Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-121) exists in the thttpd web server component of GeoVision GV-LPC2011 and GV-LPC2211 license plate recognition cameras. The flaw is rooted in insufficient bounds checking when processing web request parameters at a specific request path. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted HTTP request containing overly long input strings. Successful exploitation can lead to memory corruption, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) condition or arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the web server. The vulnerability is addressed in firmware version 1.13.
