Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the UTT HiPER 1250GW router firmware up to version 3.2.7-210907-180535. The flaw is located within the /goform/formNatStaticMap interface, specifically involving the strcpy function. When the 'Action' parameter is not set to 'add', the application fails to validate the length of the 'NatBind' (internally 'NatBinds') parameter before copying it into a fixed-size buffer. An attacker with low-privileged network access can send a specially crafted POST request to trigger the overflow. This results in a denial of service (device crash/reboot) and potentially remote code execution. A public exploit (PoC) is available.
