Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the 'formSetFirewall' function within the '/goform/formSetFirewall' endpoint of Belkin F9K1015 firmware version 1.00.10. The root cause is an unsafe 'strcpy' operation where a user-provided parameter, 'webpage', is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer ('last_url') without length validation. An attacker with network access and low-level privileges can trigger this overflow by sending a POST request with an excessively long string in the 'webpage' argument. Successful exploitation can lead to a denial of service (DoS) or remote code execution (RCE). As of the advisory date, the vendor has not responded to disclosure attempts, and a public exploit (PoC) is available.
