Technical details

Multiple OS command injection vulnerabilities exist within the `libNetSetObj.so` library of the GeoVision GV-I/O Box 4E. Specifically, the `CNetSetObj::m_F_n_Set_Gate_way` function fails to sanitize the gateway address string before passing it to a `system()` call via `sprintf`. This vulnerability is reachable via the network-exposed `DVRSearch` service and the `Network.cgi` endpoint. An attacker with high privileges can send a crafted network request to execute arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of the affected process. The vendor has released version 2.12 to address these issues.
