Technical details

A stack buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the HTTP request handler component at the /goform/aspRemoteApConfTempSend endpoint. The vulnerable function uses strcpy() without bounds checking to copy user-supplied input from the "Profile" (or similar "remoteSrcTemp") parameter into a fixed-size buffer. An attacker with network access to the device can send an oversized string to overflow the stack, overwriting the return address or other sensitive data. This allows remote code execution or denial of service. The vulnerability affects UTT HiPER 1250GW firmware version 3.2.7-210907-180535 and earlier; patch availability has not been confirmed.
