CVE-2025-60691

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the httpd binary of Linksys E1200 v2 routers (Firmware E1200_v2.0.11.001_us.tar.gz). The apply_cgi and block_cgi functions copy user-supplied input from the "url" CGI parameter into stack buffers (v36, v29) using sprintf without bounds checking. Because these buffers are allocated as single-byte variables, any non-empty input will trigger a buffer overflow. Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability via crafted HTTP requests to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service without authentication.

Las funciones apply_cgi y block_cgi copian la entrada proporcionada por el usuario del parámetro CGI “url” en búferes de pila (v36, v29) utilizando sprintf sin verificación de límites. Debido a que estos búferes se asignan como variables de un solo byte, cualquier entrada no vacía activará un desbordamiento de búfer. Atacantes remotos pueden explotar esta vulnerabilidad a través de solicitudes HTTP manipuladas para ejecutar código arbitrario o causar denegación de servicio sin autenticación."
