Impact
A stack‑based buffer overflow in thttpd on GeoVision’s GV‑LPC2011 and GV‑LPC2211 appliances allows an unauthenticated attacker to send an overly long HTTP request that overflows a server buffer, potentially corrupting memory, crashing the service, or executing arbitrary code. This classic stack‑overflow flaw is identified as CWE‑121.
Affected Systems
The vulnerability affects GeoVision Inc.'s GV‑LPC2011 and GV‑LPC2211 appliances that run thttpd. Firmware versions V1.12 and earlier are known to be vulnerable; the listing does not explicitly include V1.13, which is presumed to contain the fix.
Risk and Exploitability
With a CVSS score of 9.8, the issue is critical and remotely exploitable via a crafted HTTP request. EPSS data is unavailable, and the vulnerability is not yet listed in CISA's KEV catalog, but the lack of discovery data does not reduce the likelihood that attackers will target these widely deployed surveillance devices. Successful exploitation could grant the attacker remote code execution or cause a denial of service for the managed device.
