Authentication bypass via unchecked http_host stack copy
Published Feb 23, 2024 · Updated Aug 12, 2024
Stack overflow in TOTOLINK LR1200GB 9.1.0u.6619_B20230130 and 9.3.5u.6698_B20230810 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication. The loginAuth function in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi copies a non-null http_host value onto the local stack without a bounds check, allowing it to overwrite the stored username and password. A crafted unauthenticated request can obtain an authenticated session; this CVE alone does not establish command execution.
