How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability resides in the function fromPptpUserSetting of the file /goform/PPTPUserSetting. Specifically, the manipulation of the argument delno can lead to a stack-based buffer overflow. This occurs when data is written into a buffer – or temporary data storage area – and it exceeds the buffer’s capacity. The excess data can corrupt data values in memory addresses adjacent to the buffer, leading to erratic program behavior, including memory access errors, incorrect results, program termination (a crash), or a breach of system security.
Conceptual Example Code
Given the nature of this vulnerability, a potential exploit might look as follows:
“`http
