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.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the Yealink SIP-T46U device, specifically in the firmware component responsible for handling firmware chunk uploads. It involves the function sprintf in the /api/upgrade/upgrade file. By manipulating the arguments uid or start_offset, an attacker can cause a stack-based buffer overflow.

The attack requires the attacker to be within the local network to exploit this vulnerability. The exploit has been made public, meaning it is known and potentially usable by attackers.

Impact Analysis

Exploiting this vulnerability can lead to a stack-based buffer overflow, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, cause a denial of service, or gain elevated privileges on the affected device.

Since the vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability (as indicated by the high CVSS scores), it can result in significant security risks including unauthorized access and disruption of services.
