## Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Edimax BR-6478AC router firmware version 1.23. The flaw is located within the 'formPPPoESetup' function in the '/goform/formPPPoESetup' component, which handles POST requests for PPPoE configuration. By manipulating the 'pppUserName' argument, a remote attacker with low privileges can overflow the stack buffer. This can lead to remote code execution (RCE) or a denial of service (DoS) condition. While the attack requires network reachability and basic authentication, a public exploit is reportedly available.
