Exploitability
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-121 | A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). |
| CWE-119 | The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow in the function RP_doSpecifySiteSurvey of certain Linksys range extenders (models RE6250, RE6300, RE6350, RE6500, RE7000, and RE9000) running specific firmware versions. It occurs due to improper handling of the argument ssidhex, which can be manipulated remotely to overflow the stack and potentially execute arbitrary code.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability can allow a remote attacker to exploit the stack-based buffer overflow to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to unauthorized control over the affected device. This can compromise the device's confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
