Technical details

The setDMZ function in /goform/setDMZ fails to validate the MAC_addr parameter before passing it to nvram_bufset and subsequently to the sysctl binary, allowing OS command injection. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable via a crafted HTTP POST request and requires no authentication. An attacker gains arbitrary command execution with the privileges of the router process.
