Technical details

Stack-based buffer overflows exist in the boa web server's formIpv6Setup pppoe functionality, specifically in the pppoe_dns1 and pppoe_dns2 HTTP POST parameters (CVE-2026-42019 and CVE-2026-42020). These parameters are copied directly to the stack without bounds checking, allowing an authenticated user to overflow the buffer, overwrite the return address, and execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability requires authentication and a network-based HTTP request.
