Description

PLANET GS-4210-16P2S firmware before 3.441b260626 contains authenticated stack buffer overflow and null pointer dereference vulnerabilities in /cgi-bin/dispatcher.cgi. The web_radiusSrv*_post family of handlers copies the radKey, radKey_0, radDftParamKey, radName, and radIp POST parameters into fixed-size stack buffers without length validation, and additionally dereferences radName and radIp without verifying their presence in the request. A remote authenticated attacker can send crafted requests to crash the CGI process or web management service, resulting in denial of service.

Executive Summary

CVE-2026-77217 is an authenticated stack buffer overflow and null pointer dereference vulnerability in PLANET GS-4210-16P2S firmware before 3.441b260626. The flaw exists in /cgi-bin/dispatcher.cgi where certain POST parameters (radKey, radKey_0, radDftParamKey, radName, radIp) are copied into fixed-size stack buffers without length checks. Additionally, radName and radIp are dereferenced without verifying their presence in requests.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, monitor for crashes in the CGI process or web management service of PLANET GS-4210-16P2S devices running firmware versions prior to 3.441b260626. Check logs for unusual POST requests targeting /cgi-bin/dispatcher.cgi with parameters like radKey, radKey_0, radDftParamKey, radName, or radIp. Use network traffic analysis tools to inspect for malformed requests.

Impact Analysis

A remote authenticated attacker can exploit this to crash the CGI process or web management service, causing denial of service. This may disrupt network management operations and require manual intervention to restore services.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediately update the firmware of all PLANET GS-4210-16P2S devices to version 3.441b260626 or later. Restrict access to the web management interface to trusted networks or IP addresses. Disable unnecessary services and monitor for suspicious activity.
