Authenticated device compromise via DHCP comment overflow
Published Jun 20, 2025 · Updated Jun 20, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in TOTOLINK EX1200T 4.1.2cu.5232_B20210713 allows remote authenticated users to compromise the device. The setStaticDhcpConfig function in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi mishandles an oversized Comment request value and overwrites stack memory. A valid low-privilege session is required; successful exploitation affects device confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
