Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the ssid1MACFilter function of the mod_form.so binary when processing the newap_text_%d parameter without proper input validation. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable via an HTTP POST request to /goform/ssid1MACFilter; no authentication is required. An attacker can control program execution or cause denial of service by overflowing the stack with excess data.
