Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Edimax BR-6675nD router version 1.12. The flaw is located within the 'formWlSiteSurvey' function of the '/goform/formWlSiteSurvey' endpoint, which handles POST requests. By manipulating the 'selSSID' argument, a remote attacker with low privileges can trigger a buffer overflow. This occurs due to improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer (CWE-119/CWE-120). Successful exploitation can lead to remote code execution or a complete system crash. Although the vendor was notified, no patch has been released, and exploit details are publicly available.
