CVE-2024-7177Network attack vector

Authenticated process compromise via unchecked language input

Published Jul 29, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Buffer overflow in TOTOLINK A3600R firmware 4.1.2cu.5182_B20201102 allows remote authenticated users to corrupt cstecgi.cgi memory. The setLanguageCfg handler copies attacker-controlled langType input into a fixed-size destination without first checking its length. An authenticated management session is required; overlong values overwrite adjacent memory and compromise the CGI process.
