Title
WDR201A WiFi Extender Stack-Based Buffer Overflow via firewall.cgi
Summary
WDR201A WiFi Extender (HW V2.1, FW LFMZX28040922V1.02) contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the firewall.cgi and makeRequest.cgi binaries that allows unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the saved return address by sending a POST request with a Content-Length header exceeding 512 bytes. Attackers can exploit insufficient length validation in the fgets() call to achieve arbitrary code execution through return-oriented programming or return-to-libc techniques.
Severity ?
8.3 (High)
