Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the motion_privacy.cgi binary within VIVOTEK FD8136 firmware version FD8136-VVTK-0300a. The vulnerability is triggered when processing POST requests to the /cgi-bin/admin/setpm.cgi, /cgi-bin/admin/setmd.cgi, or /cgi-bin/admin/setmd_profile.cgi endpoints. The application fails to perform bounds checking when copying the 'n1' parameter into a fixed-size 0xa4-byte stack buffer. Because the binary is compiled without stack canaries, an authenticated attacker can overwrite the saved link register to redirect control flow and execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
