How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability is based upon a buffer overflow error. The software does not adequately validate input given in the macFilterType and deviceList parameters. If an attacker sends an unusually large amount of data to these parameters, they can overflow the buffer, causing the system to crash or, in some cases, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code or gain unauthorized access.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited in a HTTP POST request:
POST /formSetMacFilterCfg HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"macFilterType": "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...",
"deviceList": "BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB..."
}In this example, “A” and “B” represent an overflow of data that exceeds the buffer’s capacity. The attacker floods the parameters with excessive data, causing the system to crash or potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
