How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability exploits a buffer overflow flaw in the url parameter at /boafrm/formFilter in TOTOLINK A3002R v4.0.0-B20230531.1404. An attacker can send a specially crafted input that exceeds the buffer’s boundary and overwrites adjacent memory locations, causing the application to crash and thereby successfully executing a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. In some cases, it may also allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code or disclose sensitive information.
Conceptual Example Code
The following conceptual example demonstrates how the vulnerability might be exploited. In this instance, the attacker sends a HTTP POST request with a crafted ‘url’ parameter that triggers the buffer overflow.
POST /boafrm/formFilter HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
url=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... [long string of "A"s]This HTTP POST request contains a long string of “A”s that exceeds the buffer’s size limit, causing an overflow and potentially leading to a denial of service.
