Authenticated code execution via unbounded interface-name copy
Published Jul 8, 2024 · Updated Nov 4, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in boa in Realtek rtl819x Jungle SDK 3.4.11 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code. The set_RadvdInterfaceParam function copies the interfacename request parameter with strcpy into interface.Name in a stack-resident radvdCfgParam structure without checking its length. Administrator access to the router web interface and a preceding page request for CSRF state are required; exploitation can crash boa or execute code on the device.
