Description
PLANET GS-4210-16P2S firmware before 3.441b260626 contains multiple authenticated stack buffer overflow vulnerabilities in /cgi-bin/dispatcher.cgi. The following handlers copy attacker-controlled POST parameters into fixed-size stack buffers without length validation: web_vlan_membership_edit_dialog_post; web_dai_vlan_post; web_poe_alive_rmtip_post; web_sys_sntp_post; web_tool_upgradeManager_post; web_port_countersClr_post; web_rmon_statisticsClr_post; web_cablediag_copper_post; web_aaa_*Authlist* handlers; web_acl_mgmt_Rules_Apply_post; web_acl_mgmt_Rules_Edit_post; web_acl_*AceDel_post handlers; web_acl_*AceAdd/Edit_post handlers; web_acl_bindAdd_post; web_acl_bindEdit_post; web_snmp_v3view_add_post; web_snmp_v3group_add_post; web_snmp_v3community_add_post; web_snmp_v3host_add_post; web_snmp_notifyv3_add_post; web_snmp_v3user_add_post; web_snmpv3_remote_engineId_add_post; web_stp_globalSetting_post; web_isg_db_post; web_tacplus*_post handlers; web_dhcp_option82_post; and web_dhcp_port_option82_cid_post. A remote authenticated attacker can send crafted requests to crash the CGI process or web management service, resulting in denial of service.
