Technical details

The formTR069Config() function in the boa web server reads a password parameter from an HTTP POST request and, after basic validation (spaces and non-ASCII checks), writes it to flash storage and then reads it back into a fixed-size stack buffer of 0xF8 bytes. Since the MIB_TR069_PASSWORD maximum length exceeds this buffer size, an attacker can overflow the stack with a crafted password value. Authentication is required, and the attack is triggered via an HTTP request to /boafrm/formTR069Config.
