Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Belkin F9K1015 firmware version 1.00.10 within the 'webs' server component. The flaw is located in the 'formSetPassword' function in '/goform/formSetPassword', where the 'webpage' parameter is read and subsequently passed to a 'strcpy' call into the 'reboot_msg' buffer without 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 remote code execution (RCE) or a denial of service (DoS) condition. A public exploit (PoC) is available, and the vendor has reportedly not responded to disclosure attempts.
