How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability is triggered by manipulating the ‘page’ argument in the /goform/SafeMacFilter file. This manipulation can cause the system to overflow the buffer, a common programming error where more data is written into a block of memory, or buffer, than it can hold. In this case, the overflow can corrupt relevant memory and potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (DoS).
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of a malicious HTTP POST request that could exploit this vulnerability:
POST /goform/SafeMacFilter HTTP/1.1
Host: target_router_IP
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
page=%s%s%s%s%s... [overly long string]In this example, the attacker sends a request to the /goform/SafeMacFilter endpoint with a manipulated ‘page’ argument. The ‘page’ argument contains a string that is longer than the buffer can handle, causing a buffer overflow.
Mitigation
The best way to mitigate this vulnerability is to apply the patch provided by the vendor as soon as it becomes available. As a temporary measure, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can help detect and block attempts to exploit this vulnerability. Regularly updating and patching your systems can also reduce the risk of being affected by such vulnerabilities.
