TOTOLINK CA300-PoE firmware buffer overflow in language setting handler
TOTOLINK CA300-PoE firmware 6.2c.884 has a remotely reachable buffer overflow in its web management interface. Exploiting it requires high privileges. No fix is listed, so restrict management access and watch for vendor updates.
In plain terms
The TOTOLINK CA300-PoE is a network device managed through a built-in web interface. In firmware version 6.2c.884, the part of that interface that changes the display language does not check the length of the input it receives. Sending too much data can overflow a buffer, which means data spills past the memory set aside for it and overwrites other parts of the device's memory.
Flaws like this can crash the device or, in worse cases, let an attacker take control of it. The attacker would need administrator-level access to the interface first, which limits the risk. Organisations and individuals running this device, especially with its management interface reachable from untrusted networks, should take note.
