VAR-201801-1645
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2023-12-18 13:33Stack-based buffer overflow in the ej_update_variables function in router/httpd/web.c on ASUS routers (when using software from https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin) allows web authenticated attackers to execute code via a request that updates a setting. In ej_update_variables, the length of the variable action_script is not checked, as long as it includes a "_wan_if" substring. ASUS The router contains a buffer error vulnerability.Information is obtained, information is altered, and service operation is disrupted (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. ASUSrouters is a wireless router product from ASUS. A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the \342\200\230ej_update_variables\342\200\231 function of the router/httpd/web.c file in the ASUS router. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability to execute code by sending a request to update settings
