Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) exists in the web server component of affected firmware versions due to insufficient bounds checking when copying user-supplied data into a stack buffer. Remote authentication is required; the vulnerability is exploitable over the network with high complexity. Successful exploitation grants arbitrary code execution with operating system-level privileges, or can trigger denial of service.
