Unauthenticated code execution via overlong TFTP address
Published May 20, 2025 · Updated May 21, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in PLANET WGS-804HPT firmware 1.305b241111 allows remote attackers to execute code via a crafted TFTP server address. Public disclosures identify the bytftp_srvip parameter in web_tool_upgradeManager_post as the overflow source but do not specify the exact unsafe copy operation or destination buffer size. Network access requires no credentials; successful exploitation can execute code or crash the device.
