identify a specific process, or network service. IANA is responsible for internet protocol resources, including the registration of commonly used port numbers for well-known internet services.
Well Known Ports: 0 through 1023.
Registered Ports: 1024 through 49151.
Dynamic/Private : 49152 through 65535.

TCP ports use the Transmission Control Protocol, the most commonly used protocol on the Internet and any TCP/IP network. TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent. Guaranteed communication/delivery is the key difference between TCP and UDP.

UDP ports use the Datagram Protocol. Like TCP, UDP is used in combination with IP (the Internet Protocol) and facilitates the transmission of datagrams from one computer to applications on another computer, but unlike TCP, UDP is connectionless and does not guarantee reliable communication; it's up to the application that received the message to process any errors and verify correct delivery. UDP is often used with time-sensitive applications, such as audio/video streaming and realtime gaming, where dropping some packets is preferable to waiting for delayed data.

When troubleshooting unknown open ports, it is useful to find exactly what services/processes are listening to them. This can be accomplished in both Windows command prompt and Linux variants using the "netstat -aon" command. We also recommend runnig multiple anti-virus/anti-malware scans to rule out the possibility of active malicious software. For more detailed and personalized help please use our forums.
