TITLE

Linksys WVC54GC NetCamPlayerWeb11gv2 ActiveX control stack buffer overflow

DESCRIPTION

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities on the Cisco Linksys WVC54GCA wireless video camera with firmware 1.00R22 and 1.00R24 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the next_file parameter to (1) main.cgi, (2) img/main.cgi, or (3) adm/file.cgi; or (4) the this_file parameter to adm/file.cgi. The Linksys WVC54GC NetCamPlayerWeb11gv2 ActiveX control contains a stack buffer overflow, which may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. (1) main.cgi To next_file Parameters (2) img/main.cgi To next_file Parameters (3) adm/file.cgi To next_file Parameters (4) adm/file.cgi To this_file Parameters. An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks. Linksys WVC54GCA Wireless-G Internet Home Monitoring Camera firmware 1.00R22 and 1.00R24 are affected; other versions may also be vulnerable. Linksys WVC54GCA is a wireless network camera. Remote attackers can send The camera's console submits a malicious request to perform a cross-site scripting attack. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secunia is pleased to announce the release of the annual Secunia report for 2008.

This is related to vulnerability #1 in: SA33032 2) Input passed to the "next_file" parameter in img/main.cgi is not properly verified before being used to read files. This can be exploited to read the .htpasswd file from the current directory and disclose the administrator's password. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires valid user credentials. 3) Input passed to the "next_file" parameter in img/main.cgi, main.cgi, and adm/file.cgi is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. The vulnerabilities are reported in firmware versions 1.00R22 and 1.00R24. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Use the product in trusted networks only. Filter malicious characters and character sequences in a web proxy.

This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into visiting a malicious website. SOLUTION: Update to version 1.25.
