How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability stems from the manipulation of the ‘page’ argument in the HTTP POST request handler. This manipulation triggers a stack-based buffer overflow condition. Buffer overflow situations are dangerous because they can overwrite memory values, leading to arbitrary code execution. In this case, the threat actor can potentially gain control of the system or access sensitive data.
Conceptual Example Code
Here’s a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited:
POST /goform/L7Prot HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
page=<malicious_payload>In the example above, a threat actor sends a malicious payload as the ‘page’ argument in a POST request to the vulnerable /goform/L7Prot endpoint. The `
Remediation
The most effective remediation for this vulnerability is to apply the vendor’s patch. This patch should address the buffer overflow vulnerability and prevent any potential exploits. In the absence of a patch, or as a temporary measure, organizations can consider implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to identify and block attempts to exploit this vulnerability.
