Authenticated memory corruption via oversized L2TP username
Published May 24, 2026 · Updated May 24, 2026
Buffer overflow in Edimax BR-6675nD 1.12 allows remote authenticated users to corrupt memory through a crafted L2TPUserName POST value. The formL2TPSetup function processes that value at /goform/formL2TPSetup without constraining its length, overflowing a memory buffer. Low-privileged management access is required; exploitation can expose or alter router data and configuration or interrupt service.
