Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Edimax BR-6675nD firmware version 1.12. The flaw is located within the 'formL2TPSetup' function in the '/goform/formL2TPSetup' component, which handles POST requests. By sending a malicious POST request with an oversized 'L2TPUserName' argument, a remote attacker with low privileges can trigger the overflow. This can lead to arbitrary code execution or a denial of service (DoS). As of the advisory date, the vendor has not responded to disclosure attempts, and no official patch is available.
