Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Belkin F9K1015 router firmware version 1.00.10. The flaw is located within the 'formWISP5G' function in the '/goform/formWISP5G' component. The vulnerability is triggered when the 'webpage' parameter is processed; the application uses the 'strcpy' function to copy user-supplied data into a stack buffer without performing adequate length validation. A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this by sending a specially crafted POST request containing an oversized 'webpage' argument. Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution or a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. As of the advisory date, the vendor has not responded to disclosure attempts.
