Router crash via unchecked vapurl buffer copy
Published May 23, 2026 · Updated May 23, 2026
Buffer overflow in Edimax BR-6428nS 1.10 allows remote authenticated users to crash the router through a crafted POST request. The formWirelessTbl handler copies the vapurl request-body value into a destination buffer without first verifying that the input fits. Reachability requires authenticated access to the web management interface; published evidence does not establish controlled code execution.
