Technical details

The formTcpipSetup function in the router's web interface directly copies user-supplied input from the "name" parameter into a fixed-size stack buffer without bounds checking, causing a stack-based buffer overflow. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this via a crafted POST request to /goform/formTcpipSetup to crash the router or achieve code execution. No patch is available as the product reached end-of-life in 2011.
