Technical details

The vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow in the sub_44B50C function within the /cgi-bin/mbox-config endpoint. The function uses a sprintf-like operation (off_47D1FC) to concatenate user-supplied input (the "channel" parameter) with the format string "ptest setchannel %s" into a 64-byte stack buffer without validating the input length or performing boundary checks. When an attacker sends a specially crafted HTTP POST request with an oversized channel value to the endpoint /?method=SET&section=ptest_channel, the buffer overflows and corrupts the return address and other critical stack data. The attack requires network reachability to the router's web management interface but does not require prior authentication. Exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the web server process.
