How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability emanates from an incorrect use of the sprintf function in the file /goform/formSetWanNonLogin of the Boa Webserver component, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow. This vulnerability is triggered when an excessively long ‘curTime’ argument is passed, causing the stack buffer to overflow. This overflow can be exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary code or potentially compromise the system’s integrity and confidentiality.

Conceptual Example Code

Here is a
conceptual
example of how the vulnerability could be exploited using an HTTP request:

POST /goform/formSetWanNonLogin HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
curTime=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...

In the above example, an excessively long ‘curTime’ argument is sent to the server, leading to a buffer overflow.

Mitigation and Recommendations

Affected users are advised to apply the vendor’s patch to correct this vulnerability. As this vulnerability affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer, users are encouraged to upgrade to a newer, supported version of the product. In the meantime, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can be used as a temporary mitigation strategy. These systems can detect and prevent exploitation attempts targeting this vulnerability.
