Technical details
A classic buffer overflow (CWE-120) exists in the Edimax BR-6675nD router firmware version 1.12. The vulnerability is located within the 'formPPPoESetup' function in the '/goform/formPPPoESetup' file, which handles POST requests for PPPoE configuration. By providing an overly long string to the 'pppUserName' argument, an attacker can overflow a memory buffer. This attack can be initiated over the network, though it typically requires low-level authentication (PR:L). Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution (RCE) or a denial of service (DoS) condition. As of the advisory date, no patch has been released by the vendor.
