iDEFENSE Security Advisory 2005-09-13.5

Posted Sep 14, 2005

Authored by iDefense Labs, Greg MacManus | Site idefense.com

iDEFENSE Security Advisory 09.13.05 - Remote exploitation of a buffer overflow vulnerability in multiple versions of the firmware for Cisco Systems Inc.'s Linksys WRT54G wireless router may allow unauthenticated execution of arbitrary commands as the root user. The vulnerability specifically exists in the 'apply.cgi' handler of the httpd running on the internal interfaces, including the by default the wireless interface. This handler is used by the many of the configuration pages to perform the configuration management of the router. If an unauthenticated remote attacker sends a POST request to the apply.cgi page on the router with a content length longer than 10000 bytes, an exploitable buffer overflow may occur. iDEFENSE has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in version 3.01.03 of the firmware of the Linksys WRT54G, and has identified the same code is present in version 3.03.6. All versions prior to 4.20.7 may be affected.
