Synology warned its customers that few of its network-attached storage (NAS) appliances are vulnerable to cyberattacks compromising various critical Netatalk vulnerabilities. Various vulnerabilities allow remote hackers to access critical information and may execute arbitrary code through a vulnerable variant of Synology Router Manager and DiskStation Manager (DSM). 

Netatalk is an Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) open-source platform that lets devices running on *NIX/*BSD work as AppleShare file servers (AFP) for Mac OS users for viewing files stored on Synology NAS devices. 

The development team of Netatalk fixed the patches in version 3.1.1, issued in March, following the Pwn2Own hacking competition in 2021.

Synology mentioned three vulnerabilities in the latest warning- CVE-2022-23125, CVE-2022-23122, CVE-2022-0194, all three having high severity ratings.
