Description
PLANET GS-4210-16P2S firmware before 3.441b260626 contains multiple authenticated stack buffer overflow vulnerabilities in /cgi-bin/dispatcher.cgi. The following handlers copy attacker-controlled POST parameters into fixed-size stack buffers without length validation: web_vlan_membership_edit_dialog_post; web_dai_vlan_post; web_poe_alive_rmtip_post; web_sys_sntp_post; web_tool_upgradeManager_post; web_port_countersClr_post; web_rmon_statisticsClr_post; web_cablediag_copper_post; web_aaa_*Authlist* handlers; web_acl_mgmt_Rules_Apply_post; web_acl_mgmt_Rules_Edit_post; web_acl_*AceDel_post handlers; web_acl_*AceAdd/Edit_post handlers; web_acl_bindAdd_post; web_acl_bindEdit_post; web_snmp_v3view_add_post; web_snmp_v3group_add_post; web_snmp_v3community_add_post; web_snmp_v3host_add_post; web_snmp_notifyv3_add_post; web_snmp_v3user_add_post; web_snmpv3_remote_engineId_add_post; web_stp_globalSetting_post; web_isg_db_post; web_tacplus*_post handlers; web_dhcp_option82_post; and web_dhcp_port_option82_cid_post. A remote authenticated attacker can send crafted requests to crash the CGI process or web management service, resulting in denial of service.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a stack buffer overflow in several POST handlers of dispatcher.cgi. It allows a remote attacker who can authenticate to the device to send crafted POST requests that copy data into fixed‑size buffers without length validation. This can terminate the CGI process or the entire web management service, causing a denial of service. The weakness is classic stack corruption (CWE‑121).

Affected Systems

Affected devices are PLANET Technology Corp.’s GS‑4210‑16P2S routers that run firmware versions earlier than 3.441b260626. No other product versions are listed. The attack is performed via the web interface’s dispatcher.cgi using the enumerated handlers.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 6.9, indicating a moderate severity. EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because authentication is required, the attack vector is remote‑authenticated. If an attacker obtains valid credentials, they can trigger the overflow and cause a service crash, leading to downtime. The absence of a publicly known exploit does not mitigate the risk, as the logic is straightforward and could be abused through credential compromise. Network isolation or stronger authentication increases the barrier to exploitation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the device firmware to version 3.441b260626 or later, which removes the vulnerable handlers.
  • Restrict access to the web management interface to trusted internal networks or enforce strong authentication mechanisms.
  • Regularly scan the device for unauthorized accounts and change default credentials to prevent credential compromise.
