Technical details
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the DVRSearch service of GeoVision GV-I/O Box 4E firmware version 2.09. The service listens for UDP messages on port 10001. The vulnerability occurs in the CMD_IP_SET functionality where the 'net_mask' field from a received network configuration is copied into a local stack buffer using memcpy() without adequate bounds checking. Specifically, the length is determined by strlen() of the attacker-controlled input and then copied to a fixed offset in 'reply_buf'. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this to overwrite the stack, including the return address, leading to arbitrary code execution with root privileges. A patch was released in firmware version 2.12.
