Technical details

The get_css_path_from_uri function in /cgi-bin/mbox-config fails to validate input length when copying URI path data into a fixed-size stack buffer, allowing a remote attacker to overflow the buffer without credentials. The vulnerable endpoint does not enforce login session validation, and the function uses only a "?" character or string terminator as a stop condition, enabling stack memory corruption including local variables, saved registers, and return addresses.
