How the Exploit Works
This exploit works by an attacker manipulating the value of ‘wl_base_set_5g’ in the payload of the cgitest.cgi file. By controlling this value, a buffer overflow can be triggered in the FUN_00476598 function. Buffer overflows can lead to a crash in the program, causing a potential Denial of Service (DoS). There is also a potential for system compromise or data leakage as a result of this vulnerability.
Conceptual Example Code
The following is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This is a sample HTTP request where the attacker manipulates the ‘wl_base_set_5g’ value.
POST /cgitest.cgi HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
wl_base_set_5g=AAAA... // long string of A's to overflow buffer
