Technical details
A stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) exists in the Form_Logout function within the vendor-customized lighttpd binary (/usr/sbin/lighttpd) of the Totolink NR1800X firmware version 9.1.0u.6279_B20210910. The vulnerability is located in the /formLogout.htm endpoint, where the userloginAuth() function fails to perform authentication or session validation before processing the request. An attacker can trigger the overflow by sending a GET request to /formLogout.htm with a Host header exceeding 245 bytes, which is then processed by an unsafe strcpy() operation. This allows for remote code execution (RCE) or denial of service (DoS) without any user interaction or valid credentials.
